• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Does Science Agree With the Bible?

Abortions have been with us for quite a while. They were not as safe as today, but they used to be done by a Hebrew priest, if the wife had been supposedly cheating on the husband.
I doubt that any priest of Israel would kill babies.

Indeed. It's like we had to work it out on our own.
Many scientists feel inspired. Many were inspired of demons. Many of God. Here is a few that were supposed to be believers, therefore believed in inspiration from spirits.

Not quite.

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Along with that comes help from the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

What has happened though, is that God's gift is used against Him now.

And Atheists even deny the Giver ...

Luke 11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

The "key of knowledge", is Jesus Christ.

Well, His evidence was left all over the place in the stones and the bones and the stars. I think it wise to read the evidence carefully and to regard the bible as speaking only to the spiritual aspect of our lives.
The stones and the bones and the stars are to attest to the glory of God and show His handiwork ...

Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Using those to show how He did it, or what happened back then, or when He did it, or anything else can, as Paul put it, lead to atheism.

I sometimes wonder if the type of folks many forums attract who supposedly represent science really do..?

"In 2009, the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press polled members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on belief in a higher power. The study found that 51 percent of members polled expressed such a faith.."

I don't think a real scientist would give us the time of day.

At least not continually, like they do here.

I think most people are superficially familiar with the scientific method and like to use it as a tool against our faith.

They swing it around in the dark, hoping to score some kind of point against the Bible.

In almost ten years here, I can only think of two people (Thaumaturgy and Split Rock), who seriously investigated before they communicated.

The rest overlook basic doctrine, time stamps on posts, quote tags, fail to Google terms they haven't heard before, fail to proofread their posts, and a host of other things that clearly a true scientist wouldn't do.

Pretty base folks that would do that.

Ha. I guess the thing is with 'scientists' is that they specialize in one narrow little field or area. They can't really address the big picture.

Well, His evidence was left all over the place in the stones and the bones and the stars.
Are we talking of the "God" character in the bible that allegedly walked and talked in a garden that has no evidence of having existed, poofed people and animals into existence, and later, in a manner contrary to the modern understanding of genetics, populated the planet with a tiny group of individuals and animals that survived a global flood in an unbuildable boat, a flood that killed the dinosaurs in a manner that only *appears* to be 65 million years ago, because the Earth is really only somehow 6000 years old, yet remains, by every objective measure to date indistinguishable from nothing?

I do not see evidence for that character being real.
I think it wise to read the evidence carefully and to regard the bible as speaking only to the spiritual aspect of our lives.
I do not think is wise to declare that virtually all of mainstream science is wrong in order to accommodate my beliefs.

Not quite.

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Along with that comes help from the Holy Spirit.
And how does this "holy sprit" differ from "working things out over thousands of years of imagination and trial and error"?
1 Corinthians 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

What has happened though, is that God's gift is used against Him now.
Not much of a gift, if one has to work so hard for it.
And Atheists even deny the Giver ...
Or, they are simply not convinced.
Luke 11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

The "key of knowledge", is Jesus Christ.
If he existed, he's been dead for 2000 years. What knowledge can he impart now?

It is according to the site I listed.
So then, real men of science mostly admit they do not know when it comes to the creation and origins issues. Lurkers are you a real man or a mouse?
