WMF. There exist a great deal which will never be explained by science given its finite nature. What are we supposed to do with it? Ignore it? Deny its existence?

Is it just me or has this site become a Believer/Atheist warzone?
by BU2B ini enjoy the odd thread about evoloution vs creation, etc but lately it seems that a large percentage of threads here devolve into fighting between atheists and theists and distract from what most of us here see eye to eye on, the wt and related things.
i wish things could be more civil here and fr people to realize that people will never see eye to eye on the topic.
it gets so tiring to see the contstant bickring and fighting on those threads.. they seem to go on page after page but very little of substance is discussed seeing as the existence or non existence of a god can be proven by anyone.

OK A challenge for the show-me-the-evidence atheist. Science is a finite body of knowledge. As a process of discovery, it is limited by building off that body of knowledge.
If the universe is infinite, how are we supposed to explore its infinite nature? Are we supposed to ignore it? Deny its existence?

It is pretty presumptous to tell someone what they can discuss if it isn't rude or obscene.

Can anyone explain love?
by mrhhome inwe have had a variety of theist vs atheist debates on this forum.
usually, it devolves (or evolves?
) into a debate on what can or cannot be proven.. so let's step back a second.

So let's step back a second. Hypothethically, Christians worship a God of love. The great commandmant is "Love God. Love your neighbor." If we want to understand God, shouldn't we be trying to understand "love"?
What is it? Why does it exist?

To answer the original question, I have to agree with those who believe that the theist vs atheist debates are healthy. It is good for a doubting JW to see communities where people can openly disagree without being shunned. It is also good for those who have just left the organization to have a healthy debate as they figure out what they really believe.
The name calling and insults are not healthy. It re-enforces the belief that non-JW hate JW and anyone else who believes in God. Generally speaking, it seems that the name calling seems to come from the atheists.

As much as I think that agnostic is a legitimate label, could someone who is a agnostic provide a definition?

(1) I believe in a God that is beyond comprehension. The universe is infinite, and we are finite. Consequently, we can only comprehend God and his universe symbolically.
(2) The Bible is a collection of stories about our relationship with God and each other. While it may have been written by man, it has plenty of wisdom and real spiritual power. It is not intended to be a history or science text.
(3) Given (1), anyone who attempts to take a literal view of the Bible or insist on a narrow and strict interpretation of doctrine will get themselves and anyone listening to them wrapped around the axle.
(4) When I was younger, I used to think that mystics were a bunch of dangerous freaks who strayed from scripture. With age, I realize that they may be some of the only ones really seeking God. [Take note that I did not say doing God's work.]
