  • The conflict between theist and atheist or believers and non believers cannot be avoided. Both sides wanted to prove something. Atheist believes in the saying "to see is to believe". There are questions left unanswered. There are questions still looking for truth. We have the word "theory", it means not yet proven, just constracting ideas, a may or may not be. One thing for sure is that both sides is searching for reality and truth.

    • Religion and science are at odds. They conflict on many issues. I am an atheist, I do not adhere to "to see is to believe". I believe what is testable and demonstrable, even if it would be impossible to observe (i.e. the big bang). Even where there are unanswered questions in science i.e. the exact abiogenesis that created life here, using God is not an answer, as it is in no way demonstrable, and goes back to there being to evidence for God. The word Theory in science does not mean what it does in everyday speech. It means something that is an absolute ironclad fact i.e. theory of gravity, theory of evolution.

    • Theory is not the same as scientific theory.
      Scientific theories are fact. Regular theories aren't.

      Apart from that, you're good.
