@verita84 @snow @ArdanianRight @ChristiJunior @amerika @icedquinn @xianc78 And all scientists “evidence” used to prove any absence of God is thinly sourced at best
@realcaseyrollins @ArdanianRight @snow @amerika @icedquinn @ChristiJunior That's probably why I see more agnostic scientists than atheist scientists. Mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers have tried to come with experiments, formulas, arguments, etc to prove whether or not God or gods exist and they always end up being inconclusive.
There is also seems to be a decline in science as well as religion. As what @verita84 said in that we are seeing a rise of politically/ideologically motivated pseudo-science. There have always been divides in scientific theories and research but I think it has increased in the past number of years and now there are political motivations behind them.
Not only that but there is also a rise of anti-intellectualism in our society. We have people who take pride of being lazy and uneducated and openly brag about it. People don't seem to be academically motivated anymore. Our role models are entertainment celebrities rather than scientists, engineers, and philosophers. People care more about the latest iPhone revision or the current celebrity drama than scientific breakthroughs. I honestly believe that most people haven't cared about scientific breakthroughs since the moon landings.
Objective truth in general is taking a beating - I'd certainly argue that today's fashionable gender ideology is far more absurd than Young Earth Creationism. And no matter what you think about the China Virus, anyone who seriously believed in "trusting the experts" on this issue must have noticed all the politically motivated flip-flopping said experts have been doing.
I guess it boils down to Postmodernism waging war on and seemingly replacing Modernism, tho secular Modernism arguably sowed the seeds that bloomed into the very Postmodernism now killing it.
