Christianity and Science are compatible

Name: Anonymous 2008-12-07 18:33

In 1430 one in 99 of the world’s population were Christians.

In 1790 one in 49

In 1940 one in 32

In 1970 one in 19

In 1980 one in 16

In 1983 one in 13

In 1986 one in 11

In 1994 one in 10

In the period 1934-1994, the number of Christians in the world increased by 1300 percent (from 40 million to 540 million in the last 60 years), while the world’s population grew only 400 percent.

During this time science had progressed to higher and higher levels.

Things like ease of communication and influx of knowledge and collaboration increased too. I'm a Christian myself, but your weak correlation just makes us faith-bearing scientists look like idiots.

Do you believe everything on this website?

Correlation does not imply causation. This is a logical fallacy. Religion and superstition directly impede rational and critical thought, which are essential to the Scientific Method. Delusional ideologies are infectious and Scientific Knowledge builds upon itself, but the two forces are in clear opposition.

If anything, you've only shown that technology, brought about by Science, has enabled mindless dogmas to spread at increasing rates. What you fail to acknowledge, though, is a similarly growing number of non-religious and Atheistic people.  These two demographics are currently at about 20% and 10% of the global population respectively and grew by 5% and 2.5% over the last two years, which is expected to increase slightly exponentially in the coming decade. This would show that technology is also helping people to see how ridiculous religions and superstitions are.

The thing I find amusing* is how many people argue about how the story of Genesis somehow invalidates evolution (despite IIRC evolution being limited in scope to speciation and not origins of life itself which is covered by a lot of  hypotheses.)

*In the same a car accident can be amusing

It's also kinda sad how some tards love to treat science's willingness to admit its own fallability and correct mistakes as a weakness. As if being stubborn is more important than being right.

tl;dr Minor rant, don't give a shit about the thread

Eventually we'll reach a point where 1 in every 0 people believe in God.

Because statistics say so.

Eventually we'll reach a point where 1 in every 0 threads is a religion vs atheism thread.

I hope that >>6 and >>1 are trolls, not morons...

Don't change these.
