    No matter what country you live in there is always something that you can do. I live in the United States and the number of people who find something better to do than vote is embarrassing. So a couple percent of the people have 90% of the money. Our health insurance industry is a fraud, and the greed of the pharmaceutical industry is almost totally unchecked. I could go on and on and on, but it boils down to the fact that people are too lazy to vote their own interests. Not to mention the fact that we have a self-serving mentally ill orange-haired orangutang as a president. We could do so much more for the oppressed people around the world if we just got our own house in order. So I'm not going to tell someone in Saudi Arabia to stand up and be counted/murdered.

    (I wish to stress that i am an atheist and both a student and lover of science and reason/rationality) I agree with you but i don't think that science can only do good things, as a matter of fact it can do some remarkably terrible things. For example, science has, undeniably had a a huge impact on human conflicts and it is what empowered humans to be able to kill eachother incredibly fast, in fact, science also gave us the opportunity to destroy all of our species and the entire planet through nuclear/atomic bombs (hence the cold war), even though they were only used twice (Hiroshima, Nagasaki.1945) during warfare, the point is that science can help us do some pretty terrible things. There is also a futuristic horrifying aspect of science (besides nuclear bombs), which is of course, AI/Automation. Automation is of course not a new thing and advanced societies literally exist because of automation, which started on a mass scale during the industrial revolution but had existed prior to that for a very long time. Now, when it comes to AI we have to ask ourselves - what will happen when AI becomes more intelligent than humans - personally i don't think we're very far from that, i think in about 50 years or so, AI will be able to outperform humans at virtually everything, so how is society going to work when humans will not need to go to work because there is always going to be an artifficial form that is not only more intellectually competent but also physically. I wonder what purpose humans will have in life when they have virtually no value, at least certainly no economic value; maybe what's going to happen is that every human will be given a specific amount of money (though it's unlikely that money in the contemporary sense will exist in over 5 decades) with which they can buy most likely a lot of things considering that AI will be able to work really professionaly and really fast. So, if that's what's going to happen then i still don't see what purpose we would have, because if we have our entire lives just to ourselves, to do anything we want to do and for as long as we wish, then what's the purpose of life ? I can keep going but i think i've been philosophical enough already.

    Atheistic types go by blind faith. I go by faith in the evidence. Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing." Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We can't get anything from "literally nothing." We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God. God is the reason for us and all we have. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fJ2B09yHj7y5iLg.html “However improbable the origin of life might be, we know it happened on Earth because we are here.” -Richard Dawkins.

The letter will transform itself to the reader, if the reader understands one simple thing, that the pen of which it was writen with, is indeed, that of the Holy Spirit, the words writen are of God, and the paper on which the words are writen, are in the heart of the beleiver.

    The hypothesis - acknowledgement "step" is one of the fundamental methods of science. One make a hypothesis in a given field, then use the imagination and experiments too work out a theory about what could possible and then plan an inquiry too study if the given hypothesis is true or false. The way to do that is very simple. You don't test if your hypothesis is true. You test if your hypothesis is false, and if it is false then it's back too the drawing board.

The only place those things exist are in our thoughts. Of course they are used to describe something tangible and real, it's simply not tangible itself, like language. Many things we take for granted are not some property we found in the fabric of the universe, but a useful exploit, hack, trick to navigate, comprehend, predict it.
