US ambassador killed over a film

So, like beauty, contentment or love? There are many things then that are untestable, or subjective. Other "things", like Time (i.e. space-time), are so pseudo-conceptual, and yet most of us understand so little about it (e.g. CPT symmetry violations by quantum particles).

Our strength is the rationality of science with the human capacity for imagination. I'd say the two aspects are what make us human.

Believing in a god probably happens because of natural (scientific) causes but that doesn't make the existence of a god true.
Things like beauty, love and contentment all have biological reasons.

There are (natural) scientists who believe in god, but almost all of these have been raised in religious families. The percentage of all natural scientists who started believing in god out of their own free will is likely far below 1 %.

Being raised in a religious family really plays with your brain and no matter how intelligent you are not every person is strong enough to get rid of that.
The reason why religion keeps being strong in a always more modern society is the one mentioned above, plus the fact that birth rates are high in many religious countries.

Religion and science cannot be combined unlike what religious scientists will tell you. There is no real reason imaginable why what is written in bible, quran or any other book should be real.
