You need a specific scientific knowledge to produce an airplane.
You need the right formula and the right math. That is what the Wright Brothers had. Otherwise, your boat is not going to float and your plane is not going to fly. As we see constantly here on this forum.

The Wright Brothers were pioneers in aviation and made significant contributions to the development of airplanes. They were successful in achieving controlled, sustained flight of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft for the first time in history in 1903.

Their success was not only attributed to their engineering skills, but also to their methodical approach to problem-solving and their use of scientific principles to design and test their aircraft. They spent years studying the flight of birds and analyzing the performance of existing gliders before building and testing their own aircraft.

In terms of math, the Wright Brothers used a variety of mathematical concepts to design and test their aircraft, including principles of aerodynamics, physics, and mechanics. They also developed their own wind tunnel to test the performance of different wing shapes and designs.

Ultimately, the Wright Brothers' success in flight was the result of their combination of scientific knowledge, engineering skill, and persistent experimentation. Their achievements continue to inspire generations of innovators and inventors to this day.

Quite off-topic, though.

Yes, the Bible is difficult to understand. That is the point I am trying to make. We have to be born again and a new creation in Christ. We need to be filled with the Holy Spirit and lead by the God in what we do, say or think. He is our Comfort, Guide and Teacher. He can rescue, save, heal and deliver us. And all that believe will say, Amen.

I said you are hard to understand, because you mix together various symbolism, fantasy, theology and modern science. The point you are trying to make is unclear.

The first two lines were my response. The rest was a cut and paste because that gives substance to my comment about how and why boats float and planes fly. When you have the wright formula.

I said you are hard to understand,
I took four teacher training classes at the Bible college to learn out to communicate. Two more classes and I could be certified to be a Superintendent.

Well, for the start it would be great to distinguish between "you" and "the Bible". Between opinions and provable facts. Between wild speculations, possibilities, probabilities and truths.

There is actual scientific evidence of created tissue in our own time ( pathologist think so too) in eucharistic miracles
There is actual scientific evidence for of spontaneous remission of cancer in many people that can not be explained. Are they miraculous as many people believe they are.

Despite the lethal intensity of malignant tumours, at times, a 'miraculous' phenomenon occurs: a spontaneous remission of cancer. | Science Direct

You commonly claim that evolution does not know everything. Should scientists give up researching what is not completely understood and just call it miraculous as you do with abiogenesis?

Why, because they contradict your opinions and open you to probabilities you never considered?

Because no fruitful discussion is possible when you do not divide categories properly, each to its appropriate place.

Satan said: "I shall be as God". Our job is to give worship, praise and honor to God.
In the job trajectory that I find way more rewarding to God is to have Him as our reality in life through Love, Compassion, Empathy and Service to those in need.

Are they miraculous as many people believe they are.
If you get results above and beyond what man can do, it is a miracle. Some people believe nothing is a miracle, some people believe everything is a miracle.

No problem, because we have the Holy Spirit of God and He is our Comforter, Teacher and Guide.
It's the guide portion with which we have a problem. He seems to guide different people in completely different directions.

I never heard anyone make that claim. I think that is something you are projecting onto them. IN FACT Paul makes it clear that this is how we can know who is and who is not of God. The divisions show us that. This shows us who is and who is not lead by the Holy Spirit of God.

1 corinthians 11:19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.

Pick any moral position you hold - let's say regarding ssm, abortion, the death penalty, euthanasia...and I'll be able to find another Christian who disagrees with you. God will have guided them in a completely different direction to the way He has guided you.

You cannot be unaware of this.

In science, objective refers to observable and measurable facts that are independent of personal biases and opinions, while subjective refers to personal opinions and biases that cannot be measured objectively. Objectivity is considered more reliable and trustworthy, but there are some subjective aspects of science, such as data interpretation and research questions. Scientists should be aware of their biases and strive for objectivity in their research.

You left one out.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

God is what?

Waiting for Bradskii to find someone to disagree, maybe?

As he said:

In short, every single Christian who ever lived, alive today, or will be alive tomorrow believed "God is."

Including you at one time.

You would need to stretch it into a moral position. The argument made was about regular moral topics and its true that Christians disagree about almost anything.
And you can find many liberal Christians who do not believe in God, they just claim to be Christians due to traditional reasons and moral principles. This is common for example in Scandinavia.
