Why We Discourage Religion topics on the Advanced Cosmology And Physics group (Facebook)

This blog is dedicated to Facebook cosmology moderated group. If you are reading this. You belong to that group I think.

I know many of you are upset about certain rules, one of the rules is " no religion". Before I go onto explaining the reason for this particular rule. I want to let you know I am a religious person. I believe in God and I believe he's the creator. Yet in the cosmology group, I will remove and sometimes I will ban anybody that starts a thread about religion just as my fellow moderators would do. The fact that I'm writing about this now in a Blog and not inside the group per se should demonstrate my point.

I have you know that about two decades or more I have participated in a theological debate about creation and evolution. Just do a search on Talk.origins / Jabriol. That being said, I do have a background in science, and I constantly return to college to keep my knowledge and skills updated. It is my personal experience on Usenet that motivates me not to talk about religion in a science-based group such as cosmology.

My personal reason is, even though the conversation may commence objective, it rapidly starts to degrade. The first few Interactive conversation will be factual and it will expose certain points of view, some of the views are valid some are not. The saddest part in every single thread about science and religion are... the ad hominem attacks, these attacks are more than funny replies or remarks. They are degrading, demeaning, and in the end, serves no purpose to advance the argument in the Cosmology group.

The threads on science versus religion, especially those of the Christian religion, can be extremely long and repetitive. I myself have found without realizing it, attacking other people and demeaning them and degrading them because of their remarks and comments that are opposed to mine, and this happens to almost everyone. We are humans, we have our emotions and our passions and our personal beliefs, however, "Cosmology" is a specific topic group for our enjoyment and education, the moderation team would like to keep it that way. There are many facebook group that allowed and promote science versus religion topics. If you wish to debate religion and science, just join those groups and party on. However, if you start a religious thread on purpose In the Cosmology moderated you will be removed and banned.

Hi my name is Tony and I am a..... well many of you know already.

    Read and agreed - everyone has a differing opinion of religion, theology and a creator but science is indisputable.

The Siege of Eternity by Frederik Pohl My rating: 2 of 5 stars This book continues the Eschaton series, yeah you going to see that in the header. There really isn't much to say in this second book. All we know that two civilization is at war and the earth is just one of many civilizations where it has been targeted for assimilation to the "Beloved Leaders" empire. the interesting part is thru out the series is the Eschaton. I decided to look it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_time At least 2 advanced races/species are fighting to see who will rule... eternity. Frederick Pohl apparently believed in the Big Crunch theory and expressed his concept in this series the advanced species have given religion to the subjected races or species the other side's beliefs are not so credible. Their religion is very similar to Human beliefs of an afterlife which are present in the majority of cultures on our planet. In the end, the winning species and their allies or subject...

Echo of worlds

Echo of Worlds by M.R. Carey My rating: 2 of 5 stars M.R. Carey's "Echo of Worlds" serves as a powerful and satisfying conclusion to his "Pandominion" duology, following the intriguing setup of "Infinity Gate." While the author's broader works certainly explore diverse realms, this novel masterfully ties together the threads of this particular multiversal conflict. The story immediately plunges readers into an epic war across countless dimensions.
