Question by : Atheists, did you know of the scientists that believe in Creationism?
You believe that people believe in Creationism because they do not understand the evolution theory. Completely false. It would be like saying Communists to not want to be Fascists because they don’t understand well the Fascist ideology.

Everyone has its own opinion regarding everything. Also, a person naturally believes that the rest of people are stupid if they don’t share his/her ideas.
It’s not that we don’t understand evolution. We have another opinion.

Believing that complex biological processess like camouflage, worm’s regeneration, bird migration
formed by natural selections and believing they were designed are two different points of view.
They can’t disprove each other. Choosing what to believe from these points of view is your choice.

If you would like a list of different scientists, engineers, and doctors that believe in Creation, here is a link:

WAS LOUIS PASTEUR AN IDIOT TOO?

“Posterity will one day laugh at the foolishness of modern materialistic philosophers. The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. I pray while I am engaged at my work in the laboratory.”
(As quoted in The Literary Digest – 18 October 1902)
The Bible says “God’s wisdom is foolishness before man” and “Man’s wisdom is foolishness before God”

Clearly, there are two types of wisdom.
Our finite one which created Darwinist Evolution and God’s infinite wisdom
which inspired Creationism
SCIENCE IS BASED ON MAN’S LIMITED WISDOM WHILE RELIGION IS BASED ON GOD’S INFINITE WISDOM
THAT IS WHY MOST OF PEOPLE CANNOT UNDERSTAND RELIGIOUS IDEAS PROPERLY

Answer by Jay
The existence of a god plays no role in any scientific explanations of natural phenomena. There are no models of the physical universe in which god’s existence is required or useful.

Question by MarkH: Why does the Unabomber sound like your typical right-wing parrot?
The Unabomber was left-wing? No. He was RIGHT-WING.

EXAMPLE FROM HIS MANIFESTO:

” Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong,
good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western
civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality..”

Words like “self-confidence,” “self-reliance,” “initiative”,
“enterprise,” “optimism,” etc. play little role in the liberal and
leftist vocabulary. The leftist is anti-individualistic,
pro-collectivist. He wants society to solve everyone’s needs for them,
take care of them.”

“The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of
competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser.”

“Modern leftist philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science,
objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally
relative.”

“If our society had no social problems at all, the leftists would
have to INVENT problems in order to provide themselves with an excuse
for making a fuss.”

This guy sounds like your typical right-wing nut. He attacks the left over and over again and never once mentions the right. The only two times he mentions conservatives is to call them fools for supporting tradtional values while supporting technology and for attacking big government regulation when big business is just as bad.

Other than that, all right-wing.

Question by : Is India the mother of all civilisations?
India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of Europe’s languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy.
Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all. Nothing should more deeply shame the modern student than the recency and inadequacy of his acquaintance with India….This is the India that patient scholarship is now opening up like a new intellectual continent to that Western mind which only yesterday thought civilization an exclusive Western thing.

– Will Durant (American philosopher)

Perhaps in return for conquest, arrogance and spoliation, India will teach us the tolerance and gentleness of the mature mind, the quiet content of the unacquisitive soul, the calm of the understanding spirit, and a unifying, a pacifying love for all living things.

– Will Durant (American historian)

The land of dreams and romance, of fabulous wealth and fabulous poverty, of splendour and rags, of palaces and hovels, of famine and pestilence, of genii and giants and Aladdin lamps, of tigers and elephants, the cobra and the jungle, the country of hundred nations and a hundred tongues, of a thousand religions and two million gods, cradle of the human race, birthplace of human speech, mother of history, grandmother of legend, great-grandmother of traditions, whose yesterday’s bear date with the modering antiquities for the rest of nations-the one sole country under the sun that is endowed with an imperishable interest for alien prince and alien peasant, for lettered and ignorant, wise and fool, rich and poor, bond and free, the one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for the shows of all the rest of the world combined.

— Mark Twain

In religion, India is the only millionaire……the One land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for all the shows of all the rest of the globe combined.

Death of Marat, by Jacques-Louis David

A Philosopher Giving a Lecture, by Joseph Wright

Iron Bridge, built by Abraham Darby & Thomas Pritchard

Improvisation 28 (second version), by Wassily Kandinsky

Best answer:

Answer by Bilbo
Marat was murdered by Charlotte Corday – but had aduistunguished career as a Doctor and Scientist. He was caught up in the French Revolution – probably the more influuential of his woirks was Discoveries on fire, electricity and light, published in 1779. There are plenty of potted biogs online – you may be able to find a more ‘revo;utionary’ legacy.

The Wright piece is describing an orrery – a model of the solar system and carried out in his characteristic candle-lit style. A huge contrast of the almost medieval technology with the space age implications of the subject.

Ironbridge at Coalbrookdale was the first arched bridge structure in the world to be made from cast iron. It helped make Abraham Darby famous and fuelled the Industrial revolution – an intersting thing about it is that its construction uses timber technology – it is put together with mortice and tenon joints as if it were wooden. Heaps on line about this. The fact that Darby had come up with a cheap way of producing the material was a significant factor in building the bridge (which is not huge by any standards), but its impact was phenomenal.

The Kandinsky piece is an abstraction of a horseman amotif which has apocolyptic ovetones almost a prophest of the Great War which was to come – the end of an era and the hope for anew beginning.
