I'd reckon any religious text has that kind of "Science" in it, if you look close enough.

And it begs the question, how do you even define "science?"


PPS: I don't follow football, sorry OT.

come on, how has the bible ever been right, I want to know


I sincerely hope you are kidding.

Do you really believe I have the time to go into detail about all the fulfilled prophecies and other stuff mentioned in the bible?

The OP gave you one or two examples for you to chew over....but there are many, many more. Not least of which, as I said, are the hundreds of fulfilled prophecies.

People wrangle over obscure messages from Nostradamus, crop circle formations, 'channelled' stuff from aliens, etc, but refuse to acknowledge the very often clear message shown in biblical prophecy.

Please, do a little research.

Thank you.

.....from a very old and very tired old man with sore fingers from typing, who can't be bothered typing out hundreds of pages to answer your question correctly. Thankfully, there are millions of books and websites already available to you for this purpose....

Is that not so?

I believe that a belief in God makes us better persons.

We are more likely to help someone in need, because we see them as the children of God.

We also believe that we will be judged according to how we have treated people.

That is why we have not wasted our lives.....not lived them as selfishly as we would otherwise.

Whether you agree with this belief or not, the fact remains that there are countless people in the world today who are thankful that people like me think the way they do

I have said this before and yes I will say it again, religion is a method of controlling a population/group of individuals on masse. If we can put the fear of god into someone (pun intended) and that stops them doing it, then great!

Religion to me is two things, one as stated above a means of control and two its a comfort blanket that lesser minded individuals use to console themselves in times of need.

Without resorting to the whole religion argument, but answer me one question prove that God/Allah/Vishnu etc etc exist?

No one can do it because no one really knows if they do or if they don't.

At the end of the day, just because you believe in something does NOT mean its true! And thats a fact.

I never understood the war between religion/science anyway.

If the religious folks have faith that God is all-powerful, then they shouldn't have to worry about disproving scientific theories, because God is bigger than them... unless their faith is a little bit more unsteady than they say.

Likewise if the scientists can prove a principle beyond a shadow of a doubt, up to a point it doesn't matter what any religious book says to the contrary.

Both sides would be better served if the concentrated on their function instead of trying to disprove the other.

I've found groups like 'answersin genesis' are trying.

Thanks again.
