Props for making me give up beforre I started.

props for using that as a cop out instead of admitting you have no idea. some old geezer probably told you that and you believed it.

you use a name you figured nobody knew nothing about. I just revealed it.

the days of the week are named after norse gods. freida is the god of beauty so we tribute her on Friday which is coincidently the day we get off for partying or whatever. Moday is named after the moon and more specifically the full moon phase, which represents new beginnings, which is when we start the week. Saturday is a day to wake up late and laze around as if we were watching the skies. Thor is thursday, but it has no specific attribute to it. Woden is Wednesday, which is in the middle of the week, time to plan ahead for the weekend or start thinking about it. Oden was the god of wisdom and thought. Tuesday is Tius, and im not completely sure who Tius was but ill research it later. anyway, these were viking gods, and they still exist in the English language to this day. Religion is embedded in the very words we are now speaking.

Sounds a lot like science.

its not like science because science starts with a hypothesis, which is statement that can be proven right or wrong through experimentation, observation or whatever. religion on the other hand cannot be proven wrong regardless of how much logic and evidence you stack up against it, because people believe whatever the hell they want. and yes, scientist have been wrong, but thats actually a strength of science, not a weakness.

Like I said, it sounds a lot like science.

The origin of religion is based deep in paleohistory when mankind had a need to explain the things around him and he had no ability to do so, so as a coping mechanism to a hard and short life, he created myths to explain everything around him and to make life better and more explainable.

The universe's existence, the Holy Bible existence, the existence of good and bad, etc.

The facts are avail, it's just how does a person put them together

You mean the bible that says a god created the universe in 6 days? the same bible that says people lived to be over 600 years old? The same bible that has talking animals and people walking on water and coming back from the grave? You mean the same bible that says the world is only approx. 6,000 years old?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but those aren't facts, those are more like fairy tales.

Good and bad are subjective, not facts.
