For the same reason all those other religions died out.
Quote:Option 5 (this is the one I see) in a hundred years christianity continues to shun 'science' to the point where our kids are made to choose between a philosophy that brings them inter webs, cellular telephones, the face books, and puts chinamen on the moon. Verses something faith based that takes a life time to work through. (They are taught to expect everything now, and do not have the tools or inclination to put the time in.) unless we change modern Christianity will become like the Quakers, Amish, al quida, Hasidic Jews etc.. A people frozen in time.
Then it will be up to God to decide whether or not the cup of mans enquiry has been filled. If so, then we will be well past the second coming in 10,000 years.
That is why I work on things like my evolution/creationism thread. If we can maintain the church there is hope for man. Like with sodom and glamorah even if there are just a hand full of 'good men' God will spare the rest. Kill of the church, and we will see who is right rather quickly.
So, what I'm hearing is that, no matter what science discovers, you'll be there to retrofit your religion into that, rather than just admitting that it's wrong?
Science is our explanation of how God works. The idea that God has to or rather can only move and act by circumventing science and nature is dark age foolishness.
In my 12/21/12 thread I made a prediction that 'science' was going to actually discover God, but not really. They were going to discover an alternate universe, and it's transdemensional beings are what we identified as God and his angels...
If you think about it that is exactly what God is a transdemensional being. That doesn't mean just because we can put a label on Him He is any less God.
