Jesus Christ is a whole other deal but connected and the actual subject in the thread title IMO.
Okay but what about the myriad of things the ancients attributed to god but science has since explained? Is god just a loosing battle against greater human understanding?Quote:

It was glaciers and subsequent flooding but what force put that process in motion? god?Quote:

Not sure where you are reading this in my replies, but to be clear I believe we need to find human ways to solve human issues and not turn to folklore to lead the way or tell us how to treat one another (including what TV shows are 'moral').Quote:

The Graham family is part of that legacy. Look at Franklin's support of tRump. He has delivered. And now it looks like not only will abortion be made illegal, we will also see many forms of birth control made illegal.

I had a debate on this subject with a customer, all the believers can do is reinterpret the bible or move goal posts to make science and the bible mesh properly
I'm going to judge a book by it's cover here, but anyone with the audacity to give their book a title that proclaims such omniscience likely doesn't have any opinions I'm interested in hearing.
if puregravity is rolling a slow troll, it succeeded.
Science moves their own goal posts all the time. Practically every day. Older rocks. new creatures, what was true is not. But I need to go now. Have fun.Quote:

Those aren't goalposts, they're observations.Quote:

As for "what was true is not", that's the whole point. Our understanding of things changes with better data.
that's how science works, always studying, when a new discovery comes along it's tested multiple times and science changes. science doesn't follow a strict dogma and change science to fit said dogmaQuote:
