That is why they are called "theories", albeit pretty well backed up by maths and observations. Quantum theory is a superb example.
So why are religions not called "theories" also?

@Petter Yes it should be called, mere theory, lifestyle, etc. But that's not the point here. Though religion used to play a negative role at certain time, but now I see wokism & communism as present day facist & fundamentalist cult where there is no place for unbelievers.

Even though I'm an atheist, but these days I see Western conservatives making more sense than wokes on most of the issues except their claims for god & christianity. I guess you know that a lot of skeptics/atheists/progressives are in conservative/right wing bloc now despite having some disagreements.

I see that problem has never been religion, but pervert minded & selfish humans.

The same link now points to a new story. Very annoying.

No "big bang" means one helluva gang bang session.

I know. They have had some acrimonious disaccords with the mainstream church over the centuries.

Nor are they generally Catholic. Southern Bapist is the majority denomination.

Yep, the No True Scotsman fallacy.

This may amuse.

Many Evangelicals declare that Catholics are not even Christian. LOL

Wrong. Catholics view the Bible allegorically, to one degree or another, not literally.

@Storm1752 Was Jesus allegorical? And Moses? And when Jesus mentioned Adam in the same passage with Moses, one was allegorical and the other not, or both were? Or one picks and chooses what to believe? Is that what they mean when they talk about a cafeteria catholic? Kind of confusing for absolute Truth...

Pearl has the correct link at the bottom of this page for the seven year old news.

Speaking of a golden oldie:

Yea verily I say unto thee he who is without baseball should throw the first rock at that other stick-rock game.

Then there's over three hours for eleven minutes of run-rock, throw-rock, stop-rock, stop-clock.

@waitingforgodo They have cricket clubs in the states. My dad kept a cricket bat in his car for protection. Baseball bat works better. I saw nothing about the Pope.

@barjoe then bless ed art thou amongst bartenders and bless ed is the fruit in the cocktail of thy contributions here at tea in the cricket and in all the games we enjoy like those american ones which are pretty good but can't hold a roman candle to a game that lasts five days without a fresult..

I agree that test cricket can drag a bit but compared to American football and baseball it is quite exciting.

@Moravian, @waitingforgodo What does the link have to do with Pope Francis and the Big Bang Theory? Excuse me for actually reading the link, or at least making an attempt.

Yes, they do. I saw a story that said a large number of Evan Priests are realizing their culpability in creating treason and changing their sermons to a kinder, gentler, version of gospel. They claim the flock has been getting the wrong message so it's their fault.
