Do they, please?

If scientific inquiry doesn't align with religious conclusions and or beliefs is it the atheist's fault or is it the religions fault?

Post #3When atheists point out the scientific reasons why they reject ancient religious as being nothing more than clearly false mythology they aren't using science as a 'weapon'. They are simply explaining why they personally reject these religious fables as being clearly false.
I'm willing to bet that they also offer other reasons as well. Such as the self-contradictory nature of the tales. The immorality of the tales. And the fact that the tales don't even make good sense.
I'm quite certain that many atheists also point out the extreme immorality of the God character of these religions. Why should an atheist believe in a religion that has a God who doesn't display any better moral values than ancient male-chauvinistic slave-holding barbarians?
I mean seriously, are you going to tell me that atheists only point to science as their reason for rejecting these ancient religious fables?

So, when a theist discovers something via science and this particular bit of science disproves some religious claim what then? It is the fault of 'Theism people'?!
I find it odd when some theists use science to try and back up some claims yet have no problem throwing whatever field or discovery that hurts their case under the bus.
In short, it seems many theists are not open to changing their beliefs based on actual physical evidence. Clearly the evidence must be wrong because their cherished beliefs could never possibly be wrong.

Atheists often use science and/or critical thinking when rationalizing a lack of belief in god. For good reason - neither science nor critical thinking permit religious beliefs. .
To a believer, this might be percieved as "misuse" of science as a weapon. It's understandable that they might feel this because it gives the atheist a huge advantage when debating a believer about belief in supernatural things which are not bound by the laws of physics (gods).
An atheist knows that a human being, dead for 2 days, cannot ever be brought back to life or resurrected. Organs and body tissues start to decompose after 24-36 hours. Science shows us this - this experiment can be repeated with 100% certainty that the outcome will be the same.
However, a Christian pushes science and critical thinking aside, and has problem

Post #9Wrong. Science is backed by empirical data and evidence. It can be verified and validated by any person at any time. If scientific finding results in an understanding that shows religious beliefs to be in error, than the religion has to deal with it...paarsurrey1 wrote:It is the fault of Atheism people, definitely .
