The Godless Left

No disagreements here. Just pointing out the obvious for the non reprobate to see, to learn, and grow.

I feel bad for you. Truly, I do.

Men think good people are better than bad people. God thinks humble people are better than prideful people.

We want to make bad people into good people, God desires to take prideful people and make them into humble people.

Atheism Is Inconsistent with the Scientific Method, Prizewinning Physicist Says

In conversation, the 2019 Templeton Prize winner does not pull punches on the limits of science, the value of humility and the irrationality of nonbelief

Marcelo Gleiser, a 60-year-old Brazil-born theoretical physicist at Dartmouth College and prolific science popularizer, has won this year’s Templeton Prize. Valued at just under $1.5 million, the award from the John Templeton Foundation annually recognizes an individual “who has made an exceptional contribution to affirming life’s spiritual dimension.” Its past recipients include scientific luminaries such as Sir Martin Rees and Freeman Dyson, as well as religious or political leaders such as Mother Teresa, Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama.

Across his 35-year scientific career, Gleiser’s research has covered a wide breadth of topics, ranging from the properties of the early universe to the behavior of fundamental particles and the origins of life. But in awarding him its most prestigious honor, the Templeton Foundation chiefly cited his status as a leading public intellectual revealing “the historical, philosophical and cultural links between science, the humanities and spirituality.” He is also the first Latin American to receive the prize.


Marcelo Gleiser: I honestly think atheism is inconsistent with the scientific method. What I mean by that is, what is atheism? It’s a statement, a categorical statement that expresses belief in nonbelief. “I don’t believe even though I have no evidence for or against, simply I don’t believe.” Period. It’s a declaration. But in science we don’t really do declarations. We say, “Okay, you can have a hypothesis, you have to have some evidence against or for that.” And so an agnostic would say, look, I have no evidence for God or any kind of god (What god, first of all? The Maori gods, or the Jewish or Christian or Muslim God? Which god is that?) But on the other hand, an agnostic would acknowledge no right to make a final statement about something he or she doesn’t know about. “The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence,” and all that. This positions me very much against all of the “New Atheist” guys—even though I want my message to be respectful of people’s beliefs and reasoning, which might be community-based, or dignity-based, and so on.

It is not until you know what it is to be blind that you can know how wonderful sight truly is. You can not know the beauty of music and sound as one who could not hear and then can. And you can not know how wonderful it is to be freed from the guilt of sin and from the punishment of sin unless you are a sinner.
I have been propitiated and I am no longer guilty. I can walk out a free man and have no fear whatsoever that I will be held liable for my sins, I no longer stand unrighteous before God Praise Him.
This my friend is the message to the homo

Not at all friend.
I climbed out from skid row in the 80’s to become a husband father and a self made millionaire.

When I was 8 my dad was gone and mom died. I had a Bible because at that time I used to go to EV free church in Arcaidia California.

I read it at night and prayed in Jesus Name.

By the time when most are ready for college I was anything but a “Christian” but my relationship to God was not based on my righteousness. Based on God’s omnipotent love. All of my blessings are not due to my greatness as a Christian but by grace and mercy[emoji846]

But I did set my heart to know God’s word when I became a man. And therefore I can answer ANY questions anyone has about the Bible.

Ask away

Brazilian Marcelo Gleiser -- a theoretical physicist dedicated to demonstrating science and religion are not enemies.

A physics and astronomy professor whose specializations include cosmology, 60-year-old Gleiser was born in Rio de Janeiro, and has been in the United States since 1986.

An agnostic, he doesn't believe in God -- but refuses to write off the possibility of God's existence completely.

"Science can give answers to certain questions, up to a point," Gleiser pointed out.

"This has been known for a very long time in philosophy, it's called the problem of the first cause: we get stuck," the physicist, a father of five, said.

"We should have the humility to accept that there's mystery around us."
