"Secular Humanism is not a religion. That is one of the dumbest arguments out there. It may be a belief system but it does not worship. It has none of the attributes of a religion."
No?? Secular humanism is a systematic belief system that values man's opinion above all things and sees man as the end of all things. Thus man worships (ascribes worth to) himself (mankind) and places no other being above man, who is answerable only to himself. Sounds like a religion to me.
"Science is merely a system of proofs. Science does not concern itself with the unprovable. One version of reality posits a first mover, many scientists believe in a first mover. What you want is to negate the very principles of scientific study. Only someone like you who denies the existence of time as defined by science sees science as a threat to your belief system."
If science is a system of proofs, why is evolution considered a scientific fact?? It has never been proven to be true, and never will be proven to be true. There is not one single verifiable example of evolution from one species to another -- none. It is neither reproducible nor verifiable. But somehow it is a scientific fact, accepted by all as real fact. Something is wrong here.
You say that science does not concern itself with the unprovable and that allows them to automatically dismiss out of hand anything having to do with God or the supernatural. I go back to my example of earlier today -- You have a question with 3 possibly valid answers, one of which is correct. You automatically dismiss one of the possibly valid answers because it is unprovable, leaving you with only 2 possible answers, but now both of them could be wrong. If the first answer turns out to be the correct one, you will never find out because you dismissed it out of hand. Welcome to the dark ages, volume two.
