Why must so many highly religious people always be in such conflict with Science? If you believe that God created the Universe, then everything around you, including you is the actual “Hand of God”. If you desire to know the will of God, wouldn’t it be better to study the “Handy work of God”, with the minds his hand gave us. Than to study a book assembled in Byblos from stories, from all over the middle-east, by primitive and superstitious men who believed the world was flat, and disease was caused by demons entering in through your mouth. Translated, only God knows how many times, by similarly primitive men, who believed leeches, and bleeding a sick person, would remove the bad humors that cause disease. A greater understanding of the mind of God, is more likely to be achieved by the scientist studying the beauty of God’s creation filled with Quarks and Quasars, than the distorted writings of primitive men, no matter how divinely inspired, groping for some understanding of the world around them and their existence?

You obviously havent read the book of Leviticus especially the parts about hygiene. The hygiene laws were centuries ahead of science that discovered germs. I guess the primitives just lucked up on those. Also, the Bible doesnt say the earth is flat, it makes reference to the four corners of the earth (ie north south east and west)in Revelations 7:1. Although is does specifically say that the earth is a sphere (Isaiah 40:22)and hangs on nothing (Job 26:7). Be careful your biblical ignorance is showing.

I have NO conflict with LITERAL science, but this evolution mysticism is a load of donkey dung. Did not happen the way the religion of evolutionists claim!! As it is Written we are all made in the image of the Heavenly Father, but not all minds are in tuned with Him. This present age is by design to give opportunity for all His children to be born of woman, into a flesh going to die and return to dust body. When the flesh dies, the soul, or as Genesis calls it *breath of life* returns to the Father that sent it. As also Written not all of those sons of God were willing to go through this flesh age and they along with that one who believed in himself so much (Satan) are the only ones yet judged with a death of their "soul" sentence.

Flesh man is not going to design any methods that will make this flesh body live into eternity.

Go easy there ... mankind is likely to 'discover' how nature works and using those discovered laws and principles develop science and engineering disciplines and eventually build worldwide communications networks using computers and - and - ...

I seem to have lost that last thought ...

You deny the very Power of God with this sentence.
