The fact that famous scientists have been devoutly religious, the fact that the Catholic Church was instrumental in the development of science, escapes Chief Theologian Carolla. Perhaps if he did some studying and less carpet cleaning, he might know a couple of things.
Any scientist that was "devoutly" religious (certainly hyperbole on your part) is undoubtedly just a manifestation of Pascal's Wager. Yes, a lot of scientific discovery was done by Christians- centuries ago- simply because nobody else was available to do the job. Easily squared when you consider the Catholic Church's dominance in socioeconomic and political power. Check out this article from Sam Harris where he excoriates Francis Collins' ridiculous attempt at marrying science to religion: samharris.org/the-strange-case-of-francis-collins/
I had never heard the morning after pill mentioned before I started listening to this show and I haven't ever heard it mentioned since I stopped listening (when Adam left, of course). No one has ever been as right as he was during this rant.
also, the bible isn't against sex.... but everyone that says that hasn't actually read it. or maybe they did and spun it to fit their incorrect opinions about christians
I'm atheist, but to be fair, most of the ground breaking scientists that opened the door for others to follow were religious. Copernicus was definitely a devout Christian. It's important to note that most intelligent people are able to separate science from their religion. My father was not a scientist, yet was able to separate his religious beliefs from what he loved, which was astronomy and physics. He knew the Earth wasn't 6,000 years old.
Adam is my spirit animal. What religion is Clinton? Lol no one is more real and down to earth than Adam Carolla. He’s just for what makes sense and has been for 25 years.
Adam and mike are completely different! Personally I prefer the show now with psycho mike also, I really liked Adam back in the times, but psychotic michael is definitely more relevant to the loveliness purpose
This and Richard Dawkins' "An Atheist's Call to Arms" are my favorite... diatribes? about religion. Two very different approaches but effective in their own right.
