All I learned from that link is that Elvis was a super stud

I guess I'm confused.  I always thought Christian Science was a theology. I didn't know there was no actual thing as Christian Science.

I'm sure some people who study Christianity would like to believe they are scientists. They aren't, though.

they are fiction lovers!

Christian science is unrelated. They were big in like the 1920's. There are a lot of churches in kc that used to be Christian science

before the current pope(catholic, i know) christian science just seems like an oxymoron

The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you

Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think

Deep. And true. Many scientists have come to believe in God after realizing just how miraculous life on earth, the complexity thereof, and the very existence of the universe is.

[CNS]

I don't think most of them develop religious belief because of complexity, I think it is the question of what came before everything that we know.

My quotes were from my main guy Heisenberg. He was raised Lutheran and struggled with a lot of things I relate to. He's a quote factory.

No - it is not just "God in the gaps" - for many it is based on complexity and probability. For example, it used to be speculated that there could be billions of planets in our universe capable of supporting life. That number has dwindled (relatively speaking) as scientists discover more and more conditions they believe are necessary for life. Read this: http://www.wsj.com/articles/eric-metaxas-science-increasingly-makes-the-case-for-god-1419544568 And that's just any life. Intelligent life is even more of a long shot.

I like this quote Albert Einstein, an agnostic (some would say atheist) but who it's hard to deny had at least belief in a higher power...

Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble.

so does scientology!

Nope, def god in the gaps.  I mean, "what came before the big bang?" Is a tough question.

IF there is a god, what are the chances that I am going to pick the one religion that got it right?

Just cause there may be a god, what makes you think any religion has got it right, that any god would GAF, and that you may benefit or be punished for anything by said god?

That isn't true.

Well you could just be a deist I suppose. But you should take a serious look at Christianity. Jesus was a pretty amazing man, and if you really stop to consider how unlikely it was, following his death, that Christianity would spread and flourish into the religion it is today, it's a strong indicator that Jesus was divine or at least had some divine intervention.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

I'm sorry, but equating Scientology to Christianity is to equate Captain Ron to The Hunt for Red October.

Atheism is in and of itself a far more pathetic religion then Christianity. All atheists do is substitute government for god. And mere mortals (albeit self interested psychopaths) with limited resources run government. Not very imaginative.

We all inevitably have unconditional faith in some higher being/entity, but monotheism is by far the most superior.
