Science and Religion Are Incompatible

"Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats." -Howard Aiken mobile.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/h/howardaike101540.html --- Squonk- "I'm dealing with a "Gish gallop" here." So Squonk chose zero of my points to refute. He/she could have picked at least one to rebuttal, so all points stand as unchallenged. --- Squonk- "But, we have no risky prediction anywhere in the scriptures that has come true. Of course, preachers have disingenously told their flocks that many Biblical prophecies have been fulfilled." Sure we do. (Matthew 24:14) "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." This logically should have been snuffed out by the Roman genocide of Christians and the Jewish authority, but nope. Now it's the biggest religion on planet Earth by far. Or...how about Ezekiel 29:15 IEgyptwill be a lowly kingdom and will never again exalt itself above the other nations. I will make it so weak that it will never again rule over any other nation. Did it? Has it? Nope. And if it does, the Bible is wrong. --- Squonk- "In Evidence That Demands a Verdict...Josh McDowell of the Campus Crusade for Christ" I'm not Josh McDowell. He can defend his own arguments. --- Squonk- "At the end of the day, the "mathematical probility" of all these "prophecies" being "fulfilled" only seems to impress Christians." So 1/4 of planet Earth are impressed at minimal. --- Squonk- "Raised Christian or not: when it comes to these prophecies, you're counting the hits and ignoring the misses." Which misses? --- Science and Religion Compatable- According to the Huffington Post, the percentage of scientists that believe in some form of a deity or power was 51 %, slightly more than half. m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_56afa292e4b057d7d7c7a1e5 --- Of the 10 highest IQ's on Earth, 8 are known theists, and 6 are known to be Christians. http://www.examiner.com... --- Fred Hoyle, Atheist, English astronomer noted primarily for the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis, tried to "disprove God". The more he dove in the more it began to sink in. He said that his "Atheism was shaken" by his findings. It was this work that caused Hoyle, an atheist, to begin to believe in the guiding hand of a god (what would later be called "intelligent design" or "fine tuning"), when he considered the statistical improbability of the large amount of carbon in the universe, carbon which makes possible carbon-based lifeforms such as humans. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... http://www.physicsoftheuniverse.com... --- Howard H. Aiken (1900-1973)- "Modern physics teaches me that nature is not capable of ordering itself. The universe presupposes a huge mass of order. It therefore requires a great "First Cause" that is not subject to the second law of transformation of energy, and that is therefore supernatural." --- Allan Sandage- He determined the first reasonably accurate values for the Hubble constant and the age of the universe. He also discovered the first quasar. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... http://www.space.com... "It was my science that drove me to the conclusion that the world is much more complicated than can be explained by science. It is only through the supernatural that I can understand the mystery of existence." -Allan Sandage www.azquotes.com/quote/584867 --- "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." -Albert Einstein http://mobile.brainyquote.com...
