    Troparion of the Holy Cross

    A related prayer: "Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered, and let them that hate Him flee from before His face. As smoke vanishes, so let them vanish; as wax melts before the fire, so let the demons perish from the presence of them that love God and who sign themselves with the sign of...

    "Scientism" on Wikipedia ...

    Does #101 by Nakosis count or is it not strongly worded enough for you?

    "Scientism" on Wikipedia ...

    Can't do what? Find an atheist claiming anything remotely like in the OP?

    "Scientism" on Wikipedia ...

    Probably not. Or maybe I could, doubt it'll happen though.

    "Scientism" on Wikipedia ...

    It doesn't sound very grand at all. I was just saying that some atheists (not all) make claims similar to that in the OP because they are intellectually dead, lacking the wherewithal to see the comedy of it. All my opinion of course.

    Hey, ID Creationists!

    Maybe they'll say it'll look the same if it's designed by man or God Himself. I have no idea, first time I'm hearing of these weird claims.

    I'm not, but that's just me and my circles of life.

    The last post is the WINNER!

    In the late afternoon, a victory stolen?

    Tried 'n' true.

    "Scientism" on Wikipedia ...

    Not all atheists are the same though, perhaps when someone uses the term they are not applying it to every atheist?

    "Scientism" on Wikipedia ...

    Would you consider "some things are and some things can be" and all that follows that kind of thought to be a metaphysical claim or something else? Just asking to clarify (for I had considered those sorts of things metaphysical claims which are justifiable).

    Ultimate Wisdom...

    I don't even think humanity can know anything without God (let alone be wise), but of course I'd say that.

    Does my personal crypto wallet count as a charity? Asking for a friend.

    "Scientism" on Wikipedia ...

    It was defined in the OP. In my experience, more than theists use the term.

    "Scientism" on Wikipedia ...

    In my opinion: when the nous is dead in the psyche anything can pass off as reason to a person. Sad days. Hence Psalm 6 (LXX/Vulgate) is given.

    In the Beginning

    Not sure, although I think a word opposed to silence gets at the idea. I think of time as opposed to eternity like that.

    What idea in it makes you not think of evolution as true? And poll

    That reminds me of one of my favorite sayings/conceptions of Scripture: all of nature is like a picture-book and the Scriptures are the words by which we can read it.

    In the Beginning

    I don't think so. Concerning creation, the beginning is contrasted with something without beginning or end. That's my take anyway.

    Wisdom of the day....maybe

    An option to do something stupid actually came up immediately after this. I used my head and now it won't be done, instead I will have a lot of popcorn. Blessed be wisdom. As it says in Proverbs: "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."...

    Wisdom of the day....maybe

    I'll try, but can't guarantee it.
