Logical syllogisms are based on faith. Therefore, all science is founded on beliefs. The only question is, what will you decide to believe in.

The OP denies the many scientific conclusions were later proven false.

um. you know what I've been discussing on the effects and damages of believing is being played out in the current administration of the USA. I mean how else are you going to convince a populace that a innocent woman who was murdered for justifiable means without using a belief based narrative. You need a belief to sell people something they should otherwise know with their own eyes didn't happen.

Not only am I referring to her as a prime example of belief in motion. But there is a great deal of other groups attempting to gain a foothold to establish their own belief narrative. There is no other explanation other than the power of believing that pin's to event's like this, where actually documented facts can be so easily dismissed. Beliefs terminate the learning process and require no more updates. I have a new term in this concept (Belief immunization) When someone believes something to the point that they are immunized from accepting any new information.

You’re listening to bad birds. She wasn’t innocent and she wasn’t murdered. The woman sought confrontation with Federal police officers, intentionally interfered with them carrying out their duties, refused to do what they legally ordered her to do, injured one officer and jeopardized the lives of other officers and fellow citizens.

No I didn't listen to anyone, I watched the live footage time and time again. Okay let me put it this way. What would Jesus do in the case of being a spiritual presence in the heart of that ICE agent?

Then you can’t have seen all of the video footage that is out there.

Scientific enquiry does begin with an assumption and then continues to verify that assumption or disprove that assumption. However belief takes the assumption as proof and terminates at that point.

I'm not getting myself dragged into believe me this or that argument with anyone here. It's not helpful and will not bring Renee Good back or comfort anyone, or prevent those events happening again.

This is where @Mattias and I disagree. Because when Jesus returns, he’ll destroy his enemies as an agent of justice, he’d take out that sword he told his Apostles to buy and arrange a meeting with the criminal and her maker in heaven - just like the ICE agent did. Thanks for asking.

I think so. I think the movie was Anchorman.
How did you know I love that movie. Christina Applegate is also in that movie and she's magnificent in it. I've loved Christina Applegate since Married with children. Totally from a artistic point of view.

I love the idea of a God or Jesus turning up. I think I want that more than most Christian's.

This is monumentally stout and not inline with the Crusader culture of Christianity.
I was thinking about what the verse "Go and make disciples" of the nation's mean. Jesus said it. I don't think he means go out and kick ass across the earth.
