Exactly. Salvation went to the Gentiles to make the Jews jealous.Do you think they are jealous of what Christians have?

I do not see scientists as prophets at all. Scientists discover information about how things work and more important, why they work that way. (Lets consider photons, electrons, gamma rays and the like things for the moment) They make predictions about how physical entities will react under certain circumstances. They make no statement or preidictions at to any spiritual concepts. At least not when speaking or writing as a scientists, and not that I know of regarding reputable scientist.

Strictly speaking a prophet is a spokesman or speaker. Aaron was a prophet for Moses (Exodus 7:1). In the story you will notice that Aaron spoke for Moses, he didn't predict. The prophets in the OT spoke for God. They supposedly said what God told them to say.IMO, what truthlover is saying (he'll correct me if I'm wrong) is that scientists have become the speakers for our age. People listen to them because they can produce what they say they can produce. Christianity on the other hand does not seem to produce what it says it can produce. So people are no longer listening to them. It is not that scientists impart any spiritual concepts.Make sense?
