David;
I have moved your post to its own thread to allow me to answer your questions without further disruption of the Motion thread with such off topic posts.

Why actually are you so against belief?

I am not against peoples belief systems unless those systems impose on the rights of others. Posting religious beliefs in a science forum is violating my rights and is simply RUDE. Posting off topic posts in a members thread is also a violation of that members rights and simply RUDE. Even though I am an atheist I do not impose or promote that belief system on others and expect the same from them. Can you say the same for Christians, Moslems, Jewish, or most other religions? Many people require such philosophies to instill right and wrong in people of a society and others simply use them to instill fear and control. Governments do not need sub-governments within them!

Another thing... Most of the people on this planet believe in a deity or are religious or at least believe in something. Imagine science would prove that there is no deity and there is no hereafter for example. Do you think it would be a good idea to prove that?

By all means if proof exists it would be extremely important to release such information. Do I think it would make a difference with the believers? –NO.

Is science your god??

I is a philosophy of analytical methodology I accept to determine truth. That does not mean there are not those who are misusing it or attempting to discredit it. These are the people I object to most; ignorant and stupidity have no place in any field of science. Calling a religion science is oxymoronic.

I think as long as humanity has emotions, humanity will have god(s). And why wouldn't we? The fact that we have them does not prove their existence nor do they prove the falsity of them/him.

That’s why we developed science; to separate fact from fiction!

BTW: My apologies for the type-O misspelling of your name.
