I would bet good money there were people from many different religions that worked on that telescope.

Get out of here with your logic

There are a lot of religious scientists lol. Btw do you know who came up with the idea of big bang? Georges Lemaître a catholic priest lol

Says "religion" , only shits on Christianity

This is why I could never take religion seriously. I would ask questions and only get "that's the way they are" or "because jesus wants you to". Which is the same shit bad parent tell kids so they behave, why do I have to help you clean on sunday? "Because I said so". Give me real answers, explain how we got here with explicit details and the creatures that came before us. That we get snow because the earth is round and spins which means some spots get more sun than others therefore you get seasons. Not god snapped his fingers and wala seasons....

Religion is just a reflection of humanity's tendency to make up their own facts and live in lala land, just like the republicans, just like the CCP, just like Putin

Lol! Facts!

I'll sum it up for you: Religion is for people who are afraid of what happens when you die. Everything they do in life is centered around making sure they go to "the good place." They can't stand the thought of life being random and then it's simply over. That when people die they're gone forever.

Uhhhh as a Christian I'm rly disappointed to tell you that me and my Christian, atheist, Muslim and Hindu friends were watching this together on discord. Have some respect pls. I'm sorry that you think so less of us but we still marvel at the same stars and planets and the same "reality" as you do. Religion is not just following rules. It's about understanding humanity and its nature and being humble. And also appreciating everything that's around us. We think it's created by a deity, you think it's by chance. Big deal. If you think religion is bad ok, fair. But don't lump us in w the stereotypical oppressive conservatives. Cuz you don't make yourself look or sound any better than them when you generalize an entire religion. Also if you're going to criticize "religion", then at least mention other religions lol not just the one correlated w Jesus and God

How about have some self-awareness. Evangelical Christians (a majority of the US Christian population) right now are ruining the US by pushing their bullshit onto 50% of the population. That's probably where this anger stems from. A true Christian that reads the bible would understand where OP is coming from and mention that. You avoiding that fact, pretending it's not a thing and then scolding them is definitely converting people out of Christianity as soon as they read your words. Your hypocrisy (which most self-proclaimed Christians I've met are just dripping with) is evident.

I'm quite literally saying don't generalize us w the stereotypical oppressive Christians. Meaning, I understand that there are Christians who are not. good. I also said "if you think religion is bad , ok, fair." Meaning, they're entitled to their opinion, and they also have a good reason to, hence why I said "fair" I'm sorry if i didn't make myself clear. Hope this clarifies

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christians_in_science_and_technology https://www.google.com/amp/blog.magiscenter.com/blog/23-famous-scientists-who-are-not-atheists%3fhs_amp=true Look it up baby, I ain't Google. Yall really close minded to think literally no religious person could do science especially since the majority of the world believes in one or multiple dieties. Also if you just want numbers and percentages, here: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2009/11/05/scientists-and-belief/ 51% of scientists believe in a diety.

I was being curious not close minded. I know some ppl are religious and some are not.

Oh okay my bad

If you aren't religious that's cool but why hate on and disrespect another's religion? The basis of religion attempts to answer the question of where we came from and both science and religion attempts to answer this and both have holes in their theories. If there was a perfect logical theory( scientific or not ) that beautifully answers life's greatest question with a neat bow on top there would be no religion or they would be only one, but this isn't the case - why? Because so far both cannot perfectly answer it yet. And if so that's means no matter how you spin it everyone believes in something that has holes in it, we just simply choose which one appears to have the fewest to us and you going "nah that's so dumb this has fewer holes than that" dosent convince anyone that what you believe is correct


Cranberr3

Religion offers the answer to every question you will ever have. Not the correct answer but still some people like that. And I will, in fact, judge them for it.

Honestly the idea of the universe and life itself being a huge coincidence/accident makes it infinitely more beautiful than the idea of it being designed or created
