Today's problems

[PAUL MARKHAM]

Firstly one must identify the problem. Just one at a time because solving them all with one solution is impossible.

Global climate change. The planet's climate has been in constant change since it's birth. This affects everything on the planet. Species adapt or go extinct.

How does any religious bible written before they knew the problem solve the problem?

Any Bible? How many are there?

Quite.

My Haynes Manual on the Morris Minor has nothing to say on the subject either. Pah!

Some create more trouble than they solve.

So you mean religious texts, not Bibles. I'm just curious, of these religious texts, how many have you read? Of those you read, how many have you understood?

Edited it afterwards.

I'm all ears if you know of a religious bible that has solutions to climate change.

I'm all ears if you know of a religious bible that has solutions to climate change.

Likewise, I'm all ears if you have a science book that has an answer to the purpose of being and the nature of consciousness.

Also, there is one Bible. The others are religions texts, not Bibles.

What on earth makes you think any religious text would concern itself with climate science?

Science knows the solutions. The problem is getting the world to agree to them. In simple terms they are.

Reduce population size.
Reduce consumption.
Reduce the destruction of the Earth's resources.

There are many religious texts that different people worship as their bibles.

A conversation I was having with another poster and felt it warranted a thread of its own.

 

[Secret Chief]

Quite.

The DK Idiot's Guides have one on Climate Change. I've got the one on Plant Nutrition. DK are rushing one out on Viral Transmission too.

Either you didn't read my most, or you read it and chose to ignore it. Why?

There are many religious texts that different people worship as their bibles.

This makes zero sense and has nothing to do with what I wrote.

If you are unwilling unable to learn, I see no point continuing this discourse.

 

[Heyo]

Any Bible? How many are there?

I have no estimation of how many there are but there have been quite a few named "bible": the Jefferson Bible, the Satanic Bible, the Mao Bible.
And even if we only talk about the Christian Bible, there are hundreds of translations and different denominations have included different books.
So, there surely is not only one bible.

That I didn't know. Though I do have the Haynes Manual on babies: yes really, there is one. One of my brothers got it for me when my son was born.

Are you really "low information" enough to think that might be so?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

There are many religious texts that different people worship as their bibles.

Only the Christians have a Bible. No one else uses that word (well. and LaVey Satanists with the Satanic Bible). Book of the Dead, Quran, Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, Kojiki, Tao Te Ching, Tanakh, Four Books. Some cultures had no written texts.
And I'm not aware of many, Christians included, who worship their text. I'm not sure if any do.

I could be misunderstanding what I read of course, but it seems many Hindu scriptures speak of not being attached to (as I will now eloquently put), junk, crap, useless plastic bobbles, and other meaningless noise that most of humanity wastes their life trying to collect. Earth is our Mother, and is to be respected and treated as such, not drained of her lifeblood to entertain a greedy population. (Most Pagan religions share this view of earth, as well.)

I think these views are fairly supportive of what science recommends we do.

 

[Quintessence]

I mean, I consider scientific works to be religious works given the sciences is the study of the gods when your gods are literally nature and the universe and everything, so.... uhm.... does that count?
