Do you find more comfort in the "science" or "religious" explainations of life?

I don’t find comfort in either, but the scientific explanations are more likely to be closer to truth.

Yes. Both. I look to science to help explain the wonder I feel about everything around me. I am amazed by it all, learning how and why just makes it all more wonderful.

The truth as discovered by science has always been the more interesting one.

I find comfort in both. I believe in God and consider myself a Christian. But believing in God, to me, does not take away from science and vice versa.

Are you specifically talking about abiogenesis? or are you talking about things like evolution also?

Yes I do. I really dont care what anyone else thinks about, it works for me. I’m not that nice, I dont attend church, but I live by the bible. I dont even like most Christians tbh.

I don’t believe in God. But I also don’t think science explains the universe necessarily.

It’s merely our efforts to codify what is happening in the universe. All of that existed before we put a name to it. Or observed the pattern in which it occurs. It’s a language with which to understand the universe.

I do find how we rein that knowledge as a tool to be quite fascinating. Not sure if I’d describe it as comforting though?

There are no logical religious explanations, for anything, in real life.

The beauty of science, is that it is not accepted, unless it withstands great scrutiny.
Science, does not hide from scrutiny, like religion does.

Science is also subject to change, if issues are found in it.
If issues are pointed out in regards to religion, it is stomped out. “Blasphemy,” is an offense, often punished by torture and/or death.

Not a single one of the world’s religious “artifacts” has every withstood the simplest of scrutiny. Most are never even allowed to be tested by scientists. The reason is painfully obvious.

The word “comfort” bothers me, as well. I suppose, I am comfortable accepting the results of scientific research.

It brings me great discomfort, to think of our world leaders trying lead the way they interpret their deity or deities would desire.

The OP, has been through a LOT.
THIS is when the religious will come for you. When they believe you are at your weakest and most vulnerable to their indoctrination.
They will offer acceptance, and love, as long as you accept and love what they do.

The plague of religion, is that people are the vessels in which these parasites infect others.

Religion is NO DIFFERENT, from a parasite, in that it only uses it’s host to spread to others, until it ultimately kills it’s host.

What a great scam. You do what I say, while you’re alive, and great things await you once you no longer serve the religion in death.

Wasn’t that the strategy of the lazy guy on Popeye? I’ll gladly pay you tomorrow, for a hamburger today?..

An organized religion wants your life, and your money, and the same from any of your offspring. It’s sole purpose is controlling people.

Surely we all just witnessed a conman use the Christian people of America, quite easily.
