The Axiom is what science is founded on
..., just as religion.
The difference between science and religion is the same as with a woman and a man.
The man refuses to acknowledge the woman is correct.
Love is were we make progress.
The woman already loves the man.
This is why the woman is right.
Reason lacks perspective from bias.
Religion embraces science.
Science uses religion as its fundamental source as its genesis.
The Holy Spirit is what science denies.
She is the mother in the Trinity.

That's a good description. Consider this: The fruit of knowledge is technology based on transmutation of the elements. Man took God's perfect creation for his own use apart from remembering the main law. The will to give and receive must be observed. Mankind became a thief with the will only to take from God. God would have given it to us as a gift and allowed us to create over time.
No. I'm not aware of an axiom, set of axioms or anything based on axioms that would prove the existence of God.
Religion is organized giving. A person can give and receive apart from going to church, but fellowship is part of love. Science is necessary for the extrovert to validate his inner nature. The introvert needs religion to validate what he fears on the outside. The universe is geared toward two becoming one. Religion is the female and Science is the male. Read the article linked in my signature on why science and religion are at odds. It may make more sense why one needs the other. They are the same faith, approaching at opposite ends of the inverse square.
Science examines the spread of light and traces it back toward the source by measurement. Religion catches the light on a screen, knowing the source by relationship. One is concrete and the other abstract. Language is the same. Hebrew is concrete and Greek is abstract. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew and 24 in Greek. That's 46. There are 46 chromosomes that are comprised of 22 pairs and 2 sex chromosomes. They come together in sets and the two become one. The mind is put together in the process in such a way to reflect the same pairing of concrete and abstract, evidenced by the two sides of the brain. A person is further mirrored by this reasoning into soul and spirit. The two must come together and agree for dissonance to be resolved. Science and Religion are simply comparisons by lesser and greater cases. What is true for the lesser case is true for the greater. As above, so below. We are a reflection of the macrocosm by the reflection of our microcosm. What is true for us is true above in the cosmos. Science can help us understand the parallel. Religion tells us why.
If you want to get right down to it. Hate/forsake the world and the things in it, possessions, career, ambitions, worldly relationships, hobbies, repent of your wicked ways, and follow Jesus.
Originally posted by EnochWasRightGod intended the "World" to be enjoyed and admired. We are to love God's work. The "World" mentioned in your comparison is not wicked unless we are on the wrong side of God's will. This is the lesson to be learned from Abraham. Before he was Abraham, he was Abram. The H in his name is the Hebrew Hey. It means, "Behold a great work." It is the proto-Canaanite letter that is the pictograph of a man with his arms outstretched.

The 'world' I mentioned are all things man-made (industrialization, city building, agriculture, economy, houses, cars, hobbies, recreation, careers, entertainment, etc) which is in the same context Jesus is referring to in his warnings.
Jesus said nothing good about it and not to be enjoyed. In fact, it is to be hated and abandoned. It is the system that has ravaged most of God's handiwork and is causing misery and oppression to a lot of people (billions), and trillions more to animals and plants.
Jesus did not even encouraged anyone to be part of this 'world' even for his sake and the poor. The amount of money you can give doesn't matter to him, it's irrelevant, but how much of yourself you are giving is infinitely more important. "Those who lose their life for my sake will keep it"
Also to clear myself, I don't trust the Bible to be the infallible word of Truth in it's entirety. There is truth in it, but not all. There's multiple Gods in the Bible who are different from each other. I only trust the one Jesus calls Father.
The Holy Spirit (Spirit of Truth) is the guide to the truth, not the Bible, not your pastor. Although the Gospel of Jesus served as the key in the Bible in unlocking the truth. Our responsibility as Christians should be to plant a seed of truth in others which will grow in them through the Holy Spirit. We are all brothers and sisters in our faith and Jesus is our leader. This is what Jesus teaches from the Bible.

Jesus speaks of the ideal to fulfill the law. The sermon on the mount is what it takes to do what HE did. Not what we can do. We CANNOT do this. He showed a bar that was high according to his task. We bear his cup with HIM. He is the one that does the part of salvation FOR us. The world you are envisioning is coming. Technology will be a fruit that gives.

Axioms have no proofs. That's what I said (you said / she said) earlier. No proof, simply evident. God is evident in all things above and below.
Read the quote below:

The introvert needs religion to validate what he fears on the outside.

Even the 6 days of creation are evident from the axioms of science. Religion needs science to see it clearly. Science needs religion to tell us why.

The two must come together and agree for dissonance to be resolved.
Also, consider what Augustin said in City of God:
"And yet the validity of logical sequences is not a thing devised by men, but is observed and noted by them that they may be able to learn and teach it; for it exists eternally in the reason of things, and has its origin with God. For as the man who narrates the order of events does not himself create that order; and as he who describes the situations of places, or the natures of animals, or roots, or minerals, does not describe arrangements of man; and as he who points out the stars and their movements does not point out anything that he himself or any other man has ordained;—in the same way, he who says, “When the consequent is false, the antecedent must also be false,” says what is most true; but he does not himself make it so, he only points out that it is so."

