And so the disagreements about Daniel's 4th kingdom continue...
some paint the 4 as
Babylon
Medes
Persia
Greece
as opposed to
Babylon
Medo-Persia
Greece
Rome
One thing we are told is "in the days of the 4th kingdom, God will set up his own kingdom, which will have no end"
According to His Word, He chooses those who "fear Him and work righteousness" (Acts 10:34-35).You believe God cant chose who he wants?
Here s a bit of highly relevant current news.Because DNA's ubiquity is another example of DNA's irrelevance.

Every year the Federal Government hands out millions of dollars for "research", which will be done by liberals, with a bias.
We should not be surprised that some of the results are slanted.
That in and of its self does not invalidate the scientific process.
A number of years ago Stanly Pons and his cohort claimed to have achieved "Cold-Fusion". I read the article that appeared about their achievement, to my science class.
A few months later I had to tell the class that other researchers were not able to replicate the experiment, and some of the calculations concluded that if the two researchers had done what they claimed, the radiation produced would have killed them.
This is the way science is supposed to work as a self-correcting mechanism.
Recent efforts to locate Fort Antonia are gaining ground based on the facts.
Joseph Farah of World Net Daily fame recently appeared in a production which shows that the area now known as "the temple mount" is the remains of Roman Fort Antonia.
Where was the Jewish temple?
The Jewish historian Josephus said that Herod built Fort Antonia upon a gigantic rock about 75 feet high. Where is there a giant rock today?
Wars of the Jews by Flavius Josephus, Book 5, chapter 5:
"8. Now as to the tower of Antonia, it was situated at the corner of two cloisters of the court of the temple; of that on the west, and that on the north; it was erected upon a rock of fifty cubits in height, and was on a great precipice; it was the work of king Herod, wherein he demonstrated his natural magnanimity. In the first place, the rock itself was covered over with smooth pieces of stone, from its foundation, both for ornament, and that any one who would either try to get up or to go down it might not be able to hold his feet upon it. Next to this, and before you come to the edifice of the tower itself, there was a wall three cubits high; but within that wall all the space of the tower of Antonia itself was built upon, to the height of forty cubits. The inward parts had the largeness and form of a palace, it being parted into all kinds of rooms and other conveniences, such as courts, and places for bathing, and broad spaces for camps; insomuch that, by having all conveniences that cities wanted, it might seem to be composed of several cities, but by its magnificence it seemed a palace. And as the entire structure resembled that of a tower, it contained also four other distinct towers at its four corners; whereof the others were but fifty cubits high; whereas that which lay upon the southeast corner was seventy cubits high, that from thence the whole temple might be viewed; but on the corner where it joined to the two cloisters of the temple, it had passages down to them both, through which the guard (for there always lay in this tower a Roman legion) went several ways among the cloisters, with their arms, on the Jewish festivals, in order to watch the people, that they might not there attempt to make any innovations; for the temple was a fortress that guarded the city, as was the tower of Antonia a guard to the temple; and in that tower were the guards of those three (14). There was also a peculiar fortress belonging to the upper city, which was Herod’s palace; but for the hill Bezetha, it was divided from the tower Antonia, as we have already told you; and as that hill on which the tower of Antonia stood was the highest of these three, so did it adjoin to the new city, and was the only place that hindered the sight of the temple on the north. And this shall suffice at present to have spoken about the city and the walls about it, because I have proposed to myself to make a more accurate description of it elsewhere."

In actual fact, your example was just one more case of what I was pointing out. That many, if not most, allegedly "scientific" studies have not been made in an attempt to find truth, but rather in an attempt to "prove" a pre-determined conclusion.
"Scientific truth" is wholly inapplicable in judging the simple word of God, which repeatedly and very explicitly states, in clear, plain, language, that the ancient nation of Israel will eventually be restored, both to their ancient homeland and to their God.
I did not and do not question the "scientific method." It is well designed tool for seeking truth as to physical matters. But I did and do say that many alledgedly "scientific" studies have not been well based in that generally reliable method. And even when that method has indeed been followed, it is only a tool for searching for truth, not a guarantee that any final truth has been obtained.

Someone (Elton Trueblood?) has well said to the effect:
There is no conflict between true science and true religion.
Because, of course, they are both true.
And God is the Author of both.
You, however, evidently believe that there is a conflict. But since there cannot be, the error must lie in finite human understanding.
And nowhere is such error more apparent than in the racialist dogmas of ignorance which dispensationalism espouses.
So Blaise Pascal has been wrong all this time. Imagine that.True science does not contradict the Word of God. Since what you are calling 'science' does so, then by default it is bad science.
So Blaise Pascal has been wrong all this time. Imagine that.
Let's get specific.
Describe the "bad science" in the following citation.
Example of the mathematical basis of ancestral genetic ubiquity
It doesn't matter how many people disagree.
hmm...... you have been saying for a looooong time that amillennialism is GodThat about says it all.
Dispensationalism is God.
hmm...where would we find that quote?hmm...... you have been saying for a looooong time that amillennialism is God
Interesting.I think they were talking about people who buy the rapture and believe they will be taken away safely~

John Nelson Darby invented the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine around 1830 AD
Let's have some genuinely scientific and Scriptural discourse, recognizing that God Himself is all truth wherever truth is found.
Blaise Pascal, a scientist and a believer, harmonized mathematics and Scripture.I am a scientist, and you are evidently are not. While I respect science, I know its limits, of which you seem to be unaware. But I respect the Holy Scriptures far above "science falsely so called," and anyone who wants to put "science" above scripture is unfit to represent himself as a teacher of Christians. I am not going to continue this fruitless discussion.
