In science we trust

 

 

 

"Science is the true theology."

Thomas Paine

Arab Muslims were some of the best scientists, navigators,

architects and mathematicians in the world. Unfortunately they

have seemingly regressed for the past 700 years. To many Muslims,

the Koran, like the Bible, contains all the answers. Putting all of

your trust in ancient texts make you extremely lazy and ignorant.

There exist about 10 million species in 2013.

It is estimated that there have been up to 4 billion.

Most species go extinct; that is a great designer, huh?

 

 

In regard to language, there are about 6,700 languages in 2013.

It is estimated that there have been as many as 100,000.

"The big difference between science and religion is found in the presence or absence

 of error correction mechanisms. Through error correction, science builds a continuing

body of knowledge that can be objectively tested and relied upon."
