That's pretty big of you. I'm sure that the homosexual community is all gay now...Lusipher wrote:Although I dont approve of those lifestyles I would gladly let a child goto a stable gay couple. .
Actualy the cosmological constant has come back up lately regarding dark matter (or at least the general idea) I havent kept as up on it as i would like to lately but no persuit in science is ever wasted worst case senerio you find out you need to try something else. Besides while Quantum Mechanics is beautiful as a mathamatical and scientific model it is so ugly as a world view it isnt funny. So as the guy that kicked it all off i dont blame him for wanting to put the genie back in the bottle. Any way with everything going on Im supprised no ones brough up the Higgs Boson yet hehe.Mulu wrote:No, just those scientists who allow their theistic belief system to subjugate their scientific opinions.

And you missed one. Charles Darwin was a minister.
In fact he delayed publishing his findings for 10 years because he was afraid it would cause people to stop believing in God, ultimately only publishing because another scientist had independently come to the same conclusions.
Though Christiaan Huygens was actually an atheist, "Science is my religion," and Einstein frequently made popular references to god as essentially a propaganda tool to keep the masses placated in regards to scientific research. He vacillated between atheism and deism, becoming more deistic as he got older. Ultimately it was his increasing belief in god that caused him to pursue the impossible goal of disproving quantum mechanics for the last couple of decades of his life, as he couldn't believe that god would "play dice" with the Universe, a reference to the randomness of the subatomic. Time wasted.
They *know* that it's their own who seek out the abortions. Since it's also their own who tend to get pregnant as teens, making abortion unavailable boosts their numbers.Mayhem wrote:The thoughtful Christian should be anti-abortion personally but pro-abortion nationally.
If Abortion is easily available, but only ever sought out by non-christians, then Christianity will win by default in a few generations, as more babies will be born and brought up christian than non-christian.
That's just cynical, and doesn't really match the problem. The problem is that abortion may be terminating a life, which poses a moral dilemma to some, weighing the hardships and wishes of the mother against the rights of the maybe-life.Mayhem wrote:The thoughtful Christian should be anti-abortion personally but pro-abortion nationally.

Yeah, those selfish women having unprotected sex with all kinds of good and righteous men!Lusipher wrote: Why do these women think its ok to terminate a life just because they werent smart enough to use protection? Its selfishness.
