Don't be ignorant your whole life, take a day off why don't you?
"Science has never attacked any religion..."
Now....as soon as I prove what a dolt you are, why don't you slip into something more
comfortable.....like a coma.
1. We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, the geneticist Richard Lewontin remarked equably in The New York Review of Books, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories. We are to put up with sciences unsubstantiated just-so stories because, Lewontin explains, we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door!
2. In 2007, a number of scientists gathered at a conference titled Beyond Belief: Science, Religion, Reason, and Survival in order to attack religious thought and congratulate one another on their fearlessness in so doing. In his address, Nobel winning physicist Steven Weinberg declared that Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
3. In "The End of Faith," Sam Harris recounts in lurid and lingering detail the methods of torture used in the Spanish Inquisition. There is no need to argue the point. A great deal of human suffering has been caused by religious fanaticism. . . . Nonetheless, there is this awkward fact: The twentieth century was not an age of faith, and it was awful. Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Pol Pot will never be counted among the religious leaders of mankind.
4. One might think that the Holocaust would above all other events give the scientific atheist pause. Hitlers Germany was a technologically sophisticated secular society, and Nazism itself, as party propagandists never tired of stressing, was motivated by an ethic that prided itself on being scientific. The words are those of the historian Richard Weikart, who in his treatise From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany made clear what anyone capable of reading the German sources already knew: A sinister current of influence ran from Darwins theory of evolution to Hitlers policy of extermination. A generation of German biologists had read Darwin and concluded that competition between species was reflected in human affairs by competition between races. These observations find no echo at all in the literature of scientific atheism.
5. Emile Zuckerkandl Writing in the journal "Gene," he found it difficult to contain his indignation:
"The intellectual virus named 'intelligent design'...the 'creationists'...have decided some years ago...to dress up in academic gear and to present themselves as scholars...laugh off this disguise...Naive members of the public...the wrong-foot...the only foot on which the promoters of intelligent design can get around...guided by a little angel...medieval concept...and intellectually dangerous condition...the divine jumping disease...humanity dug itself into 'faiths' like a blind leech into flesh and won't let go....Feeding like leeches on irrational beliefs....offensive little swarms of insects...."
So....you said: "Science has never attacked any religion..."
And this turns out to be as insightful as every other pronouncement you've made.
You should stick to the job you were made for: door stop.
