Can anyone tell me why life expectancy rates have doubled since ancient times? I can't quite put my finger on it. I am well aware that the ancient remedies are just as good as the junk we have today. So what else could it be?
Luck? Probably just dumb luck.

Brilliant satire....!

Yet... in your near-total hypocrisy?
You are quite happy to write on a COMPUTER that owes it's existence to the scientific method!
Or do you pretend that computer engineers got the knowledge of how to make computers by ... praying?
<laughing>
You are such a hypocrite-- but that goes without saying, if you are also a believer in god-myths.
Doesn't it?
Tell us: do you take drugs created by the scientific method?
Or do you just pray about it?
<laughing harder>

You're the hypocrite considering you live on an Earth created by Brahma and yet you don't believe in him. What proof do I have that the Earth was created by Brahma? As much proof as you have that computers were created by scientists.

No, I don't take drugs (unless you count coca leaves in the drug category). Anyway coca leaves weren't created by science. Similarly I don't pray. I prefer things that work and that's my main beef against science.

What do you do with a sheep hearder with a compound leg fracture festering with infection? Simple. You just tie the broken bones up in a bundle and slap a little honey on it. Good as new...he should be back to rounding up the heard in a few days.
It's a lot better than getting screws put in your bones...that's a nightmare at airports. If you can't fix it with honey...it doesn't need fixin.

What do you do with an imbecile who cannot even spell a simple word like "herder." Ship him to Florida where he will blend in with the other mental midgets resulting from government education.

How do you know what the life expectancy was in ancient times?

Computers are assembled by engineers using information learned by science. The fact remains that without the science you disdain so much there would be no computers and you most likely would not even be alive.

I'll wait for your proof of this "brahma" thing--

-- likely right after you come down from your cocaine high.

I guess that answers my first question.

Yeah....... wow.

I love the irony of "I prefer things that work" statement myself....

... written on a science-based computer ...

... using a science-based keyboard software ...

... on a media (the internet) that could not even exist without...

... basic science.

Wow indeed.

# bullshįt and so what scientists can believe whatever as long as they have proof they are comfortable. If they are true scientists then they need proof for themselves that why if scientists cant find proof for god then they just don't believe and are atheists. Boom I ended this conversation with truth trust me I'm a scientist

Seriously

Some kind of proof would be nice, don't you think?

Personally I classify your statement in with those who say that were it not for Vishnu the universe wouldn't even exist. It's a nice statement, and you probably believe it devoutly but there isn't any reason to believe it for most people.

You don't seem to get it. Might I offer you a remedial reading comprehension class?

The point of Brahma is to point out that anyone can make wild-eyed claims with no proof. What's the difference between someone saying I owe Zeus heavily for creating the electricity that makes my computer run and someone saying I owe science heavily for the electricity that makes my computer run? NOTHING.

I see.
From http://www.nacionalte.com/matedecoca_en.htm
" It is commonly known that the use of coca leaves helps balance the biological instability that produces fatigue and stress, fights climatic aggressions (cold and altitude).
World-wide Health organizations in several occasions have presented/displayed Information on the use of coca leaves. For example, the medicine book published by the OMS in 1985 says that “when speaking of coca plants it is necessary to emphasize that it has great benefits and analgesic, tranquilizing, astringents, anti-flatulence, digestive properties, it’s a blood stream cleaning agent, a diuretic and respiratory stimulator.”

Coca tea leaves does not have exciting or intoxicating action. This is why its daily use is recommended as a preventive and curative product, to take in the mornings, afternoons or [at] night."

Proof? Or is that a concept that's beyond your ken?

It amazes me that you deny Allah while standing on the Earth he created, under the sun he created, eating the food he created, drinking the water he created, etc., etc.
