Science is better than religion

- In your piece you write, that “Science is humble. It knows what it knows and it knows what it doesn’t know.” In fact, mainstream scientific thought has sometimes been wrong, and it is constantly changing and revising itself. So how can you be so sure that science supports your belief that God does not exist?

Ricky Gervais: Science doesn’t concern itself with the non-existence of something. The periodic table of imaginary things would be too big for a classroom- infinitely big in fact, and rather pointless. It’s not trying to prove the non-existence of anything supernatural. All it knows is there is no scientific proof of anything supernatural so far. When someone presents a jar of God it will test it. If it finds some evidence of “godness” it will follow the evidence till it knows everything it can.

The fact that science can say “we don’t know” is exactly my point. Science doesn’t start with a set of convenient conclusions and try to justify them. It follows evidence. In fact, it tries to prove itself wrong. When it can’t, it’s right. Superstition, religion and blind faith cherry pick the evidence and justify the results by changing the goal posts. There are no cover-ups in science. For better or worse it finds stuff out. It has no moral code as such. It leaves those decisions to society. It discovers life saving drugs but leaves it up to you whether to use them or not. It discovers that splitting the atom can release a massive amount of energy very quickly and leaves it up to governments to try it out or not. It finds out what and how and why. It asks can we? Not should we? This is why it baffles me that some god fearers believe that without a god there is no reason to be good. Really?

Another great Ricky gervais response

- @rickygervais: “@Julwee: atheists are more annoying than Jehovas Witness + Scientologists + war + famine”

"The Lord God made them all"
sing along...haha

Why are ppl so against atheism

- I find it odd that so many ppl believe in god without any proof,I'm not saying I don't believe because there is no proof,I don't believe in god because is so absurd to think a super-being created us when there is so much evidence against that notion.
A lot of the founding fathers wanted to get rid of religion cause it was deemed useless.
A lot of the educated people in this world are atheist.
Here is a Ricky gervais quote:“@rickygervais: Why chose something like evolution to deny? Way too much evidence. U look stupid. Chose something with no evidence to deny. That's what I do”
