[...]Oh, a theology scholar, are you? Great - maybe you'll be able to give an example of ONE thing that theology has accomplished, or discovered in the past 500 years? Hmmm? No? I didn't think so.
Anyone with minimal education can name scores of scientific achievements/discoveries, made in the last century alone - from discovery of black holes and pulsars, to the mapping of DNA. And yet theology seems content on regurgitating the same tired old nonsense they did in the Dark Ages. Why is that?
Studying theology is a fool's errand. As Robert A. Heinlein once said: "Theology is never any help; it is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there."
