@Tep:
Oh look, a religious debate! What thread can escape its inevitability?
Are you saying this like "people of science," whatever that means, have been history's hated targets? Nero and Decius and Diocletian say quite the contrary. The only notable persecution against scientific figures that I'm aware is Galileo. Perhaps I'm just terribly uninformed.
Anywho, I don't have a religion; I have a relationship. And that is with Jesus Christ.
That said: Spark D. Fox, your current avatar really annoys me. Those hands are veiny! :ermm:
Your religion is Christianity and no amount of condescending smugness will ever change that.
And you mention Nero, Diocleatian and Decius like they weren't religious themselves.
I'll disagree here. There is truth in science itself, but when you look at the religion of science,
There is no religion of science.
all you see are conjectures and theories–not facts about anything.
What are you talking about.
The theory of how existence came into being alone has so many different theories, it's ridiculous: The Big Bang (honestly the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard), the "
" theory, and all of that other nonsense. God and His infinite being just make sense in that regard.
No actually "MAGIC MAN" doesn't make sense from any logical standpoint. Which is why most Christians with good sense operate from faith.
You lose effective immediatly when you start trying to say magical super beings is a logical assumption for anything.
List these "so many" different theories and explain why they're nonsense.
But that is untrue. It is simply that Christians are letting themselves be stepped all over because they're too weak to stand for their faith. Many Muslims in the middle east, in fact, are converting to Christianity only on the basis of them having dreams involving Christ. I find that amazing.
No, there's no major trend of this thing you probably were linked to in some feel good urban myth/isolated dumb story based chain mail.
Don't bullshit us boy.
You might find
interesting, if you're willing to watch. I'm sure if you're not up for 16:00 minutes, you could find a shorter YouTube clip.
No one has found Sodom and Gommorah and there is no evidence that they actually existed yet. Various candidate sites is all there is.
Beyond that it is still meaningless in so much as proving god burned cities into ash. I don't see why Greg should care.