...it adds no value to this conversation.
"The model of human prehistory built-up by scholars over the past two centuries is sadly and completely wrong, and a deliberate tool of disinformation and mind control. ...they demonstrate a systematic destruction of proofs that show another reality than that the official story. Falsifications and even destruction of such proofs has been common for more than two hundred years." LINK
“the biggest cover-up in the history of mankind is the history of mankind itself”
The most important part I'd like you to answer on, if you don't answer to my objections is that you have previously said that both science and religion is founded on axioms.
Could you please elaborate on the religion part and explain how axioms lead to the evident being of God?

Incorrect. Science is not dependent on "why".
Some people turn to religion when things don't seem to make any sense, though.

Sure. An axiom is a belief based on what is evident from what can be observed. From the standpoint of the Bible, we are speaking of a view that predates science by millennial.
For the Bible to be true, any aspect that is related to the Creation of the quantum mechanical universe must dictate the laws of physics, the property of light and the mechanics of wave function as seen by the curvature of time and space.
The differences between Euclidean and Non-Euclidean geometry are axioms that demonstrate a great deal of dissonance between other areas of mathematics.
Philosophy is needed to grasp the implications of knowledge from one dimension to the other.
Mathematics is shown to be lacking as an axiomatic standard because every proof in one dimension has an exception in the dimension above.
Straight lines are observed, but curved space is reality.
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, but only by context.
From a Bible standpoint, the Word of God has continued to demonstrate that our own misconceptions and changing axioms of science demonstrate that science is coming closer to what is recorded in scripture, not the other way around. One is ever-changing and the other is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
For instance, when did we discover that reality was made up of light quanta projected by dimension in the form of Time, Space, Matter and Energy?
Genesis 1:1
In the Beginning (Time), God created the heavens (Space) and the earth (Matter). Let there be light (Energy).
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning —the first day.
And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.
[snip] And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.
Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds. ” And it was so.
And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.

Didn't we agree that axioms are evident? That they just are? There isn't much to believe, is there?
God, on the other hand, must be believed in "to be true".
It is natural that Religion came before "science". It is part of human nature to find answers. That combined with living in a dangerous world (predators & hostile tribes), when scary things like earth-quakes, lightning, the "blessing" of rain and the warmth of the sun doesn't make it hard to believe that man becomes grateful of these powers and wishes not to upset them.
Second, it takes intellect, information, observations and TIME to do science. Back in the day, you also had more important things to do than spend your time on science.
So, it's not strange that Religion preceded Science. And Religion is still founded on belief, not axioms.
For the Bible to be true, any aspect that is related to the Creation of the quantum mechanical universe must dictate the laws of physics, the property of light and the mechanics of wave function as seen by the curvature of time and space.
Your word, not mine. I wouldn't mind if God told me that the Bible is true but that the content is a bit iffy, but that it doesn't matter because all I need to do is to accept what it says and live by it to be saved. To me, that'd still make the bible "true".
The differences between Euclidean and Non-Euclidean geometry are axioms that demonstrate a great deal of dissonance between other areas of mathematics.
What? Could you give me an example or two on what the dissonance/problem is?
You do realize that geometry is used to describe....geometry. And these two describe relationships between different kinds of geometrical shapes?
These mathematical ideas were accepted first after the postulates were proven to be sound logic. In other words, based on earlier mathematics.
Philosophy is needed to grasp the implications of knowledge from one dimension to the other.
No it's not.
Mathematics is shown to be lacking as an axiomatic standard because every proof in one dimension has an exception in the dimension above.
That is not correct. I assume that you're not lying, so please provide an example. I feel that perhaps you are suggesting something else altogether?
Straight lines are observed, but curved space is reality.
Wrong. Straight lines can appear to be curved. Even light.
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, but only by context.
You do realize that you just made a statement out of context?
From a Bible standpoint, the Word of God has continued to demonstrate that our own misconceptions and changing axioms of science demonstrate that science is coming closer to what is recorded in scripture, not the other way around. One is ever-changing and the other is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Changing axioms of science? You shouldn't mix axioms with theories.
The people who wrote the scriptures in the bible are not very much unlike yourself. Their own view.
Not only that, the NT was assembled by a group of people who, based on their own personal view, chose which scriptures that would make it into the bible.
Not only that, there has been many disputes on the translations of the bible to other languages, that "key elements" are not "accurate" in *pick your language*.
Not only that, people then interpret this text that has already gone a number of interpretations (and ultimately created by a random person with random views) and start their own version of the Christian church, interpreting things in their own way.
Not only that, people who join that church interpret what is being said in their own way, and in cases, adapt it slightly to what feels "right".
Science is not based on this randomness and personal opinions. Science agrees with itself. In places where it doesn't, it's usually there were work is being done. And even then, all people of the world are welcome to question what we already know.
For instance, when did we discover that reality was made up of light quanta projected by dimension in the form of Time, Space, Matter and Energy?

I have trouble decoding that sentence for some reason.
Do you by "there" mean the Bible?
If yes, are you saying that the bible existed before man wrote it? Laying around on the ground?
Please forgive me if I didn't understand what you said.
