[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1823492, member: 17969"] The real answer 10 point, is that religion is only a "belief" and not a proven fact. Regardless of what ancient people thought or did, the intelligence level of those people was that of a 2 year old and "they" could believe anything placed in front of them, just like todays Christians. Science on the other hand, has existed long before man ever walked this earth or took his first breath. Science built this world and science maintains itself. Without any written "stories" religion is simply a fairytale. Something to control people with. Hard hard was it to convince a stupid society, that a space god made the sun? The trees? The ocean? Earthquakes? Floods? Rain? The Stars? etc etc.. you could pretty much tell them anything, and why would they question it? They knew no better. So this story grew legs, and changed over the years as it controlled people across many lands. Each time people questioned the legitimacy of the story, the more they were burned, tortured, killed and placed as examples to keep the rest in check. The spaniards did it the best as they took over many countries using this torture method of "converting" to Christianity. But the fact remains, if everything was wiped out, and mankind eliminated from the earth along with all the writings of religion, NOT A SINGLE piece of proof of religion would exist, nor could it ever be proven again. Science on the other hand, would be just like it was from day one. Gravity, the earths rotation around the sun, our solar system, the eco systems of animals, the plants, trees and fruits and such would all be a part of science and not some SPACE GOD floating around in outer space. The concept of some space god impregnating a middle eastern woman in the desert would seem just as laughble to a future people as it is to me today. TOS. [/QUOTE]
