That's good to know.That's bologna --- even I don't do that.
I don't look to the Bible for the latest facts on Oceanography, nor do I look to the Bible for information on how to drive.
Looking in the Bible for information on how to build a car is like looking in Bill Gate's diary for information on how to build a computer.
... science ...discovers the truth.
I was thinking of my organic chemistry class when I wrote that. Sure, we had to know individual reactions, but it wasn't enough to say what happens when a ketone is exposed to LiAlH[sub]4[/sub] because most of the questions where asking how to make a specific molecule from 2 carbon molecules or some other specific molecule. Knowing the reaction wasn't enough, I had to recognize when to use it and when other methods worked better. And I don't know how regurgitating information is useful when you have to design an experiment, interpret the results, and present it (with Q&A from the professor and class naturally).I do. In my igneous and metamorphic petrology class, one of the girls would make flashcards of every single thing covered in class, and studied them constantly. If you took the cards, picked a random one and asked her the question on it, she could spit out the answer word for word from the card. She averaged 19% on the 3 midterms. She could describe a thin section of a rock perfectly, all textures, minerals, she could define the proceses that caused every texture. But if you asked her how that rock formed, the sequence of events, she was completely stumped.
In all fairness to her, the class average was only 48%, but still. Understanding and being able to apply what you've learned is so much more important than knowing what the book says. AV and Dad could do so well for themselves if they would learn that.
-- education should never stop.
Proverbs 1:7 said:The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
No, it doesn't --- in fact, it denies that truth can be obtained, and even goes so far as to brag that one cannot know anything.
It's where it starts that you guys have trouble with.
You guys are a perfect example of someone who obtains knowledge sans fear of the LORD.
One cannot know anything for certain...
So one can know something "uncertainly"?

You're confusing 'truth' with 'proof'.No, it doesn't --- in fact, it denies that truth can be obtained, and even goes so far as to brag that one cannot know anything.
I think you will find he means one can not know anything (in science) for certain. Ideas, hypotheses, theories are not 100 percent "proven".....ever.

Although science cannot prove anything 100 percent, it does not mean that it is not the truth.Ya --- that's the point I made in Post 42 --- remember?
Although science cannot prove anything 100 percent, it does not mean that it is not the truth.
The truth being equal to 100 percent is not necessary.
John 14:6 said:Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
And luckily for all of us, science ignores the religious stories about creation and discovers the truth.
I didn't say Jesus is not the truth. You are conflating science with religion.And I'm not going to let you blasphemers get away with saying that Jesus is not the Truth ---
--- then turn around and make a statement like this:
Make up your mind --- is science God --- or is Jesus God?
This is what I mean when I say atheists supplant God with nature.
