Penis shaped Church wasn't designed to be seen from the sky, say church officer - Polidicks

There's a couple churches here in Indiana that look like a pair of tits, [img]http://i.imgur.com/zewrf9g.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/IQZY1Qh.jpg[/img]

An atheist probably designed it.

[QUOTE=tek022;42842405]Now that's an oxymoron.[/QUOTE] Plenty of scientists are Christians, and Christians can be just as intelligent and scientific as anyone else. Don't be an elitist.

[QUOTE=slayer64;42844909]Plenty of scientists are Christians, and Christians can be just as intelligent and scientific as anyone else. Don't be an elitist.[/QUOTE] But you don't mix the two.

[QUOTE=MR2;42846112]But you don't mix the two.[/QUOTE] And why not? What's wrong with a christian scientist seeing it as unraveling the way god designed the universe?

[QUOTE=MR2;42846112]But you don't mix the two.[/QUOTE] That's so ignorant it hurts. Religious scientists discover stuff that rivals non-religious scientists in terms of importance frequently.

Religion and Science are not dissonant concepts, don't be closed minded, your beliefs do not constrain your mind unless you are an extremist or VERY fundamentalist.

[QUOTE=Some people basically]Religion + Science = NO[/QUOTE] It honestly makes more sense in my opinion to have religion and science interwoven and complimenting one another, rather than separate. There are plenty of holes and gaps in our scientific knowledge that religion can fill, and vice versa. Even if you do want to keep religion and science mostly separate, you can still attribute the formation of the immense clockwork of the universe as well as the laws and principles that govern it to God, or to another deity of your choosing. We don't know with absolute certainty how the universe formed, how reality as we know it came to be with its laws, or how life formed on this odd little rock, so religion could help fill in those holes. Besides, both fields are highly similar, to the point of being two sides of the same coin. Both religion and science seek to answer humanity's questions about life, the universe and anything else not yet known or understood. Both fields use examination of factors in the environment and repetitive practice to make educated guesses, although whether or not said guesses lead to confirmation varies. Both fields have their brilliant trailblazers, their great mortal heroes, and their enlightened prophets proclaiming what is to come for humanity. Both fields encourage people to trust in a higher power that governs existence (intelligent or otherwise), to test their faith in exchange for greater knowledge, and to assist their fellow man for the sake of the greater good of humanity. Acting like the two are fully incompatible just seems wrong to me. They're so similar and interwoven to begin with that I'd expect them to be actively combined, rather than forcibly separated by the people.

Go out and experiment and find out what the true answer really is.

Honestly, i'd rather be talking about dick-churches.

[QUOTE=TurboSax;42846731]There are plenty of holes and gaps in our scientific knowledge that religion can fill[/QUOTE] ?????????? vice versa maybe but no that's not how science works it's cool to be able to do religious sciences like historical research focused on finding the sciences behind scriptures (lots of mental/physical health related things I hear) but it's absolutely incompetent to assume science and religion are 'similar fields' in any sense because they both research a thing. Yes, Christian Science [i]is a science[/i], but it's [i]using scientific method and informed research to fill gaps in questions posed within its own circle.[/i] It is absolutely incapable of asserting religion into sciences outside of its realm, not as a rule but how it works. It's basically like, Science as a whole is the town water supply and CS is a single faucet in a house. You can fill up a glass with water to solve your thirst but you cannot feed glass into the faucet to give other people in the system a cup

[QUOTE=daijitsu;42843901] because they're a prude and think everyone else is just as prudent and doesn't understand that most of humanity will find wingdangdoodles whether you like it or not[/QUOTE] If we can keep finding Jesus on potato chips, then it's a really bad move to go through with a design like this and just hope that people won't see it as a dick.

I really don't get the point of curved buildings. I can understand that for some purposes a round room is useful, but in general rooms with curves are just a pain in the ass because everything you use to furnish a place is designed around corners.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;42847404]a scientist must be an atheist in the lab. it doesn't matter wtf they believe when they aren't gathering or analyzing data.[/QUOTE] My understanding is that Jesuits take this very seriously.

This ends up with lots of pointless things or overly designed garbage

God wills it.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;42847404]a scientist must be an atheist in the lab. it doesn't matter wtf they believe when they aren't gathering or analyzing data.[/QUOTE] I think you mean they look for scientific answers that fit their religious beliefs, it's not as if they step into the lab, and instantly go, "Wow, that God dude, what a faker am I right?".

Science and religion are not incompatible, but must remain separate when conducting research that doesn't pertain to religion or the history thereof. That's the way I see it, anyway. I feel we're over-analyzing this. And yes, the church looks like a penis.

I'm not saying Christians can't be scientists, that's stupid. But they shouldn't let their religion get in the way of their work, nor use religious things to fill gaps.
