Yet you claimed: Two things we could never touch or learn how to control.Appearances are deceiving. Right now you can't touch dark matter or the higgs... that is truth in the present not future.
Maybe you just have difficulties with English...

They're not like the Holy Wars of the 16th century, when all the Christians in Europe were trying to kill each other over arcana that the rest of us can't even understand. Today's holy wars have multiple causes, but the sides are aligned by religion and religion is one of the major causes.Do you really believe that current wars are religious wars?
But at least the work of the scientists also provides benefits to mankind. Sometimes I think the only thing religion--especially the Abrahamic varieties--does for mankind is to reinforce his Stone Age tribal instinct and encourage him to notice the differences between him and his brothers rather than the many things they have in common.They are wars over resources. And scientists are helping them to kill a lot more people than they would do otherwise.
One of my main objections is that he is not much of an authority on religious people. I'm sorry I can't dredge up the details after two or three years, but he once made a categorical statement about the way Christians "have always" treated other people that was complete bullshit and incredibly insulting. It's no wonder Christians hate him.My biggest objection to Dawkins is that he poses as some kind of authority on "religion", has written several rather sophomoric books on it and teaches something related at Oxford, when in reality he's a complete layman who's largely ignorant of the deeper subtleties of the subject. I don't believe that he's ever sat through a university religion class or done very much serious and extended study of it.
You're getting too accustomed to hanging around with atheists who are scientists or scientist wannabees here on SciForums. Not all atheists have scientific training, and not all understand the scientific method, much less go around enforcing it.Atheists are by definition prejudiced against religious claims, because those claims are unjustified by evidence.

Ah, so you do have problems with English.Have you composed a strawman?
False.Thanks for reinstating my point of nothing profound coming from theses machines that detect subatomic particles.
Nope.So your standpoint on the issue is no matter how big, small, quick, shortly lived, or monstrous the particle or whatever dark matter is we will strive for thousands of years to detect them all.
My position isn't in question. It's your statement that we will never be able to see/ touch/ make use of dark matter or the Higgs that's under contention.You have problems revealing your position.
My position isn't in question.
Balls. You don't know.I know because I know one thing that can not lie.
Arrant nonsense.Nature itself would not lie to us if it were all in the same place. All the natural pure Elements placed side by side confined yet connected to the universe in a way no human could understand.
Ooh, and a meaningless quote too.“Whoever knows he is deep, strives for clarity; whoever would like to appear deep to the crowd, strives for obscurity. For the crowd considers anything deep if only it cannot see to the bottom: the crowd is so timid and afraid of going into the water.”-Nietzsche
Hard to tell. He seems to be striving for obscurity.In a nutshell, what is it that you are trying to say?
