You must also remember that political systems that tried to
exterminate religion and calling it a scumb bag of our modern
civilisation also didnt last very long either
In the reign of the Tsar's time in Russia,
many Russians were strong believes of
othrodox Christianity before the takeover by
the Bolsheviks. When communism had its firm hold, religion was
banned, religious books destroyed. In 70 years after the fall of
the monarchy, the entire soviet union disintegrated and people who
once had their faith removed could now openly worship.
The taleban when they removed or blew up the Buddha at banyan
were cursed, resulting in their loss of power from 2001 to the
US-led Afghanistan forces. Is it not so that god has a
play in it?
Even countries that still practice "communism" and the northern
country that is a die hard communist all know that it is better to
keep religion alive and not to desecrate religious
artefacts for they know they shall be cursed.

Its a theory yes that is being research on. What is religion? A
belief that is passed on that has no scientific proof etc that can
be verified but is slowly being proven wrong with advancement in
science.
Do we need further research into the theory of evolution? How
many fossils have been dug out? You might as well catalog all the
plants and animals in this world and then make a
conclusion.
A belief that is passed on that has no scientific proof etc that

Is religion wrong in everything? The bible has for once quoted
scientific arguments in some chapters. for example, the existence
of lightning, the tides the days.
Major religious texts do have quotations on Scientific concepts.
True, maybe their concepts like Aristotle is wrong, but you also
have to consider the amount of scientific knowledge present in
those days and the people who copied the scriptures of the bibles
hand by hand. Mistakes were made by man. not by god.

If you didn't know how to read, species that did not survive
would have died out. Furthermore, there are still millions of
different species of birds, insects etc etc and not just 1. Please
explain that as well. If your world, there is only 1 bird, 1
insect, 1 fish etc, i really wonder where you came from.
It can't be changed too easily because too many people still
chooses to believe in it. People have believed in god for 2000+ yrs
yet science is only progressiing and starting to disprove alot of
stuff in the past 100 yrs or less so obviously it takes more time
to wakeup ppl who have sunk too deep into their beliefs.
What evidence do you have that it was even god who write the 1st
bible and not just a work of a man? There can be prove of its
existance but what proof is there of who wrote it?
There are evidence of species being extinct and endangered. We
don't even need go back millions of years. In the past 100 years,
animals like the dodo bird, the tasmanian tiger etc have become
extinct and they are real enough.
Fossils shows many different lifeforms in the past, way before
human beings existed. Explain why human beings came about so late
and how did those fossils came about? Its too much to evidence and
findings all over the world to be made by a group of people who are
lying. There may not be alot of fossil evidence but more than
enough to prove of live before humans and where do god appear in
those times?
Astronomy is a science, evolution theory is also a branch of
science and these are researching into areas that contrict what
many religious text talks about. The reason simply because there is
no evidence to prove what religion says is true and does the bible
explains the purpose of the moon or the other planets, stars etc
that we see? Its because theres a lack of knowledge that drives
scientist to research the field and by going into the field, their
findings start to contridict religious writings. In that sense, you
can say religion has driven science but into a direction to
contridict the religious stuff.
BTW, i assume u are not blind and know how to read my nick. If
you are blind to notice your mistakes, that will perhaps explain
why you are blindly beliving in religion as well.
