Trivia Why is it that the more educated a person is, the less likely they are to believe in God?

[plhbg1]

illeterate with the religions belief i guess

so having a religious belief makes a person educated?

 

[ri_aus]

may educated theist po. so may educated atheist din. kaw na nga po nagsabi.

so having a religious belief makes a person educated?

no

 

[plhbg1]

may educated theist po.

yes in fact you said that only educated are theists (as they will not be confused) kaya nga tinanong kita did the illiterate theists look like educated when they are not confused?

san po yung only?

 

[plhbg1]

san po yung only?

ah so education does not matter naman pala kasi uneducated ones are not confused as well

 

[ri_aus]

ah so education does not matter naman pala kasi uneducated ones are not confused as well

i can't follow the reasoning po. explain niyo po

alright i get it, you mean truth as most likely true and that makes sense now

Definitions of Fact, Theory, and Law in Scientific Work​

Science uses specialized terms that have different meanings than everyday usage. These definitions correspond to the way scientists typically use these terms in the context of their work. Note, especially, that the meaning of “theory” in science is different than the meaning of “theory” in everyday conversation.

• Fact: In science, an observation that has been repeatedly confirmed and for all practical purposes is accepted as “true.” Truth in science, however, is never final and what is accepted as a fact today may be modified or even discarded tomorrow.
• Hypothesis: A tentative statement about the natural world leading to deductions that can be tested. If the deductions are verified, the hypothesis is provisionally corroborated. If the deductions are incorrect, the original hypothesis is proved false and must be abandoned or modified. Hypotheses can be used to build more complex inferences and explanations.
• Law: A descriptive generalization about how some aspect of the natural world behaves under stated circumstances.
• Theory: In science, a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses.

siguro mas malawak at openminded sila sa mga bagay bagay?

 

[plhbg1]

i can't follow the reasoning po. explain niyo po

sabi mo educated will make good judgement (di raw ma-confuse), i interpreted that as only the educated can make good judgement nag disagree ka wala ka daw sinabi only hehe so sabi ko education does not matter naman pala kasi walang only kundi both naman the educated and uneducated can make good judgement

bakit mo ko lecture ng scientific theory vs conventional theory? ala naman tayong ibang topic kundi scientific theory lang in which para sa iyo ay most like true hehe

Your question or the word you used is vague. What specific education are you pertaining to?

But to answer your question, it's not about how educated or dumb you are, it's about pride. People who thinks highly about themselves because they have money, houses, and everything then they will not think about God because they think that what they got is from their own work and not from God.
Also, a study shows that if a person who doesn't believe in God has the possibility to have hidden anger towards God.

If you're being honest with yourself, you will know why you don't want to believe in Him or God. It's either you don't want to follow His commandments like don't do sexual sin, don't s†éál, lie, etc. because you're currently living in sin and worldy things, or you have anger or hurtful past.

God is real, no matter what you do or say.

it is because they have something to be proud of, prize of hard work is something to be proud of, so those who have nothing to be proud of ay kumakapit sa magic hoping that there would be somebody to save them from failing

Also, a study shows that if a person who doesn't believe in God has the possibility to have hidden anger towards God.

if we hate god then we believe that god exists just like some of those theists blaming god for allowing bad things so this statement can only be applied to theists

if we don't want to do some commandments from someone then we believe that those commandments exist so this statement can only be applied to theists as well which believe that there is a so-called "sin"

God is real, no matter what you do or say.

but until it satisfies the burden of evidence it will remain as an idea or hope

Thank you so much, I'm going to stop here.

Believer. It's okay because religion is not the key to life but only in Him.

May religion lang para malaman kung ano pamantasan mo the way you obey God. You can solo flight believing in God pero mas maganda kasi kung may guide ka na mag eexplain sayo if may scriptures kang hindi maintindihan o kaya mali ang pagkakaintindi.

yeah, We humans cannot comprehend who really our God is. The more we try to find His existence the more we became baffled we are just HIs creations and He is The CReator. The more we humans become knowledgeable we try to comprehend things and we become independent coz we think we can handle everything.

