It all starts with human beings
To increase production food and etc they use chemicals, this chemical are produced by the humans who are controlling this big pharm which leads and control the controlled human to eat the products which has chemicals, in time this build up of toxic in the body leads to disease illness which then we buy medicine from this big pharm pumping in more chemicals creating more illness requiring more high dosage of higher priced medicine the circle keeps going round and round- so yeah science is right to an extent who controls science

You may pray and scream at deaf heaven all you want...you should have faith that medicine can at least treat you..no guarantees of success every time, but I'll always take my chances with science over mumbo jumbo any day. ?????

More than half of our tax dollars goes into WMD and the Military. All the Federal Government Officials and State Municipalities have Health Insurance which we pay for and most are derived of. Rings of Socialism that the Politicians rant about as an excuse to deny what every other civilized nation in the World holds as a most prominent part of any form of Government. Now at the expense of Mankind is the need to test out the performance of these wonderful WMD's which has been Viet Nam, Iraq, and now Syria. Religion brought you the Crusades, the Inquisition and the Holocaust of the American Indians whom were placed on Reservations to fade away. Prayers and Thoughts from the NRA and their Political Benefactors. The Opiods fatalities are another.
Lots more to relate too but I wanted to supplement your post.

Here here! Nice article!

Bravo!!!

Nicely put... i remember writing something similar to this last Year. I remember reading something similar to this a bunch of times from our members. You should if been here in August of last year. Thats pretty much all we talked about. Who knows what and the facts to why the bible is bullshit.

There are still hunger gatherer communities in the world as well as various subsistence farming communities and fundamentalist religious groups.

Do we drag them all kicking and screaming into the 21st century and risk doing the same harm the missionaries of old did to many indigenous peoples or allow each group to evolve in their own time? I guess we need to apply some science to examine that question...

Unfortunately the huge black fly in the ointment now is capitalism.

The profit motive drives iatrogenisis, which is the third leading cause of death in the US. It also has an impact on other countries too.

Big Pharma charges a fortune for pharmaceuticals - because it can. Subsequently many people go without the medicine they need.

This is proof that our medical system is only interested in making money, not helping people.

If you add logic and critical thinking to scientific methodology you'll be a lot better off than any wishful thinking would ever get you

It's not only that we know it works, but that we can prove it works again and again.

Being an atheist and scientific researcher, I have a very strong feelings that without religion our society or world can not exist for a minute. It's not that there is a fight between science and religion. That era is gone! Science has won that race. But that's not all my friend.
It is almost impossible to demand your society to be rational and materialistic. In a bigger picture Life has no meaning. We all try to put some meaning into it in different ways. You convince or fool yourself with those hypothetical meaning. How do you calm down a bigger mass? There is no answer apart from religion even knowing that it is complete bullshit

George Carlin: So I've been praying to Joe for about a year now. And I noticed something. I noticed that all the prayers I used to offer to God, and all the prayers I now offer to Joe Pesci, are being answered at about the same 50% rate. Half the time I get what I want, half the time I don't. Same as God, 50-50. Same as the four-leaf clover and the horseshoe, the wishing well and the rabbit's foot, same as the Mojo Man, same as the Voodoo Lady who tells you your fortune by squeezing the goat's testicles, it's all the same: 50-50. So just pick your superstition, sit back, make a wish, and enjoy yourself.

D'you honestly think Harry Potter fans think magic is real? O.o

Science figures things out. Religion makes things up.

Excellent post, I fully agree.
