Creationism and Ignorance

[Huggy Bear]

Ever hear of the Christian Scientists ??

I also note some folks take that verse near the end of Matthew seriously  . . .

What does any particular groups doctrine have to do with what the bible actually says? Can their beliefs be supported by scripture?

Also what verse are you referring to?

Jenner thwarting God's will with his puny needles hasn't been consistently viewed as a good thing by a considerable number of Christers over the years . . . .

Who says the use of doctors aren't included in God's will?


Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered? - Jeremiah 8:22

I'm going to go with Free Will for 200, Alex.

Maybe we can at least take comfort in the fact that a truly committed biology denying group of militants are unlikely to develop novel genetic weapons.  They'd have to understand the subject in order to do so.

Safe to say we'll be safe so long as we stay at least a stone's throw away.

If only, huh?  The cynical flexibility of true believers allows them to utilize technology even when they deny the reality and efficacy of the underlying mechanism.  They might not believe in the demonic forgery of physics or the materialist lie of genetics...but they'll launch the missile with a biological warhead all the same.

You know..I can't really get worked up worrying about war.  I'm less and less concerned with the possibility of the use of nuclear weapons.  The thought of designer bioweapons..though, terrifies me*.  It's one of my many tics.  While I doubt that these will ever be cooked up by the real nutters...they are the people I would expect to use them.  Apocalyptic weapons in the hands of an apocalyptic death cult, the fear is real.

*unless we come up with them first, innoculate ourselves against them...and then weaponize our entire populace as latent hosts while selling the rest of the world "treatment" - then I'm all for it...Now Pay Me!

Sounds like a plan.  How many guns you got and when do we make our move?

Surely by now with tens of thousands of Christian schisms, you're not surprised that Rule 34 has a counterpart in the religious world?  IOW, every conceivable belief exists somewhere in Christianity.   Christian Scientists have the balls to call themselves Christians just like scads of the rest of them.  No surprise there.  That Jesus failed to set up a proper and rigorous franchising and/or multi-level marketing plan for His religion is something the True® religious folks of this era are just going to have to live with.


And, does the following ring a bell?

. . . they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.


Believe it or not, it's in the Bible, and there are folks that take it absolutely seriously.   I believe they are called Literalists.  Perhaps you've heard of them ???

LMAO you have been demonstrated that 2% of scientists think creationism is true so your response is cherry-pick out a book with testimonies from some of the 2%.... bahahahahahaha. It's so typical of a theist to cherry-pick so pathetically, lmfao. It's the same way you kid yourself into believing that you can make sense of scripture that makes no sense.

For every 50 scientists who deny evolution there are 2450 who accept evolution. You understand what 2% means, yes?

What's worse for the creatards is that of those 50 scientists 50 will work in areas unrelated to biology or are woefully behind in their literature (ie they stopped sciencing in the 50s). Same thing goes with climate change deniers (except they also get bungs from major polluters).