CHECK THIS OUT​

1. THE INEVITABILITY OF FAITH.​

Everyone believes in something. No one can endure the stress and cares of life without faith in something that cannot ultimately be proven. Atheists cannot prove there is no God. Pantheists cannot prove that everything is God.

Pragmatists cannot prove that what will count for them in the future is what works for them now. Nor can agnostics prove that it is impossible to know one way or the other. Faith is unavoidable, even if we choose to believe only in ourselves. What is to be decided is what evidence we think is pertinent, how we are going to interpret that evidence, and who or what we are willing to believe in (Luke 16:16).

2. THE LIMITATIONS OF SCIENCE.​

Scientific method is limited to a process defined by that which is measurable and repeatable. By definition, it cannot speak to issues of ultimate origin, meaning, or morality. For such answers, science is dependent on the
values and personal beliefs of those who use it. Science, therefore, has great potential for both good and evil. It can be used to make vaccines or poisons, nuclear power plants or nuclear weapons. It can be used to clean up the environment or to pollute it. It can be used to argue for God or against Him. Science by itself offers no moral guidance or values to govern our lives. All science can do is show us how natural law works, while telling us nothing about its origins.

3. THE PROBLEMS OF EVOLUTION.​

Some have assumed that an evolutionary explanation of life would make God unnecessary. This overlooks some problems. Even if we assume that scientists will someday find enough “missing links” to confirm that life appeared and developed gradually over great periods of time, laws of probability would still show the need for a Creator. As a result, many scientists who believe in evolution believe also that the universe in all of its immensity and complexity did not “just happen.” Many feel compelled to acknowledge the possibility or even likelihood of an intelligent designer who provided the ingredients for life and set in motion the laws by which it developed.

4. THE HABITS OF THE HEART.​

Mankind has been described as incurably religious. In unguarded moments of trouble or surprise, in prayer or in profanity, references to deity persist. Those who would dismiss such thoughts as bad habits or social vices are left with unanswerable questions. Denying the existence of God does not dispel the mysteries of life. Attempts to exclude God from the language of civil life does not eliminate the persistent longing for more than this life has to offer (Ecclesiastes 3:11). There is something about truth, beauty, and love that makes our hearts ache. Even in our anger with a God who would permit injustice and pain, we draw upon a moral conscience to argue that life is not as it ought to be (Romans 2:14-15). Even unwillingly, we are drawn to something that is more rather than less than ourselves.

5. THE BACKGROUND OF GENESIS.​

On first reading, the opening words of the Bible seem to assume the existence of God. Genesis, however, was written at a point of time in history. Moses wrote, “In the beginning God” after Israel’s exodus from Egypt. He wrote after miraculous events that were said to have been witnessed by millions of Jews and Egyptians. From the Exodus to the coming of Messiah, the God of the Bible rests His case on events witnessed in real time and locations. Anyone who doubted the claims could visit real places and people to check out the evidence for themselves.

6. THE NATION OF ISRAEL.​

Israel is often used as an argument against God. Many find it difficult to believe in a God who would be partial to a “chosen people.” Others find it even harder to believe in a God who would not protect His “chosen nation” from the boxcars, gas chambers, and ovens of Auschwitz and Dachau. Yet from the beginning of Old Testament history, Israel’s future was prewritten. Together with other prophets, Moses predicted not only Israel’s possession of the land but also her unparalleled suffering and dispersion throughout the whole earth, her eventual repentance, and then finally her last-days restoration (Deuteronomy 28–34; Isaiah 2:1-5; Ezekiel 37–38).

7. THE CLAIMS OF CHRIST.​

Many who doubt the existence of God have reassured themselves with the thought, “If God wanted us to believe in Him, He would appear to us.” According to the Bible, that is what God has done. Writing in the 7th century BC, the prophet Isaiah said that God would give His people a sign. A ****** would bear a son who would be called “God with us” (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23). Isaiah said this Son would be called, “Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). The prophet also said that this child would die for His people’s sins before seeing His life prolonged and honoured by God (Isaiah 53). According to the New Testament, Jesus claimed to be that Messiah. Under the oversight of a Roman governor named Pontius Pilate, He was crucified on charges that He claimed to be the king of Israel and that He had represented Himself as being equal with God (John 5:18).

