It's mathematics, and so not the same critter as science, except for being the sole vehicle by which science has a way to express itself. However, your (Drich's) umbrella religions (all you believer's management) kept that for themselves except for the part where they observed the heavens to intimidate the illiterate peasants by predicting solar eclipses as a threat against whatever behavior they wanted to control (for example). Those captive mathematicians served the churches. I truly hope that if there is a god, that he punishes those people and you lot that do what you do.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

You;re talking with a person who thinks that magic book was written damn near at the beginning of time...and that it being as currently wrong as it ever was is a bonus.
Good luck.

The Bible doesn't say anything about serpents talking and what do you mean there was no water. The Bible doesn't say those things will save you. You need to at least read the Bible before you make yourself look so foolish by stating things that are not in it. Wow how to you get by in life acting in this manner. GC
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

In a language which was not even invented until the 10th century BC at the earliest but more likely several centuries later. Dealing with G-C is frankly like talking to a 2 year old.

Yep, but serpent wasn't mentioned it was serpents, big difference especially since this one was most likely one of a kind. I asked you earlier why you bothered answering others post, this is a good reason not to, you do not read them closely, it is a fault of yours. GC

Anyway, Jews also have their Talmud besides the Bible ... and Talmud these are Jewish books, written by various Rabbis in the first centuries after Christ. The first book is called the Mishnah and is an explanation of the Mosaic law contained in the Bible ("the first major written collection of the Jewish oral traditions known as the Oral Torah.")... and for them the Talmud is more important than Bible so they still follow the Mosaic law..

One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day."  RE: Nobody reads science books metaphorically!

There was a point to these books, in amongst other agendas, which was an attempt to compile "health and safety" ideas of the day. Some of them turned out to have a bit of basis, and some are just completely wrong. Sadly some of these things still get followed regardless, and rationales are engineered to explain why people are still doing things which seems extremely stupid.
(Just my opinion.) Feel free to send me a private message.

Rob, this is where the Abrahamic religions have painted themselves into a corner.
Wouldn't they just love to heavily revise the bible in an attempt to remain relevant and connect with the newer generations. But by doing so, they have to admit that the bible is not the unchanging perfect word of God.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear. |
