How the hell did it go frpom religion to to the universe?
I see no difference.

And how do we actually know how a black hole is created?
the theories evolved from both observation of heavenly bodies and Nuclear and Fusion technology from very intelligent scientist.
quote:
Text books, researchers? Scientists? Forgive my lack of logical intellect but when did they go up there into the times of space and test and view all these theories?
A telescope is a view into the past, astronomers have been sharing data for over a hundred years now and modern astronomers are picking apart the old data and comparing it with new data to give observable conclusions as to how a system functions, Physics also adds to this
by applying it's own conclusion.

next you will be telling me some blokes from nasa really went up thjere and landed on the moon with nothing but 1mm thick aluminium foil between them and the radiation?
most space missions are carried out on the conical shadow side of the Earth, this is a known fact that by calculating the conic shadow of the earth and orbiting in it one can reduce the radiation exposer time a great deal whether there is a gamma ray burst or not.
the Apollo missions mostly orbited to the Moon inside the conical shadow of the Earth as a shield from radiation.
also, if there is not a severe sun burst(X-Ray, Gamma Rays) the astronaughts on the moon could of survived for quite some time, the time that the astronaughts went to the moon was relatively quiet as far as Sun bursts.

Or that, why anyone who believes in religion would go to a church when the very notion of a church contradicts the very idea of a 'God'
I don't quite get what is meant here so I'll pass it up.
quote:
And that, apparently, over 70% of the population believe in a God, yet strangly enough, only 20% believe in faires, or leprachauns? How odd and hypocritical is that?
I don't really know where these percentages came from but I wouldn't want anyone bible thumping on my agnostics.
quote:
And that for desert, depending on your bible studies, The Devil is actually one of God's highest ranking Archangels, and was cast out from heaven for daring to question God's future for the human race.
The word Devil is not in my belief system though I will not judge what one must call a bad entity, including human or not.
quote:
And if The Devil was cast out for questioning God's methods and reasoning, looking at the world we see before us today...who is actually more concerned with our best interests?
The devil as far as I am concerned through facts doesn't exist, it is ones own Psychological disorder that is responsiple for ones own actions and actions of others.
quote:
Whats more believable, that an almighty being exists that created everything, then for some reason, forgot we were here for a while or got fed up of us?
If this is what you believe then I will not tread upon this belief so long as mankind benifits from this opinion from a 'good' point of view.
quote:
That mankind, unable to be without purpose in life or direction, created him ourselves?
I am agnostic, my purpose in life is to fullfill my hunger for knowledge related to the facts of nature.
quote:
And then, to leave you with a brainteaser of sorts, ultimatly we all believe what we want to believe regardless of anything else. Example, what colour is my text in this post?
the color of your text is percievable by the cones and rods in the retina of your eye and then translated by your brain as a perceptual image turned right side up.
quote:
yes its black of course, but ask yoursself, how do you know its black? Then ask, how do you know abour religion, or the universe, or time travel, or anything else for that matter...
observable facts is the answer.
quote:
because somewhere at some point, whether by person, book etc, you have been told so....
I never believe everything I read or told unless it was peer reviewed by some of our most outstanding minds.
