1. If you insist on refuting science then stop benefiting from it.

    You can't fight belief with reason because it takes a complete lack of reason to believe something on faith alone. It is much easier to be told and believe that a supernatural god (and assuming your god is the correct one) than to educate one's self as to the observable realities of the universe.

    Gods are used to fill in the gaps of our knowledge but as our knowledge, obtained through the scientific method of observation, testing and review, increases, the gaps decrease. In order for people to justify their outrageous claims of the divine with the increasingly small gaps is to ignore or make uneducated attempts to refute our advances in knowledge. The ironic part is that the religious commenters on this site are using technology that only could be developed because of the study of physics, because the theory of relativity (and others) has passed decades of testing. That theory also is used, along with others, to gauge distances in the universe and help determine its age and origins yet here they are mocking the very science that allows them to use their computers, to live past their 30's etc.

    Science as a discipline and humanity as a whole does not have all the answers nor does it claim to. Science is about discovery and the wonder of the natural universe. If we all chose to throw our hands up and say "well I don't know why that is so it must be god" we would still be in the stone age and dying from tooth infections. Please feel free to question science as that is the very foundation of the scientific method but do yourself the favor of making it an educated question. Read a book that wasn't written by bronze age nomads in a desert 3000 years ago (or written by it's modern promoters) and I promise you a universe so full of wonder that no supernatural dictator could live up to it.

    P.S. to the vegetarians/vegans...if you choose to not eat meat good for you but please read real science instead of quoting b.s. We evolved to eat meat, our canine teeth and incisors are to grip and cut meat, our digestive system obviously processes it or our bowel movements would contain whole chunks of meat (funnily enough only certain vegetables and legumes come out that way). Enjoy your lifestyle but don't attempt to pass off personal opinion and personal wishes as scientific fact.

      It's not "funnily enough" that some veges come out whole.. that is sometimes their purpose.. it's called 'fiber'..insoluable fiber we need it to clean the digestive tract.. and most of the time you shouldn't be able to detect it in your crap. If you do that probably means you didn't chew enough. As for meat, you can see chunks of meat because it's the same color as your crap for the most part.  The only issue with meat is that it is very hard to digest. it takes a long time to break down. a lot of people loose their digestion abilities with age or certain diseases. This is when it is a good idea to stop eating meat. To take the work load of digestion off your liver. If you do not properly digest things it leads to toxins in the bloodstream which leads to inflammation which leads to a lot of unexplained muscle pains like the so called disease 'fybromyalgia'.. doctors give it a name but this is what it all stems from.. improper digestion.  And yes people with perfectly healthy digestion can digest meat but that means nothing since we can also digestion chemicals in the form of twinkies or other junk foods made solely from chemical compounds and not real foods. Young people who are healthy have strong digestive tract and can process just about anything.. but wait..when you get older you will find you can not long eat what you use to be able to eat.. this is where all kinds of diseases come about.. no one puts it together that it starts with digestion because it takes decades to form...   I was always a meat eater and started have major symptoms of fybromyalia.. stopped eating meat and it went away.  All because of the undigested proteins floating around in my bloodstream creating toxins and then inflammation.  So basically I'm saying as we age we can no longer process the difficult foods that do include meat. So you may want to reconsider your own theory and listen to your body. if you are over 30 then you may want to ask yourself 'why' you are have certain pains here and there.
