Facts don't care about your feelings

"Many believers admit that nothing could change their mind about their religious beliefs, which means they are no longer seekers of truth and have become, in essence, mindless religious robots. Religion consistently and effectively discourages introspection and inquiry. That isn't by accident."-- Bob Peters







“Rational arguments don’t usually work on religious people. Otherwise there would be no religious people.” - Gregory House, M.D. Season 4 Episode 2 The Right Stuff







PS. To the anon troll trying to prove a god made us all:







"Time itself must come to a stop [at the singularity]. You can’t get to a time before the big bang, because there was no time before the big bang. We have finally found something that does not have a cause because there was no time for a cause to exist in. For me this means there is no possibility of a creator because there is no time for a creator to have existed. Since time itself began at the moment of the Big Bang, it was an event that could not have been caused or created by anyone or anything. … So when people ask me if a god created the universe, I tell them the question itself makes no sense. Time didn’t exist before the Big Bang, so there is no time for God to make the universe in. It’s like asking for directions to the edge of the Earth. The Earth is a sphere. It does not have an edge, so looking for it is a futile exercise.” Stephen Hawking

What makes you think that Christians believe that facts are "at play"?

People who feel the need to say the self-evident and obvious statement "Facts don't care about your feelings" rarely ever have the facts on their side. They say it precisely because they don't have the facts on their side, but want people to believe they do. They want the people to think "Hmm, this guy realizes that facts aren't affected by feelings so everything they say must be ultra logical and factual and they can't ever say anything clouded by personal opinions and feeling, therefore I can trust whatever they say completely".

But sorry to you (and certain others), not everyone is falling for that shtick. Talking about how important logic and facts are is NOT a valid substitute for actually using logic and facts.

Tell that to atheist Nobel prize winning biologist George Wald

"When it comes to the origin of life, we have only two possibilities as to how life arose. One is spontaneous generation arising to evolution; the other is a supernatural creative act of God. There is no third possibility...Spontaneous generation was scientifically disproved one hundred years ago by Louis Pasteur, Spellanzani, Reddy and others. That leads us scientifically to only one possible conclusion -- that life arose as a supernatural creative act of God...I will not accept that philosophically because I do not want to believe in God. Therefore, I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation arising to evolution." - George Wald in Scientific American, August, 1954.
