    Does science prove the existence of god?

    Science can measure the effects of the Christian god. For example, in the belief of answered prayer, science can measure, in a double blind study, that prayer directed at a patient in a cardiac ward does not receive a benefot of prayer groups. Science can explore the origin of morality and show...

    Critics of atheism please come forward.

    A note that will pain most atheists

    As belief is embedded in faith, so too is belief embedded in the certainty of an invented god. I understand belief to the gathering and analysis of evidence. The conclusion is what is call faith of existence or "certainty" of non-existence for the atheist Isn't the mind a wonderful thing. I...

    Social Cooperation

    I believe that was the critical number, although it could have been 400 when society was formed. Anthropology suggests that those smaller numbers were the precursor. Hunter/gather groups were not as large (double digit) and had a very close to zero population growth. That was the beginning of...

    Does science prove the existence of god?

    Social Cooperation

    The family is not the cornerstone of society. Niether the nuclear family nor the extended family can survive without the resources provided by society. It is an evolution dead-end if the children of families do not reproduce and for this they need the health and well-being available to them...
