The Big Big Thread of Religious Discussion

[ZAKtheGeek]

Whats the difference of someone saying you can't argue something because it's "Divine Law" and someone arguing something because "boatloads of super smart people say so"? Sometimes we all take ourselves entirely too seriously.

There's a big difference. Pretty much all modern mainstream religion is based on texts that were written at least a couple centuries ago and called holy. Scientific theories, which "smart people" create, are often based on actual real-world evidence which you can thoroughly study and sometimes even try to verify for yourself. Plus, the conclusions of the latter are arrived at logically, whereas the former relies almost exclusively on empty claims. There's really a world of difference.
