    Religious people are more enlightened and spiritually motivated to undertake any task. Why should some one doubt them?

    Yes, who exactly is giving me guidelines? Have you thought, for example, that may be it MUST be used to kill millions of people? Have you ever seen a burned forest with a dying young elephant that can't get up, and a crowd throwing stones at him, mostly for fun? Same crowd that has no problem practicing infanticide as a birth control, paedofilia as entertainment and clitoris chopping as a part of a worship?

    Sickearth, your post verifies the reasoning there is a God -

    The premonition of Expulsion by the Creator is the backdrop for Mankind's failures and the pursuant reasoning for discovering the solutions and Remission to the Outerworld as the reward.

    I'm glad I finally proved the existence of a God, solving this dilemma of milleniums. Now do I get a status of a Prophet or what? I need your tithe and donations to start moving things around, saving souls of the poor yokels, etc.

    Only the reasoning sickearth.

    Conquering evil is the requisite for a Prophet.

    Religion information is slowly explained via science and for some people this makes religion not true, for other makes it even more true. It is a point of view.

    the purpose of science is not to explain religion, even though there are experiments that take on that challenge, like looking for the lost ark in the mountain of aramak. science proves what we can understand with our tangible senses.

    science's purpose is not to prove or disprove religion but proves what is around us in the real world. if religion happens to fit science explanation, it happens to explain religious explanation. it is not definitive for science that religion is proven or not.

    in other words to science it doesn't matter in the big picture if religion is proven a little bit or a lot bit. science will still chug on because that is what what humans can do.

    from another perspective, if God gave us what he or she gave us, why not use what was given to us. what are the religious so mad about? that the "almighty" gave us something to do? so he gave us something to do. lets us do it.

    what is this big problem between evolution and creationism and/or intelligent design? humans are demonstrating there ability. so what if it comes from God or it is something that is what we got at this point. we are demonstrating our ability. bottom line.

    my opinion is , don't combine a religious think with technology and realistic .
    Because they have a different background .
    People religious should think realistic too , for their live . and socialize with people being . and Realistic people or logical man whatever , must block the way of think with religion . because we can survive in the world . and Learn some way of live with religion .
    In every religion said that.
    That we must , act, learn, and think 50:50 ( world:God ) ( realistic:religious ).
    that was my opinion thank you ,
