If Science were a woman, would it be smart one?

You have your own private God?

I do when I'm taken by surprise.

The females are different: good, smart ones; and bad, crazy ones. Just like men are different: saints and bad sinners like Adolf Hitler.

Surely, she would be very attractive physically and rich.
But she will never trust you, she will never trust your logic,
she will look up for fun with you. She will use you (if you are lucky enough) but never love you.
She will be slow-minded, she will not accept easily new ideas, even if they are right and logical.
She will be most terrible in character, but very attractive and rich.

Why so? She is an evil goddess. She is the Babylon Babe from the Book of Revelation.
Single and alone?
Probably. :(

You strike me as someone who would get stabbed.

This makes no sense. None. It is Agenticity at its finest; a conscious, intentional attempt to attribute human qualities to a non-human object. It's utter dribble. Sorry to be harsh, but I struggle to find a gentler way to express myself.

Surely, she would be very attractive physically and rich.

This does not follow. Why would science, as a woman, be attractive and rich?

But she will never trust you, she will never trust your logic,

This is inherent in science; this is one of the reasons it works; science doesn't hold a certain thing to be true because its "logical" or "sounds right". It holds certain things to be true because the things it holds to be true are testable, observable, repeatable, falsifiable, and predictable.

she will look up for fun with you. She will use you (if you are lucky enough) but never love you.

Science is "knowledge"; it has no emotion; again, this does not follow.

She will be slow-minded, she will not accept easily new ideas, even if they are right and logical.

Because this is inherent about science; new ideas must be testable, observable, repeatable, falsifiable, and predictable -- and that takes time to verify or refute.

She will be most terrible in character, but very attractive and rich.

So, the tool that made mass production of food attainable, saving many people from starvation, is terrible in character/ The scientists (doctors) who offer their time, discipline, etc. to charitable causes, such as Shriners, etc, are "terrible in character"? And again, why must this "woman" be "attractive and rich?"

Your logic, I just can't follow. I can't follow it at all.

He is Eternal, Immortal and always been, He has life in Himself, He doesn’t change, He’s been the same yesterday, today and forever.
Doesn't change? What about the famous dickering scene in Genesis 18:22-33? What about slavery, and how to sell your daughter and the rules for bonking your slaves? You still burn witches? Never shave your beard? [He} used not to like democracy, divorce, homosexuality and so on.

A god who can't change [his] opinions when [his] congregation changes theirs will lose [his] congregation and no longer be a god.

God doesn’t need anyone, He invites people to come into His family. He settled all the false ideas about His character and holiness, some that you listed. He did this by sending His Son to give
His life for us, demonstrating His love and how much He will freely give us all things.

I've never understood the point of "sending [his] son to die for us". What exactly was God trying to achieve, and why did anyone, let alone God's own son, have to die to achieve it? If God is omnipotent and benevolent, that way of proceeding makes absolutely no sense, is gratuitously violent.

Why didn't [he] send angel ─ not humans ─ to instruct each of the world's cultures and civilizations all at the one time? I'm scarcely the first person to wonder about that, but unless God is also enormously inefficient, or has no understanding of humans ─ either of which would explain a great deal ─ it's a valid and unanswered question.

God is Holy, Righteous and Just, Humans rebelled against His command and received the consequences that God said. He keeps His Word and Promises. We got the death penalty and that was passed down to all of us. There was no other way for human beings to be saved, only a perfect sacrifice was good enough, Jesus Christ.

Science is supposed to be all about the facts. If that were the case, it would make for a boring woman. The reason females are interesting is partly due to them not thinking in a linear fashion. Yes, it's sometimes frustrating and irritating, but it does keep things interesting.

But science is ultimately wrong most of the time, so yeah, it could be female.

No other way for humans to be saved? Hypothetically, isn't it God's choice to do whatever He wants with humans? If He wants to save humans, then He can save them. If He wants humans condemned for all eternity, then I guess He can do that, too. Or, He could judge humans individually and not base it on what their allegedly rebellious ancestors might have done (if they were even rebellious at all).

If God changed His mind and decided not to send Jesus down to be crucified, are you saying that God would not be capable of saving humans? Did Jesus' sacrifice give God some supernatural power that He did not previously have?

When did the Chinese, the people of India, the natives of the Americas, Africa, Australia, rebel against God?

They didn't. They couldn't. They'd never heard of [him]. So I respectfully suggest that won't work.

On top of that, there is no rebellion in the Garden story in Genesis. The word sin never appears. Nor do original sin, the fall of man, death entering the world, spiritual death, the need for a redeemer ─ not one of them gets the slightest mention.
He keeps His Word and Promises. We got the death penalty and that was passed down to all of us.
As I said, that's not in the Garden story ─ in that story, humans were always going to die (see Genesis 3:22-23),
There was no other way for human beings to be saved, only a perfect sacrifice was good enough, Jesus Christ.
Saved from what, exactly? They went on suffering, being virtuous, being sinful, succeeding in life, failing in life, dying of poverty, disease, famine, just as before ─ please correct me if that's wrong.

It is very hard to say.

Of course one thing is absolutely clear: your knowledge of women is almost precisely the same as your knowledge of science.
:rolleyes:
