Trust the Bible not Science

Trust the Bible not Science
From a fundy guy I was interacting with...

Quote:Basically, science is said to be better because it is constantly being proven wrong. But why should anyone place their trust in something with such a poor track record? Science is aways in flux. There is no reason to give such a high authority to it and indeed good reason to remain skeptical about so called "theories" of today which like those of yesterday end up being discarded further down the line.

The Bible on the other hand, never changes. It's message has always been consistent and unlike the "theories" of science, it has never been proven wrong nor does it contradicts as you can easily find so many scientists within the same field contradicting themselves.

Hehe, well, how to argue with such an obviously logical stance? O.o

When the facts don't line up with your world view, simply assert that they do.

"Trust the Koran, not science"
"Trust the Torah and Talmud, not science"
"Trust Buddha, not science"
"Trust the Vedas, not science"

Same bullshit.

Trust science not myth.

39,999 sects, schisms, and denominations of just christianity disagree with that twat.

Science: Acknowledges it's errors and works towards fixing them.
Religion: Never acknowledges it's errors instead covers them up with more lies.

Well the bible has been changed, and the countless divisions between the followers of Yahweh indicate that everyone doesn't believe the same things.

The fact that science changes over time is a strength not a weakness. It means that it doesn't claim absolute truth, and accepts new information that shows past theories are incorrect. That's why nothing goes beyond theory, but a scientific theory describes a tried and true method.

Christians like to bash evolution. Nothing is going to disprove evolution happens, though something may change the way we think about certain details of it.

Who built the sky? Why don't it fall down? Why is the earth so viable? Don't you see the stars? They'll fall down in the end times. Why can't you repent? **weeping**

While it would be true for one to say that science has been used to do destructive things, it is not the tool of method itself doing it, but the humans bastardizing the ethics of misusing the tool.

Science like anything else in life, should be subject to oversight as well as politics and religion.

But the tool of method itself is our best tool to settle the issue of competing claims.

RE: Trust the Bible not Science
Bible remains steady in the face of a changing world. The true word of God never changed. Science is laughable. One moment, they say that the world started with a bang and the next moment, they say "oh it really did not start, it was just a creation of another universe within multiverses." As if they were there when the bang occurred.

ROFLOL

Utter bull crap. This shows science has no idea what they are saying or doing.
