Religion is a complete load of crap.

islam preaches immorality prove it

Religion, although there is no hardcore "proof", still teaches morals and discipline, because a religious person who realy believes has reasons to be a good and honest person, whereas with an atheist (I'm not saying all atheist) or any person who doesn't realy believe there is no reason to be a good person because there is no God watching them, there will be no Hell/Heaven.

Anyone else SCARED by those who blindly follow a religion without ever really thinking freely and rationally? I am a strong atheist, and I just find people who follow a set of "rules" of a religion ignorant beyond belief. I am a logical person, and therefore I like to believe something based on EVIDENCE. Science is all about making a hypothesis and then providing evidence to either prove or disprove it, and the evidence for the theory of evolution is now so overwhelming I find it insulting when I meet someone who refuses to believe it due to their religious beliefs. People with religious beliefs have no evidence, and follow ONE book, which supposedly sets out gods will. There are books about unicorns and vampires, and the only argument religious people present to me is "You cant disprove god". You can't disprove vampires and unicorns, and indeed there is a vast amount of "evidence" in books to suggest their existence. This argument is an insult to anyone with an IQ above 40. When you have a debate with a religious person they also say that only a "higher being" could have made the universe, and say that something must have been around to cause the big bang. However this argument is flawed as ultimately someone must have created a "higher being" who then created the universe, and ultimately the creation of the universe is a question which science is alot closer to answering than religion which is in my opinion a cop out way of explaining how the universe was created.

Just interested in people's opinions on religion on here really, having read the God Delusion by Richard Dawkins its an area which I would like to discuss.

Wtf? Elaborate now.

since you can't disprove religion or evolution

When I was doing my GCSEs, I did some research, in my own time, into evolution. I read somewhere that evolution contradicts maths, it hasn't yet been demonstrated etc. I chose A-level biology just to acquire some more scientific knowledge.

I think that, since you can't disprove religion or evolution, there's no point in arguing that religion is false - what if somebody said that evolution is false?. Everyone has their own opinion on the matter.

That's a false dichotomy. According to, for example, Islam, it's not simply about believing in god(s) - you also have to believe in the correct god. As far as Islam is concerned, all non-Muslims, whether they are atheists, Hindus, Mormons, Catholics and et cetera, are condemned to Hell.

Err, what? Why can't evolution be disproved?

I don't know for sure. Can it?

Some of what you have said is false, the reason as to why Islam believes Non-Muslims that are after the advent of Islam, will be in hell is because they rejected the shahadah because of the belief in Prophet Mohammed being the last prophet to carry God's message.

The 'correct' God doesn't apply to all followers as Islam believes that Christians and Jews also believe in the same God as Muslims do, hence, why they are referred to as 'people of the book' in the Qur'an.

Firstly, that Christians and Jews believe in the same god as Muslims is your opinion. I'm not sure if Christians and Jews would accept that they worship the same god as Muslims. For instance, do you believe you worship the same god that followers of the Baha'i Faith, a monotheistic religion founded by the prophet Bahá'u'lláh in 19th century Persia?

Secondly, I don't see what of what I said is 'false'. Is it not true that, according to Islam, all non-Muslims, including Christians and Jews, are going to hell? Is the Pope going to go to heaven, according to Islam?

No it's not an opinion. The god that islam refers to as allah is the same god that jews and christians believe in.

Read the texts.

Believing in religion doesn't always mean not believing in science. You can believe in both. I know many Muslims who believe in evolution, big bang,... and are still strong Muslims. What I don't get is how can Science disprove religion and vice versa? Both can exist together.
