A age devoid of poetic imagination

[theIdi0t]

"Fundamentalists have at least one characteristic in common with most scientists. Neither can understand that poetic and religious imagination has a way of arriving at truth by giving a clue to the total meaning of things without being in any sense an analytical description of detailed facts. The fundamentalists insist that religion is science, and thus they prompt those who know that this is not true to declare that all religious truth is contrary to scientific fact.

How can an age which is so devoid of poetic imagination as ours be truly religious."

Only stupid will say that.

Mark Kennedy claims theology is a science often enough.

I have some good news for my fellow Creationists, the Bible is evidence, theology is science and if you have to choose between empirical knowledge and faith you are capable of grasping neither.

Great quote from Neibuhr and absolutely correct.

Theology is a science.
Religion is science.

Religion is MORE than theology.

They ARE different.

Mark Kennedy, you should be proud that many people remembered what you said.

Even you throw that word around.... Maybe a soci..eh, no point commenting.

It's probably also worth pointing that in another thread, juvenissun labelled geology as art. And now he's calling theology science.

Just to put things into context.

Is theology the logic of God?

Is theology the logic of God?

No.

Theology is the study of the nature of God. The logic of God is God's logic.

Also, logic is not science. Even if theology was the logic of God it still wouldn't constitute as a science.

What?

 

[Mallon]

Is theology the logic of God?

Theology is the study of gods and religion. It is not science because it does not follow the scientific method.

Honestly, I don't know why you're arguing this with me. One page ago, you said that people who equate science with religion are stupid. Are you suddenly changing your tune?

 

[juvenissun]

What?

So, go ahead to tell your professor in political science that his study is NOT science to get some extra credit.

Indeed. I always find your words confusing.

I motion to squelch juvenissun from all forums on the internet on the basis that he makes no sense.

All in favor?

I was kicked out by two other forums before. One is by atheistic evolutionist and one is by classical creationist. Their thinking system are so rigid and fragile and could not take a slightly deeper scrutiny.
