Excerpt from TV show Firefly:
River: Noah's Ark is a problem.
Book: Really.
River: We'll have to call it early quantum state phenomenon. Only way to fit five thousand species of mammal on the same boat.
Concider this: just because something us unproveable now, doesn't mean it always will be. Eventually science will catch up to our questions and we will know more, one way or the other. But just because science leans a certain way now, doesn't mean in 100 or 1000 years that it will continue to do so. Time after time man's science has been either proved false or proved true but added to, thus changing original beliefs. To be so arrogant about todays science, that it is unfallable in it's judgement; is just as bad as puting faith in a so called myth.
Keep that in mind the next time you insult someone for their faith in what you call a fable, or even when you are insulted for your faith in today's science.
As for me... I see no need for science and religion to be mutually exclusive. After all, would anyone even have thought to research a global flood thousands of years ago if the story hadn't been told? Maybe, maybe not...
