There is a chance every day could be the final day. It's what makes living exciting. It's the whole doomsday clock fuss all over again.
It has been known for hundreds, if not thousands of years that the Earth is not flat. And look at what happened to anyone who publicly disagreed with what the wealthy, powerful Church said was fact - they were imprisoned, tortured and/or killed! Just think about what you're saying - "is it therefore not possible that Science could be wrong again?". You are comparing an incorrect, ancient view of the Earth, when virtually no technology capable of disproving it existed, and which only remained in scientific consciousness because of the Church, to the modern Theory of The Big Bang, which is supported by ALL available evidence, which is collected using technology that would have been thought impossible by the very people with whom you are drawing comparisons.
Meh can't be arsed. You **** up. You're quite right. I meant for me though, it makes no odds what anyone says or does. Won't influence me.
Who's to say that technology (and science) won't progress further and find the Big Bang theory to be wrong? I may believe in God, be religious (a bit) etc but I recognise that there are things wrong with the Church and there are things I don't agree with.
Same here. Religious whackjobs could find a glimmer of proof to say that god exists, i still wouldn't believe them.
I won't be. You can't be confronted by something that doesn't exist. I've never been in a fight with an alien, because they don't exist, and i won't be confronted by a beardy bloke, unless i get in a fight with richard branson.
Pascal's Wager. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_Wager Personally, I'd ask him why he decided to leave no evidence of his own existence and why he allowed so many of his representatives to be total ****s.
Nobody can. It is not unreasonable to say "this is scientific fact, it is supported by all available evidence, but I am willing to be shown to be wrong". There's no cognitive dissonance in the minds of Physicists, where they say "this is a fact" and then "I have my doubts but it's all we can do". To use the argument that technology MAY advance to a level where evidence may be found against the Big Bang as evidence itself that it is simply an unreliable, unsubstantiated hypothesis is not only immoral but moronic also.
