Don't misunderstand me, but we all have a little problem, that hides in our DNA Structure, that introduces "Double Logic" and this contaminates our whole being.

don't be stupid, history archeology doesn't validate facts, why don't you believe in the ancient Egypt's gods and Asian's gods ? these have the same historically archeology
There really is no need to cast insults & risk further points deductions.
Your meaning regarding archeology is not entirely clear. Suffice it to say I have met a couple of archeology professors who share my faith, one of whom is a leader in his field. (I could list many other scientists who are personal friends and who share my faith such as a research mathematician (who is on ATS), a chemical engineer, a PhD physicist, hospital consultants, a cancer researcher, and on and on, but there doesn't seem much point in listing them all.)
I don't believe in those other God's because they were not able to foretell future events in exquisite detail hundreds/thousands of years in advance, left no god-like moral teachings, never entered the world in the form of a man and never demonstrated their power over death itself.
Let's not drift off topic, though.

Look at history.
Science DOES and HAS worked like that forever.
As technology and science itself moves forward we always have to erase the rules and write new ones.
I'm not say it isn't useful for practical and reproducible results but nothing is ever absolute.
Unknown variables and a lack of perfect technology are only a couple of the reasons why science is not a "perfect "science".
Preconceived notions also add to this factor because it is impossible to diagnose a situation and analyze evidence without a personal bias.
Especially when the bias concerns what does and doesn't exist or what is or isn't possible.
With this kind of bias all evidence can rationalized as inconclusive.

Well personally I think it is evident when looking at nature and life and perfect system that we have here.
Creatures literally die in order to reproduce.
I have no reason to think I will ever NOT exist.
The only reason we perceive death as an end because we can't see past it.
However the system is more perfect than we think, as time goes on science and spiritually will become one.
In fact...it has already begun...
well if you go to India,then you'll find millions of Hindu doctors that doesn't prove anything
if your god is "moral" why the bible demand that we should put homosexuals to death ?

On the contrary. It provides further evidence of my point: that spirituality and faith in God are not precluded by being a scientist. There are plenty of Muslim scientists too, incidentally. If you actually focussed on what I said rather than assuming something I did not, you would take things off topic less frequently.

You are asking theological questions more suited to another thread. A brief response is required, however. The law you refer to was an aspect of the judicial system of the Jewish nation, which included the death penalty for all Israelites who practised sexual relations outside of marriage. It was a theocracy, which God used to demonstrate the degree of his moral purity and, in this case, the seriousness of sexual immorality. This is a biblically and historically accurate explanation. It was not victimization, it was a moral standard that revealed God's standards to be higher than ours. After Christ God no longer operates via a single nation and the theocratic judicial system no longer applies. Mercy and forgiveness prevail through the Cross.

Some who read my posts might conclude differently.

Thanks for taking things back on topic. I would like to pose the question: if NDEs (as opposed to OBEs) were chemical-induced, why would they so frequently involve a meeting with God, describing a city, meeting relatives, aspects of judgement, etc., etc., even in the case of skeptics/atheists, when a chemical would be expected to produce quite random experiences in the realm of hallucinations?
I'm short of time, but hope to explore this topic further.
