Re: ALL SCIENCE IS EVIL, AND FROM SATAN! (aka THE EARTH IS FLAT)
Hahahaha alright, first of all i never said i didn't believe in god. I was only pointing out how weak his argument was. I believe that if there is a god then we are not capable of even fathoming the nature of its existence. The way i see it is i will either know when I'm dead or I won't, either way it doesn't matter ill be dead.
Second of all the crusades were indeed waged by many including Christians for Christians...
"The Crusades were a series of religiously sanctioned military campaigns waged by much of Roman Catholic Europe, particularly the Franks of France and the Holy Roman Empire. The specific crusades to restore Christian control of the Holy Land were fought over a period of nearly 200 years" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusades its wikipedia but i dare you to find evidence to the contrary.
Show me where in the bible where it says "Thou shalt not kill" only applies when God doesn't say to. i dare you to show me where.
Also Eratosthenes wouldn't have been able to use that method to measure the earth's circumference if the earth was flat. First of all on the flat model of the earth, Egypt would be relatively towards the center of the map and in order to measure the circumference of the earth in your model of the earth it would have had to be on the outer edge which is supposedly blocked by ice in your model. And if the earth was flat all of the shadows during sunrise/sunset would be incredibly large with mountains having shadows many miles long. Also if the earth was flat when ships sailed away they wouldn't disappear under the horizon which they do. There are hundreds of arguments that prove the earth is round many of which can be observed without the assistance of any scientific equipment.
And about that crazy drug addict... many hallucinogenic drugs have been proven to provide incredibly spiritual experiences, are non-addictive, and cause relatively little to no damage to your body. And I actually came across an article recently that said more intelligent people are more likely to do drugs than less intelligent people.
You are entitled to your own opinion which i respect. I will leave you with one final thought. We are never required to prove a negative. In other words the argument "God exists because you cannot prove He doesn't" is invalid. Logic dictates that you must prove something to be true or it is not true. Not the other way around
