HEY! Comments are disabled for a REASON. Please do not spam my profile, whether you agree with me or not.
My very first stamp! I feel so accomplished!
Alright so this was spurred by a comment I came across on a pro-atheism stamp. Now just for the record I really don't give a fuck what your religion is or isn't. It's not my prerogative. I just think it's stupid that people can't see that Science and God are not opposites.
Here's the comment and my reply to them word for word.
Hai faive dude! I am stuck at a lutheran school. Does anyone have ANY IDEA how HARD that is for an ATHEISTIC SCIENTIST TYPE PERSON????
Do you have any idea how hard it is for people to understand that Science and God can easily coexist and be accepted as true in one mind?
I'm a professed Catholic and still I understand and except things that both science and religion "preach." Several people I know in the scientific community are religious and still "logical" in their career.
So basically what i'm saying here is, Science and God are not opposites.
_________________________________________________
EDIT: okay so I think i should add a little something about the whole evolution vs. creation thing real quick.
I do not believe in either completely. The bible says that we were created in one day by god who took some clay and a rib to make man and woman. Evolution says that we were changed overtime from simple single cellular organisms into what we are today. I believe in a mixture of the two.
God created the world to have science in it as a way for us to understand and acknowledge his greatness. Unfortunately most people take it one way or another completely. So based on what I believe, God is the original Scientist.
So there you have it. That's some of my reasoning behind it. argue if you will, there isn't proof that makes it true nor false.
EDIT 2: To address a comment a deviant made to me: My opinions and 'evidence' are not unfalsifiable. They are simply open to interpretation. I'm sure most people who are reading this know what analysis is, if not look it up and educate yourselves on the subject. The way I came up with my ideas and the backbone to my not-so-widely spread belief system, is through analytical comparison of my knowledge of the Theory of Evolution the Big Bang Theory and company and a few parts of the Bible, mainly the Book of Genesis.
In order to understand the Bible and interpret it one has to take into consideration the time period in which the bible was written and the intelligence and over all life styles of the people who were taught from it. Generally the masses were uneducated and the only education they had was their profession/craft and what the Church taught them.
Scientific explanations of any occurrence in nature where largely ridiculed and of course disregarded. The people of this time couldn't understand these as the only things they had been taught seemed to go completely against it.
Genesis, to me, seems to be a watered down metaphorical explanation of the beginning of the earth. The Bible is absolutely running over the edge with metaphorical language and all the bells and whistles that go along with it. Taking the surface meaning of the Bible it does go completely against everything that science says. But if you look deeper, as almost all religious texts of any sort are meant to be taken, one can see the possibilities that the author may or may not have intended. This works in a similar way to poetry and other highly 'deeper-than-the-surface' type texts.
The 6 days that Genesis says God created the world I interpret as an easy way to describe a much larger span of time.
The nature of analysis is to interpret it in your own way. This is a glimpse of how i see it. I'll post more later. Right now I'm about ready to fall asleep on my keyboard.

EDIT 4: For clarification, i am no longer Catholic. I do still believe in God, but i no longer identify with any established religion.
EDIT 5: Final Edit. If you don't read anything on this page, please read this. God does not equate to religion. Religion does not equate to God. Nether equate to fact. God is a belief, and yes, an unfalsifiable belief. Science is factual. Facts are not the opposite of Belief. Facts are proven based on undeniable observations of an environment. Belief in God does not involve science. It's not a matter of proving or disproving anything, because if it was then it would be science and not belief. I'm not saying one supports the other, I'm not saying anything regarding religion at all, and I'm definitely not saying trying to present any of this as "evidence" or "proof". When it comes to belief there is no proving or disproving anything, unless in this case, you're dead. Stop picking apart this stamp without even reading what i mean and trying to make me out as a threat to logic and advancement. I'm not by any means saying "GOD DID IT END OF STORY" I want people to ask "How did God do it?" in a way. I'm not forcing my opinions on you, my lovely readers. I can't make you believe anything based on a fucking stamp. I do believe in God, I'm not religious. I am a logical and intelligent woman, who loves science and looks to it's advancements. My boyfriend is Atheist, and he well accepts my idea that God and Science are not opposites, doesn't mean he believes in God any more or less than he did before. My opinions are unfalsifiable? Well fuck, maybe that's why they're called opinions. You think i'm a bible thumping Christian? You're a fucking moron. The bible is in no way a guide for my life. It's a figurative piece of literature written centuries ago, by man, probably as the best way that they could explain the universe at the time. God did not write the bible, he/she/it is mentioned in it. the idea of and belief in God had been around way before the bible. Bible goes with Religion and many different sects of religion because it is many different interpretations of the same text. And then many more from some simply ignoring parts of it.
THIS IS NOT AN ARGUMENT OF THE EXISTENCE OF GOD NOR IS IT AN ARGUMENT OF THE TWO OVERLAPPING. IT IS TO PROVE YOU CAN ACCEPT FACT AND BELIEVE IN GOD. THE END.

No but they aren't concepts that go hand-in-hand either. There is NOTHING scientific about believing in God and there is no scientific evidence that the Jude-Christian creation myth is ANYWHERE near accurate. The point is God could never be proven or disproved by scientific fact while nothing in science is proved by saying "GOD DID IT!". Religion doesn't belong in science and science doesn't belong in religion. Separate but not opposites.
People like YOU who try and shove your myths in with scientific fact threaten to destroy the fabric of logic itself. Creationists like you MAKE scientists want to disprove God's existence so you'll STFU. Your MYTH is not and never will be reality you really need to come to grips with this because you and your peers are making religion and science enemies.
