sorry, decided to give examples instead. *i had originally asked for examples of phenomena i don't think i need predicate logic notation to get that :D the reason i said phenomena-inexplicable was because there are a lot of claims made by religions that were later found to be from other natural causes. ex. in christianity: - diseases were supposed to be curses and punishments till the germ theory was discovered - creation story does not hold with modern evidence - there are contradictions between biblical incidents and historic records(bethlehem census, great flood, etc.) - the nature of heaven, hell, souls are supposed to be unanalysable - without an understanding of astronomy, there are implications that heaven was located above the clouds(angels with wings, looking down from heaven, etc.) - jesus had conducted exorcisms in the bible, they are considered silly now so, professing to be religious and accept scientific discoveries at the same time seems difficult.. "What I don't do is condescend, or paint with a brush broad enough to cover everyone in a class of humanity I seem not to have taken the time or effort to understand." there is a reason the debate _has_ to happen: - accepting religious opinions as respectable has led to a majority of americans to consider evolution as untrue. - education policies are being influenced to paint evolution as just-a-theory with undertones that it is a fringe group with a political agenda - religious people who believe in and look forward to an armageddon have been in charge of a massive number of nuclear warheads - stem cell research has been set back by almost a decade - abortion clinic doctors have been shot - the representative of god on earth has said 'child-molestation is bad, condoms are worse' - the catholic church has systematically protected child-molesters under them - the islamic world has become more extremised because the clever american government thought it would be a machiavelli move against the ussr. we know how that turned out if the result is that people think atheists are condescending, small price to pay if we can get fewer people to blow each other up because their imaginary friend says so.
