Zone1 How Would You React if your Religion were Proven False?

[Hafar1014]

Nothing ca n be proven false if you are unwilling to accept evidence to the contrary

Sure it can based on science. Validity has standards, alpha values, reputability, all can invalidate a study. It simply fails to meet the standard. We can prove a study is biased or flawed without another study which also works. Look at the climate change research thats all crap with manipulated samples and models

Jesus predates the goat lover pedo by 600 years.
Islam is a world metastatic cancer masquerading as a religion. And they have a domination plan like The Brain.
It surely isn't any kind of religion the Founding Fathers of The United States intended to allow.
The U.S.M.C. was formed to fight Musselmans. That's real.
They wore leather neck armor to protect from the head choppers. Rifles win, though.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

To believe something is not the same as faith. To believe something while disregarding opposing evidence is

No, the former is faith, the latter is denial.

Of course science is probably wrong about some things right now.
That's why it constantly strives for better information.

probably? and its "left wing science"/"celebrity science" that's the problem, as it is used to bilk money from the minions of trusting souls who "believe"...[not to mention those who do not as well]
... it uses science the same way religious hucksters use religion...it preaches of the coming hellfire/climate change until you're good and scared then hits ya up for the only thing that can save ya from it...money, try and explain this to the CC faithful and you will get the same reaction as you would from any true believer.

No Reagan and the Pope caused the collapse of the USSR.

No doubt

[Meriweather]

I believe science offers the best answers we have with the information we have to work with. Of course those answers can and will change with better/more complete information.

How does the science of evolution, geology, marine biology, etc. help people to become the best version of him/herself? Studying evolution, zoology, astronomy is not going to build the inner person. Philosophy does that, and religion is not a science but a philosophy. No one attends church to learn about science, and no one enters a biology class expecting to learn philosophy. Both have their place in study and education. Studying evolution is quite interesting--but does nothing to address the problems that crop up in the workplace. On the other hand, religious philosophy has been invaluable in daily interactions with people--at home, at work, with strangers. It's senseless to pit science against philosophy.

... and religion is not a science but a philosophy.

you lost your mind on that one, religion is not philosophy not when written as bibles strewn w/ forgeries lies and fallacies on nearly every page. ... think again without being greedy in an attempt to warrant accountability - honesty.

• Both religion and philosophy grapple with profound questions about life, death, morality, and the nature of reality.
  
  
• • Influence on Each Other: Philosophy can inform and be informed by religious thought, and vice versa, particularly in areas like philosophy of religion.
    
  • Seeking Meaning and Purpose: Both can provide frameworks for finding meaning and purpose in life.

Too busy worshipping at the altar of climate change?

Too busy worshipping at the altar of climate change?

Nope, I accept what happens and adapt.

Nope, I accept what happens and adapt.

even if it means amber skies?

Because you argue and debate without set ground rules when it comes to what constitutes *evidence and/or proof...when one of the mindless white liberals trying to wiggle out of a verbal jam asks for proof of something, I ask them what they will accept as proof, to this date I have never been given an answer no matter the subject.

Man made climate change is a ruse, it targets American coffers, it is to syphon off U.S. currency/money to run through the economies of socialist countries, the economies that were once oiled and lubed by us before being defunded by U.S. tax cuts.

*btw, proof, outside the self, is only a concept, it exists only when we agree on what it is that the parties involved are willing to mutually believe or take on faith...without that it is impossible for proof to exist because it exists only in the mind like an idea or thought.

Just so we're clear, what is?

You mean like the empirical climate evidence of the geologic record? Or the empirical evidence that human life begins at conception?

The study of evolution helps a lot to address workday problems.

Evolutionary Algorithms in Problem Solving

• Inspired by natural selection, these algorithms “evolve” solutions over time by testing, mutating, and selecting the best-performing options.
• Used in software development, network optimization, and product design to tackle complex problems that traditional methods struggle with.
• Example: Google and Amazon use evolutionary algorithms to improve recommendation systems and logistics.

Human-Centered Tech Design

• Evolutionary psychology helps tech companies understand innate human behaviors—like the need for autonomy, social connection, and fairness.
• This insight drives better UX/UI design, making apps and platforms more intuitive and emotionally satisfying.
• Example: Slack’s interface encourages collaboration and mimics natural conversational flow, boosting team engagement.

And this makes my point as you are now crossing the line into philosophy. By the way, I teach evolution, and none of the above is a part of the curriculum because none of it can be consistently shown or measured in an experiment. For example, there is no way of quantitatively measuring "emotionally satisfying." That belongs to philosophy.

So what do you do when your religion - the religion that you were brought up to believe - is disproven by science?

We are pathetic sheeple. We will follow any God who shows he will do anything for us, be it good or evil. That is why we love genocidal Gods so much.

defined religions are not philosophy - as the desert religions when made into scriptural monologues of unfounded and non verifiable applications used as facts for subjective conclusions nor remotely considered a science for the same reasons.
