Breaking Up Is Hard to Do, Especially for Continents

I dont believe in the christian "heaven".

Aim for Earth, get Earth.

Aim for Heaven, get both.

Who has the broader perspective on total reality?

That is not what "faith" is about.

 

[AV1611VET]

That is not what "faith" is about.

Faith is believing something, even when science and evidence says otherwise.

No its not, thats delusional.

Faith is about metaphysics.

Didn't some fiction writer say faith is believing in something you know isn't true?

And academia jumped all over that and tried to use it as one of their salient points.

I wouldnt know, and that would be compatible with my statement.

In the article I posted are references to different scientific studies on the movement of continents and rifting of land masses. Are you suggesting that geological events like that occurred only in God's cursed world? The image you posted paints a pristine world. Does it rain in that world? Snow maybe? Are the Arctic and Antarctic free of Ice?

Okay.

Are you suggesting that geological events like that occurred only in God's cursed world?

Yes. God is the One who separated Pangaea into five large continents.

The image you posted paints a pristine world.

Yup.

Does it rain in that world?

No.

Genesis 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

Snow maybe?

No. The earth was a complete tropical paradise.

Are the Arctic and Antarctic free of Ice?

Yes, but keep in mind there was no Antarctic per se, until Peleg's time, when God divided Pangaea up.

Which only leaves the 20% that know less than a first century carpenter.

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Measure twice, cut once.

Science has no choice but to open up windows into God's Creation. That's what science does! That's why so many Christians in the past were the first scientist.

So disrespectful, such a shame for religiius people to claim they
know science, the Bible, and God -if such there be- so well that they they can
override the story written into the earth itself. Besides knowing better than any scientist on earth.
Add in "arrogant", too.

What if God calls these "religiius people" into the laboratory, endowing them with a special knack for quickly learning science?

Are they required to interpret the same things in the earth the way that unbelievers and skeptics do?

Yes, science does not deal with the supernatural. Anyone injecting magic/gods into science is not doing science anymore.

Science is all about data and reality.

[Nithavela]

Western culture has an unhealthy obsession with perfection being equal to immaculateness.

In eastern culture, things are cherished and viewed as beautifull because of their signs of aging, instead of opposing them.

Wabi-sabi - Wikipedia

A waterfall is an image of entropy, with the water eroding the steps and the riverbed at its basin.

The perfection you are craving is a featureless ball of iron hovering in the dark void.