8. THE EVIDENCE OF MIRACLES.​

The reports of the first followers of Jesus agree that He did more than just claim to be the long-awaited Messiah. These witnesses said He won their trust by healing paralytics, walking on water, and then voluntarily dying a painful, undeserved death before rising from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-8). Most compelling was their claim that many witnesses had seen and talked to Christ after finding His tomb empty and before watching Him ascend visibly into the clouds. These witnesses didn’t have anything on earth to gain by their claims. They had no hopes of material wealth or power. Many became martyrs, claiming to the end that the long-awaited Messiah of Israel had lived among them, that He had become a sacrifice for sin, and that He had risen from the dead to assure them of His ability to bring them to God.

9. THE DETAILS OF NATURE.​

Some who believe in God do not take His existence seriously. They reason that a God great enough to create the universe would be too big to be concerned about us. Jesus, however, confirmed what the design and detail of the natural world suggest. He showed that God is great enough to care about the smallest details of our lives. He spoke of one who not only knows every move we make but also the motives and thoughts of our heart. Jesus taught that God knows the number of hairs on our head, the concerns of our heart, and even the condition of a fallen sparrow (Psalm 139; Matthew 6).

10. THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE.​

The Bible says that God designs the circumstances of our lives in a way that will prompt us to look for Him (Acts 17:26). For those who do reach out for Him, the Scriptures also say that He is close enough to be found (v.27). According to the apostle Paul, God is a Spirit in whom “we live and move and have our being” (v.28). The Bible makes it just as clear, however, that we must reach out for God on His terms rather than our own. He promises to be found, not by just anyone but by those who admit their own need and are willing to trust Him rather than themselves.

YOU’RE NOT ALONE if you are open to the existence of God but aren’t sure you can accept Jesus’ claim to be “God in the flesh.” The teacher from Nazareth promised help to those who are concerned about doing the will of God. He said, “If anyone chooses to do God’s will, he will find out whether My teaching comes from God or whether I speak on My own” (John 7:17 NIV).

If you do see the evidence for the God who revealed Himself to us through His Son, then keep in mind that the Bible says Christ died to pay the price for our sins, and that all who believe in Him will receive the gifts of forgiveness and everlasting life. The salvation Christ offers is not a reward for effort but a gift to all who in light of the evidence put their trust in Him (John 5:24; Romans 4:5; Ephesians 2:8-10

ahaha gagawin ba namang limitation yung properties mismo ng scientific method, so if that's the case faith will be limited to those things with no evidence since yun yung properties ni faith, and every word will be limited to its own definition which tama nga naman kasi pag wala na evidence di na sakop ng science and if meron naman evidence di na din sakop ng faith

Ang hirap sagutin ng sinasabi mo, kasi you use the word faith as a synonym of religion. Kaya hindi mo magets yung ibig sabihin na "science is faith".

para ding sinabi boy is girl hehe yung opposing words ginawang words of same meanings, science is presence of evidence and faith is absence of evidence tas naging science si faith so which one, do they both have evidences now? or they both have no evidences now as their newly invented meaning hehe

Faith is usually used in the first context. Here:

#1 definition ang ibig sabihin pag sinabing "science is faith"

#2 definition is the one used by the church. But this is only a derivative from the first definition, but not the full and only definition.

Faith is not the opposite of science in the simplest sense. It just means "complete trust or confidence".

Did i really have to explain how dictionaries work?

so how on earth science became the trust and confidence in something?

When someone thinks that science can answer everything and solve every problem. And takes the word of a scientist as absolute. Just like how a religious person would take the word of a pastor/priest.

When this person do not realize that a lot of scientific studies were subject to opinions too, with misleading studies that are done for the money. Very specially in the medical field.

This person is very easy to trick with any crăp presented as science, because does anyone really have an access to "experts" in reality. They rely on advertisements and word of mouth, not much different from someone who has faith in religion.

Thousands of people still die everyday, desperately holding on to their worldly desires, hoping that science can help them (and yes, some hoping for a miracle from God), extending their pain needlessly, but in reality, the only thing they truly need is acceptance.

same goes with a person claiming that science can never solve everything, only stu̾pid people claims science can solve or can never solve everything since the present status of science can change anytime, the correct approach is to set a condition like if science continues being on its current status
