Science will surely destroy the planet

[Shell B]

I should have ghostwritten the bible. Now that I think of it, a literal translation in parody would be fun to write.

[Autumnlicious]

Not the point; you asked me to provide references for the biblical facts I cited. I have done so. It's not my fault your holy book doesn't mean what it says it does. Your god should write more plainly - or rather its ghostwriters should.

I often wonder, if the Holy Book is so divine, why is it that no one can agree on what the bloody thing says?

No more distinguishable than by random cacophony.

As I am sure you're well aware, Revelation uses a lot of symbolic language. It is thought to refer to the shaking of the powers of this world, casting down the so-called gods and goddesses, demi-gods, their idols etc down to the ground.

As I am sure you're well aware, Revelation is the ergot-fueled hallucination of some ancient goat herder.

FTFY.

[The Grand Nudger]

Such an elaborate explanation. I think he fell and hit his head on a rock. On the other hand, writers gotta write, seems even simpler. If it were you, sitting on the revelations narrative, you'd put it to paper wouldn't you. NYT Bestseller list here we come! You see, some peoples faith is so genuine, and their assessment of the religious landscape so well ingrained within their reality, that anything that came to their minds about god was likely to be true (to them at least). Fellow believers felt that the faith of others was similarly as genuine and so there will always be a group of people who would take testimony like revelations (or anything similar really) at face value. Each faith and denomination being very much like a super dedicated book club. All with their own branches of fan fiction.

What a waste of fucking time.

[Doubting Thomas]

Technology won't destroy the planet. Technology in the hands of those willing to destroy the planet will, however.

This is why I don't want a president who says that God told him to run for president.

[Blam!]

Doomsday, doomsday and doomsday. Didn't you Christians preach humanity to repent before of Biblical Revelation?

Pfft. I foresee the end of world at paws of.... ATOMIC CATS! Believe me! It will come true! I tell you!

Fuck sake why am I always late to these kind of posts

Science will surely destroy the planet

Science is more likely to help the planet (even if very little), not destroy it.

But inevitably, of course, the planet will be destroyed one day regardless of our advancement in science and technology. And this can happen in many different ways.

There is at least 1007 years remaining before the world is destroyed. Any student of the Bible would know this.

Science doomsday scenerio:

With technology becoming

1. Exponentially more powerful
2. Exponentially cheaper to produce
3. Exponentially more widely available and attainable

It is inevitable that at some point it will be possible for anyone to construct a weapon of mass destruction in the privacy of their own homes and use it to set off a chain reaction which will start world war 3.

Comments?

Pooh, science can destroy nothing, it is intangible. People can misuse science to destroy, just like they can use anything to destroy.

Me, I ain't giving up science, I like my flush toilet too much.
