Re: Religion and Truth and Dogma
There are SIMILARITIES between Genesis 1 and conventional wisdom on universal evolution.
they both use words? i think thats about it?
ever contributing to scientific advancement, you may be shocked to learn that many of the "great minds" of science were devoutly religious men
so what? jar knows this, this doesn't mean that what people believe today is what they believed then
Try to remove your dogmatic blinkers - neither science nor religion offer a total view of reality.
you don't know anything about the person to make this statement or any of your other ad homs

Re: Eisegesis -- it's not just for breakfast anymore.
I'm surprised that none of our literalist cousins have yet misquoted some poetic Biblical passage allegedly showing that the Bible already knew that people see by reflected light.
rofl i might go see is psalms has one about the light of god in the eye or some such, since people try to claim poetry is prophicy!

The Big Bang is just 1 of many theories and since we are including the presence of a supreme cosmic being then how hard would it be to believe that this being created planets before suns or life before birth.. etc etc etc? The "Laws of Physics" just don't apply in that manner. This is a being that created energy from nothingness since this being was all that existed prior to the creation of the Universe according to Genesis. We can talk science all day and night about what is and what isn't according to constants yet when you include a being like this with such attributes then how can you then rationalize any argument on this subject by including science?
because if we are going to include a supreme cosmic being in the equation, we would hope what he does would make some sense and agree with the evidence we get now
If you really want to get scientific then prove the existance of God without including subjective beliefs. See how far modern day science will be able to achieve that. If there really is a being of such awesome abilities then how are we 'EVER' going to scientifically become aware of his/her/its existance?
its scientificly impossible to prove anything spiritual, theres no evidence of anything
Will the Unified Field Theory scientifically get us any closer to knowing the existance of this being and how this being set forth the creation of all existance providing this being even exists at all? I highly doubt it.
sorry what? what does that have to do with anything?
