I have to respectfully disagree on that. I believe in some science and I do believe that there are genuine scientist out here trying to figure out the cause of things but the bible teaches something different as far as rainbows go.
You can't just believe in some science. That claim shows you do not understand what science is about. It's about investigating evidence and drawing conclusion based on that evidence. For example, if a scientist wants to investigate something they'll set up and fully document an experiment. That documentation will include:
1) Purpose of the experiment
2) Full description of the experiment, including methods, materials and equipment.
3) Detailed observations
4) Conclusions based on the observations
Because the experiment is fully documented, someone else can examine the experiment and even run it again, to verify the results. Because of this, science is self correcting. Errors, even deliberate ones, will be uncovered sooner or later.
So, when someone says they don't believe in science, even some science, they're saying they don't believe in demonstratable evidence and fact.
QuoteWhy is what I believe in nonsense?
One example already mentioned is Noah's flood. History shows that story was borrowed from Babylon, a region that had annual floods. Also, there is simply not enough water on the planet to create the flood as described. It's physically impossible.
Quoteagain this is a Christian forum, where we talk about Christian like things and if you can't handle that then leave this section
Perhaps you should be asking why religion is so fragile that it can't withstand a bit of scrutiny.
QuoteBut all of our lives were still pre destined before we were actually born though so while God did come from out of no where he still created us, which is what I believe and that's different than what science tells us. Perhaps you should think.
This is another example of the nonsense. If this "god" came out of nothing, then why is it so improbable that life managed to form on it's own? Seems to me such a god is much more unlikely than life resulting from chemical reactions. Incidentally, some of the basic building blocks of life, such as amino acids and proteins have been created in the lab, through chemical reaction. That first happened back in the '50s.
Science requires evidence and proof. Where are they for religion?
Incidentally, some things may always be beyond our understanding. That does not imply "God" did it. It just means we don't (yet) know enough.
