Yes, and I created this thread in order to explore the extent to which the test results can be communicated [demonstrated] to others.
The entire point of creating this thread was precisely to discuss immorality and salvation as that relates to morality on this side of the grave as that relates to ones belief in God and religion.
In this bunch of posts we are discussing the compatibility of science and religion. But you insist on inserting “immortality and salvation” into it … two concepts which are either not scientifically testable or outright disproved by science at this time.
That’s what you say. Though science [unlike most religions] is ever intent on going beyond the concepts of immortality and salvation. It demands that those who speak of them offer us the sort of evidence that can in fact be either verified or falsified. Evidence that can in fact be tested. Religion on the other hand revolves far more around faith. Believers embrace The Word. They try to embody The Word. And they do so because this is what is said to bring them immortality and salvation.
Again, this thread was created in order to explore any actual existential renditions of this.
Basically what you seem to be saying is that if they really understood what Jesus was trying to tell us in the New Testament, scientists would be working with the engineers to create a technology that sustains what you construe to be a better society.
Scientists [have] been able to reconcile science and religion for hundreds of years.
Sure, in the broadest sense: nas.edu/evolution/Compatibility.html
But not in a manner in which flesh and blood human beings are able to connect the dots between virtuous behavior on this side of the grave and immortality, salvation and divine justice on the other side of it.
Can you cite particular examples from the world of science in which actual attempts were made?
So, what does Jesus have to tell us about, among other things, abortion or capital punishment or homosexuality or gun control or just wars or health care or the use of marijuana or animal rights or conscription or parenting?
He spoke about principles of living but apparently you don’t understand how principles work. Jesus was supposed to tell you what to do about each specific abortion, etc.
Right. And you can find these “principled” Christians on both sides – on all sides – of those issues above. For example the liberal Christians and the conservative Christians.
With many on both sides convinced that those on the other side are headed straight for Hell.
But then that’s not “the right way” to think about God and religion is it?
