Science Still Precludes the Possibility of God

I told myself that the next post I made would be a positive one.  I spend much of my time being negative and it can sometimes bum me out.  But every time I think about something important enough to express, it tends to be a rant rather than an accolade.  As a result I have passed by many opportunities to write, but not this time.

In the past I have spent, and still can spend far too much time watching television.  Recently I have enjoyed a trend of watching educational or religious programming rather than less constructive shows.  However, I have noticed a nagging trend that is becoming quite prominent, especially on the Discovery Channel and the Science Channel.  That is, of course, that scientists and/or atheists are continuing, and even stepping up, their campaign to convince a good portion of people on the planet Earth just how mistaken they all are.

Exactly what portion is it?  The portion of us that are religious, that is.  Well, there is no practical way to ever know exactly.  Many have speculated over the years.  Some site remarkably high examples and yet others are much more conservative.  There are many polls and studies on just this subject matter and a search of Google yields millions of results.  Atheist sites claim that as many as 50% of the world are atheist or at least agnostic.  While yet others say that the number of religious, or at least those that believe in some sort of God or higher power are much higher.  The claims are in the area of 70%-85% of the world population.  In the US the numbers are claimed to be even higher, in the area of 90%-95%, many of those being some form of Christian.

What really bothers me is that these programs are intentionally and extremely deceptive.  I'd even go as far as saying that many of them are just plain evil!  They deliberately brand programming ads and titles to appear to truly ask relevant questions about a universal spirit, higher form of existence, historical prophets or the history of the Bible.  But when you go ahead and watch, you instead find that it is actually a completely one sided study about disproving all of these things.  Sure they keep throwing you a bone insinuating the information shows both sides of the story, especially right before each commercial break, but then they come back to continue showing us just how uninformed and wrong we all are.  They show us weak evidence that specific stories in the Bible couldn't have been real historical events.  Or now, Morgan Freeman, who ironically chose to play the character of God in the movies "Bruce Almighty" and "Evan Almighty," with his new show that does the very same thing.  His ads and shows claim to delve into the creation of the universe and God, but what it really does is show us in many different ways the opinion of how science has supposedly proven the likelihood of God existing as being slim to none.

Of course, science freely admits that we are learning new things every day and proving previously theories highly accepted to be true as wrong.  But there is no hard evidence that God or Heaven do not exist.  No evidence that says unequivocally that Jesus did not walk on this Earth, perform miracles and died for all our sins should we choose to accept that gift.  In fact, a renowned scientist Carl Sagan said how it is arrogant for hard atheists to assert that Goes does not exist, as the statement is by definition a belief and not a fact.  They are making a claim of knowledge when, in fact, they have no proof whatsoever.

Science and religion are supposedly not supposed to fight each other and yet they seem to always take up absolute and opposing positions.  Yet in spite of the fact that so many do believe in one form or another, it would seem that everyone creating television programs and programming are all somehow atheistic by nature.  I guess it is high time for me to throw away my Morgan Freeman movies, remove offending TV channels from my favorites list and read my Bible a little more!
