I am being serious. You said that for any answers, just turn to the Bible. Apparently you didn’t mean that? Perhaps the Bible is a good source for answers to the spiritual world, and the relationship than man has with God, and should have with each other, but it is NOT a science or physical textbook.
I don’t see where I can find Ohm’s Law in the Bible. I don’t see where I can find the Newtonian laws of motion on the Bible. And I don’t see the firing order for a 1963 Mercury 260 V8.
You should be serious about what the Bible IS, not what you think it should be...
You’re not? That explains the fifth-grade literacy. Perhaps you were religiously homeschooled.
Come on now, your showing your true colors!

Look closer!
You sir, make a mockery of Christianity and the Bible.
For most of the last 2000 years the Church has been the leading force for scientific research. To better know God, we need to also know His creation. It brings insight beyond what we can get without it.
God gave us an intellect and curiosity - to not use them to our full to explore and expand our knowledge of the universe is wasting one of the biggest gifts He gave us.
So tell me - which Genesis story is correct? Because Genesis chapter 1 has the earth, nature, and plants all created before man, over the course of 6 days. Yet Genesis 2 says that it was all created in one day, and that man was created before the plants.
So which is right? One must be wrong...
Maybe the Bible is a spritual/moral guide for life with God and with each other, and not a textbook? If you think otherwise, then answer the question about the Creation stories.
Unless you take every literal word of the Bible (which translation?) as the inerrant Word of God, much like Muslims believe for the Koran? I believe the teachings and principles of the Bible are inerrant, but the actual words themselves? That’s what separates us from the Muslims - our understanding that God is not simply constrained to some words, handed down verbally over centuries and translated a dozen times.
You sir, make a mockery of yourself by your ridiculous statements, you do not know me or my relationship with God so how can you judge me? As far as I'm concerned, this is idol conservation and I will have none of it!
conservation = conversation
The fact remains that you made a statement, repeated it multiple times, and have no proof - the Bible does NOT contain all answers. Enjoy, heretic...
Enjoy, heretic...
You are certainly of Satan!
I remember my mother, who was born in 1911, telling me how when she was a young child was taught that the atom couldn’t be broken.
I imagine that people who believed it could be were branded as anti-believers and Satanists, much as they are on this thread.
We all know how THAT turned out, and without it America might very well have fallen.
Ironic, America, blessed by God, saved by Satanists.
This may very well turn out the same way.

Thx Thx.
So, what are their speculations of THEN WHAT?
He’s just thinking of his own life, that is, the death part of it.
Thanks for the ping.
I love science and religion. What a world.
:’) My pleasure.
