I would add that what we don't know is far greater than what we do know about the universe. And the more we know, and the harder we look, the wierder the universe gets!

I am not anti-science, only for the much needed discussion on how to keep science in perspective.

Science has no remedy for my sin problem, and if we allow it to take our focus off of the HOPE provided by our Creator in the historically provable death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, then the enemy has succeeded.

Read between the supernatural lines here folks. No black helicopters here.

1. Confusion over what is good and evil. (Liberals on IRAQ, marriage, Godless behavior accepted and expected...).
2. All semblance of respect out the window. (Current political climate worldwide including the U.S., court appointments, Democrats toward their wartime President...)
3. Israel in the Land despite worldwide hatred. (60% of all UN resolutions are against Israel - a free Democracy).
4. Powderkeg between Islam and Judeo-Christian cultures.

Stupid headline. Not everything we know is wrong. All it says is that we haven't found fields sufficient to initiate a lightning strike. We know what lightning is. We know the amplitude of the current.

What an intellectually and spritually bankrupt exercise - to nitpick perhaps the greatest collective human acheivement, because parts of it appear to conflict with a particularly narrow reading of one religion's foundiong documents.

You don't know that.

Just admitting that God made it all, gives those Science guys an inferority complex, doesn't it?

Those that do, however, have a constant mental "wedgie".

Go hang out with some non-Christian teens and find out how bad the wedgie the liberal education establishment has pulled on them.

"Science and it's production of technology is the key to peace."
"If we made the goodies we have available to them, they would stop hating us."

They have no concept of a Moral Law giver that can set the absolute standards applicable to all individuals. They falsely believe we have all the answers in and of ourselves. Namely SCIENCE.

Gen 3:4-5
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

We know what lightning is.

You know you have a finger on your hand too. Explain how you make it move to type "Stupid Headline".

1/10 of 1%, and half of that will be changed down the road.

Maybe it will, but there's no way to know that from this thing.

Science is fun, and sometimes helpful.

No. It only suggests that there may have been water present. Perhaps a flood, perhaps a trickle. This, in itself, does not prove "the flood".

The most plausable theory is that in the past water flowed uphill.

I guess. Not the most profound statement we might think of, but you probably won't find too many who disagree with you, either ;)

Could the New Inquisition Priesthood just save a lot of bandwith if they all group-signed one post that says "Pay No Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain"?

If God wasn't Christian, he might file suit for copyright infringement.

I am glad you exhibit perspective my friend. We could dish up some humble pie, trouble is getting them to eat.

It looks like Catastrophism is nothing more than a term used to describe selective geological events that are part of an overall Uniformitarianism.

9-11 was a non-linearity that upsets scientists, but was expected by those believing in the supernatural.

Correction, not all scientists are natural materialists.

The creation of the Universe was non-linear, as are much of quantum mechanics.

And we created the observable universe under quantum mechanics (Copenhagen Theory?).

I think, therefore I observe. The ability to think was imbued non-linearly.

Gen 1:26
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Gen 2:7
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

The universe was probably imagined into existence...just like everything else.

...and, does non-linearity have a linearity of its own or is it merely an anomaly within linearity?
