Scientific Humanism would infer that you employ the Scientific Method. Please enlighten me as to what end? Do you wish to draw a correlation between the number of Haitians and crime? Or the number of Salvadoreans in a population and the teenage birth rate?
What exactly makes your movement scientific?
For one, we bring forward good stuff like "love your neighbor", etc., but can't bring forward Genesis or Adam/Eve because the geneologies add up to about a 6000 year-old earth. We can't bring forward unscientific teachings, such as "angels" or "jinns", or a magic guy who lives in the sky for 2000 years (but we do indeed bring forward the good parts, the parts that PHILOSOPHER Jesus said, just not the magic/unscientific Jesus stuff like "heaven/hell" of the Bible, as such.)
You are at best lemmings...at worst knowing co-conspirators. I tend to side with the latter.
In the long run, a scientific belief system will eventually outshine a non-scientific one. We can't bring forward, say, Mohammad riding on a winged horse, and then also demand that our children do well in SCIENCE class! (for obvious reasons!)
So we are the world's most intellectually-consistent overall belief system (at least we strive to be, and will change to achieve that) - and that's a great thing. We of course couldn't bring forward Revelation where it says that people are NOT ALLOWED TO IMPROVE the texts of the Bible - your children are too creative, they will indeed come up with improvements on all belief systems, we know that. So we are likely the world's most "improving" belief system.
Have a great week.
So actually you don't really have faith that God is in control or knows your thoughts and needs. O' well.
We are the world's most flexible overall belief system, since when evidence, to a court-room level, is found that a particular unique god is real, then we'll gladly update our beliefs.
We believe that we
deserve a particular god that cares about us enough,
enough to provide a court-room level of evidence that he's actually real - which would show that the other gods are just pretenders and/or just invented by con-men. As it stands now
there are 5000+ gods, and none of them can differentiate themselves - so of course they don't care about us or are not actually all-powerful as claimed. But we do hold out hope that someday one will care about us enough to live up to a court-room level of evidence. We deserve that.
