More dangerous than suicide bombing?

Definitly when you look at it from a science standpoint..We all know religion and science doesn’t mix...So tell me, where would you be if not for the panoply of scientific advancements?

It means that bronze age ideas are holding back society. It would be the same thing as preaching the earth is flat and that the sun revolves around the earth.

Like I said, anything can be dangerous.

Neither of us can prove the existence of God, so it doesn’t matter.

You are intellectually honest, this is true, I am talking about people making up stuff about the scientific community, Like Kent Hovind and Ken Ham are prime examples.

Independent thought is not needed for life, so taking it away isn’t dangerous at all.

Are you THAT daft??? Independant thought is the cornerstone for modern society in an industrialized world. Independant thought is what allows you to be a christian, jew, or muslim...There is no advancement in society if there is repression of thought...
