    Double-blind Prayer Efficacy Test -- Really?

    And I disagree that it is ultimately a meaningless existence. It is meaningful because *we* give it meaning based on our goals and desires. being a social species, this often relates to helping others. Being an intelligent species, it can also relate to learning about the universe and how it...

    Double-blind Prayer Efficacy Test -- Really?

    The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem: 2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” 3 What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun? 4 Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains...

    Science In The Bible

    Here is another evidence given, to indicate the divine inspiration of the Bible, by revealing detailed knowledge of the physical world that was not understood by ‘science’ until many centuries, if not millennia, later. THE HYDROLOGIC CYCLE The Bible and the hydrologic cycle - creation.com...

    Science and the Bible

    This is a pointless exercise. The bible is not a science book. It is a work of literature, full of allegory and metaphor. The value of Its messages to humanity does not depend in the least on it describing nature accurately, which of course it does not do.

    Science and the Bible

    Nope. That means the disk of the earth. The bible thinks the earth is flat (sometimes like a table, sometimes like a plate), it's the center of the universe and rigidly fixed in place, the sun moon and stars go round it, the sky (firmament) is solid and the heavenly bodies are affixed to it so...

    Science and the Bible

    Let's see, He who sits above the circle of the Earth....... Same could be said for somebody looking down at a table top. I mean it describes a Viewpoint from above. Right? How in the world could someone ever tell if it was spherical if you're just above it? ********* All the rivers run...

    Science and the Bible

    I stopped reading at the verse referring to the "circle" of the earth. A circle is flat, and as you said the earth is a sphere (or ellipsoid to be precise). So, the verse describing the earth as a circle is obviously erroneous.

    'THE BIBLE AND SCIENCE DON'T COINCIDE!' Below are some reasons why I disagree with the statement above :) Share thoughts - be kind. EARTH'S SPHERICAL SHAPE (Isaiah 40:22)“It is He who sits above the circle of the earth” Discovery Claim: Pythagorus proposed that the Earth was round...

    Death as a proof?

    I disagee with your interpretation (according to Christian scripture) other than one's body: 17 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his...

    Death as a proof?

    the bible doesn't teach that the person is eternal. it teaches that life is eternal. that form that the life takes is ever evolving. life isn't a destination. it's a journey, a never ending journey. Matthew 8:20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no...

    Just Addressing Yet Another Absurd, Dishonest Atheistic Argument

    Just stuff to argue about.... Some of you may know this already but here is claimed scientific evidence known by the Bible. 1. Only in recent years has science discovered that everything we see is composed of invisible atoms. Here, Scripture tells us that the "things which are seen were not made...

    Is the Bible Really True?

    7th Day (Saturday): 5514-12-2 (February 21, 2015) Is the Bible Really True? I believe that the Bible is true for the following reasons: • God oversaw the preservation of the Holy Scriptures. For example, biblical scholars believe that Moses was not an eyewitness to the creation of the universe...

    Why does my God allow children to die? Is he evil?

    I asked you to provide the verse you were referring to, and instead you quoted something about Matthew Maury, as you’ve done here (though I think it was a different quote). So I guessed that the verse you were referring to was the one he apparently found inspiration from – that being...

    Why does my God allow children to die? Is he evil?

    I did not recall the verse or apply it to anything, but lets see where I did get it from. American naval officer and oceanographer Matthew Maury (1806-1873) was a Christian who loved reading his Bible. He also had no doubts about its accuracy. And these facts led him to some remarkable...

    What does the fossil record say?

    Thanks. This is what I was pointing out. This was something understood by many cultures before, during and after the text of the bible. Basically the writer took what was observable and attributed to his god. He explains a phenomenon of the natural world that was observable. Sumerians...

    What does the fossil record say?

    That’s why I made a closer study of the water cycle. Nothing about it in your Bible. Your Bible only describes what little children can figure out all by themselves. Your Bible didn’t figure this out. Science did it later. When I was a little child I figured out exactly what your Bible...
