Science and Religion are bound to coexist, I believe they do.

Not really.

e.g., The Church wasn't very tolerant of Galileo's telescope. Among other things.

The only religions that I think *could* coexist with science is Buddhism and Pastafarianism.

being a Brit in the USA, i can honestly say there's little difference overall. Americans generally are just the same as Europeans, it's the government that decides what America stands for. Policing the world i can fully understand, the strongest country trying to ensure safety. My main gripe with the U.S. though is the claim to be the land of the free... Wow, anything but!! So many rules and regulations. For instance, how many other civilized countries stop their citizens betting on their biggest sporting occasions online?? and don't get me started on ridiculous smoking and seat belt laws. The U.S. try to regulate their people in a way to make them behave how the government feels they should do. Thats not freedom. Laws are necesary obviously, but laws that stop you doing anything that you wish to that would harm no-one but yourself are designed to take away your individual freedom. The U.S. is NOT the land of the free

@Panasonic Apple, you can see the curvature of the earth for yourself. What's more, you can perform very simple experiments to show the curvature of the earth if you want, by measuring shadows at different places north/south. It's amazing the stretches people will reach to to justify their refusal to accept certain things, without knowing the evidence for it.

@Elroi, I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're trying to say. "finding fossils of animals quantified today, according to scientists Girls million years, or swimming to adopt a different genetic things do not make sense, for example, be an animal walks on four, then because of predators is open wings?"

@weaver That's perfectly fine. If you want to accept that science and religion go together, great. My problem only lies with those who think science and their religion can't coexist, therefore we have to stop teaching science to children.

@Genghis, you are, unfortunately. You simply don't understand it, as demonstrated by your assertions about it, and are unwilling to educate yourself on the matter. As an aside, some other apes(humans are apes) are far more similar to humans than you think. They are capable of complex communication, play practical jokes, lie to try and keep from getting in trouble... but once again, I bet you won't take the time to learn, instead you'll keep spouting the same errors while simultaneously saying you don't care.

Lucid... one last attempt to get you to educate yourself.

A theory in science isn't a guess.

Most Americans actually make fun of their country and hate exceptionalism. The US' foreign policy is iffy but the country itself is actually not that bad when it comes to standard of living, political, and economic freedom. I think countries like China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela deserve a lot more hate in that regard.

I state i don't care about the topic because it leads to fools like you acting like you're supreme to everybody, and other fools refusing to conform. The most intelligence thing to do is to not argue at all. When i say i don't care,I'm actually saying " stop trying. ".

US really hates and spews propaganda towards the oil producers that aren't allied with it, doesn't it? I will say that US does have better freedom and living standards than those countries, but US is high to begin with. China, Russia, Iran and Venezuela aren't low.

And in terms of foreign policy, US and the Sovet Union were the ultimate masterminds of the 20th century, and in the 21st, really, only China and Russia (for extensive spy deployments/soft power) and perhaps Iran (looking at the terrorists it supports in Lebanon) fit into the category of disruptive foreign policies. US is still monarch of disruptive foreign policies.

If you didn't care, you wouldn't bother to post erroneous things about it in the first place. But no, you care enough to ridicule those who accept evolution as valid science.

Venezuela, Iran, Russia, and the United States don't get along, but Venezuela, Iran, and Russia rank high on the corruption index and low in press freedom. And the propaganda is coming from both sides, Russia, Venezuela, and Iran paint this imperialistic, genocide-committing US villain to scare their citizens into political unity.

That is an extreme exaggeration, at least for Russia, though I think it is the same for the others. I will say that there are some, medium amounts amounts of propaganda in these states, as much as there is in the United States.

US paints these 4 countries as low freedom, unhappy, highly propogandistic countries that rigamarole their citizens into political unions.

Yeah, it's like when the US thinks Spain is a country in South America .-. Thank you US educational system, as I said before.

Also we would win every World Cup, with our team and your "SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUUUUUUUUUUUH" :D


Spain didn't make it out of group stage at the last world cup. (admittedly we didn't either, but at least we know we are shit at soccer)

I know, but it's not fair when your goalkeeper is this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laPTKpU0r0U (the last one is in the infamous 5-1 in the World Cup)

I admit he was once best goalkeeper in the world, and we won our 2010 World Cup in part due to him, but last year he wasn't the same. If Victor Valdés wasn't injured, we would have been, at least, at quarter-finals.

(This is also from October 2014, it even looks like a fake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD37W6URy60)

things are pretty similar all over the planet nowadays. even the ideological agenda discussed.

on americans. the majority of my compatriots perceive them as a wallet-bearing evil species. i must apologise for this. statistics say that 90 per cent of russians never were abroad. when someone can't see something with his own eyes, it's very likely he will believe any rubbish on the topic. and russian talking heads went mad giving it out lately.

though i don't believe in nations much (i believe more in interesting people and uninteresting people), here's a trait about americans which makes me uneasy. when an american is outlining his point of view, it always makes him a couple of inches taller, and a fistful of decibells louder. it looks like he's gonna be killed for what he says right after the last period of his speech. actually what he says is as trivial as "the pacific is the biggest ocean" but most americans i met in my life pronounced it like they poured it full themselves. this is annoying.

the girls. of course, legal emancipation is a good thing. the girls' brains are the same as the boys'. unluckily, the same thing can't be said about secretion. i'm not saying girls shouldn't have equal rights. they certainly should. but they also should realise that a right to vote won't grow them a moustache. and under the spell of equality american girls do lack those feminine charms. that's simply poor understanding of equality, when achieving of equality makes all your sex act like the other (which your sex is equal to) and trying to act masculine only puts the poor girls into additional stress, which makes the pacific even broader as far as a girl is concerned.

on the country. i never was there. travelled a bit, but never across the ocean. i would gladly rent a sailboat and make it from seattle to vancouver. the coastline there promises a very interesting trip. a friend of mine told me they have a wonderful botanic garden in frisko. i'd like to check. for my friend is rather emotional. and they all poets say one should see an autumn (mi scusi, a fall) in vermont. i like autumn in pavlovsk so much that it would be curious to compare.
