The title of the article may seem to agree with you, but if you read it you will see that it is also about epigenetic triggers to stimuli and not memories that is in evidence.Memories Are Passed Through DNA From Your Grandparents, Say Scientists
The problem is that there isn't a mechanism I am aware of to apply the "true" interpretation to the Bible.It is amazing they have zip, zero, zilch, nothing to show the Bible is not 100% accurate and true. Then they try to deny the mountain of evidence we present showing how accurate and true the Bible is. They would deny that grass is green and the sky is blue if they thought they could get away with it.

Actually, no we are not at odds. But I can understand why you would say that. We both accept the Bible as literal truth. We both accept the KJV as the only authorized version of the Bible. The area we disagree on concerns Science, not the Bible. I think he is known for saying: Science, can take a hike. If I try to defend Science he will tell me to take a hike. But he still drives a car and goes to doctors and takes full advantage of what Science has to offer.You and AV1611VET both believe the Bible is 100% true... but the details of your beliefs are completely at odds.
Did Joseph and Mary settle in Nazareth after the birth of Jesus so as to be outside Archelaus's jurisdiction (Matthew 2:22-23), or did they live in Nazareth before Jesus was born (Luke 1:26-27, Luke 2:4) and simply return there after His birth (Luke 2:39)?It is amazing they have zip, zero, zilch, nothing to show the Bible is not 100% accurate and true.
I disagree, I believe you and AV have more similar opinions about science than you think.Actually, no we are not at odds. But I can understand why you would say that.

Epigenetics can affect how memories are passed down by changing the way certain genes work in our bodies. This happens when our experiences or environment causes chemical changes in our DNA or proteins that control gene expression. These changes can be passed down to our children and may affect their ability to deal with stress or remember things related to stress. However, this type of inheritance is not the same as passing down actual memories of events that we have experienced.The title of the article may seem to agree with you, but if you read it you will see that it is also about epigenetic triggers to stimuli and not memories that is in evidence.
They moved to Egypt to keep Him safe. After Herod's death, the family returned to Israel and settled in Nazareth.Did Joseph and Mary settle in Nazareth after the birth of Jesus
Very practical... but as an atheist I'm missing the first step of believing the Bible is true and needing to use science to clarify it.We have Science to determine what is and what is not true.
Science determines what is true through the scientific method, a rigorous process of observation, experimentation, and testing of hypotheses. The scientific method involves several steps:
- Observation: Scientists observe phenomena in the natural world, collect data, and identify patterns and trends.
- Hypothesis: Scientists develop hypotheses, which are testable explanations for the observed phenomena. Hypotheses must be falsifiable, meaning that they can be tested and potentially disproven.
- Experimentation: Scientists design experiments to test their hypotheses. Experiments must be carefully controlled and structured to minimize the influence of extraneous variables.
- Data analysis: Scientists collect and analyze data from their experiments to determine whether their hypotheses are supported or falsified by the evidence.
- Conclusion: Scientists draw conclusions based on their data analysis and determine whether their hypotheses are supported by the evidence.
- Peer review: Scientists submit their findings to other experts in the field for review and critique. This helps to ensure that the research is rigorous, accurate, and reliable.
I accept all that... but it is still clearly not a literal memory, but I agree that memory is a not unreasonable analogy for the effect.Epigenetics can affect how memories are passed down by changing the way certain genes work in our bodies. This happens when our experiences or environment causes chemical changes in our DNA or proteins that control gene expression. These changes can be passed down to our children and may affect their ability to deal with stress or remember things related to stress. However, this type of inheritance is not the same as passing down actual memories of events that we have experienced.
The main focus here is on Stress. This stress can be passed from one generation to the next. For example, slaves were put in shackles and this caused stress for them. We have nature vs nurture. The actual memory is not passed down the stress could be. Overall, while stress can potentially be passed down through multiple generations, they have not determined how many generations this will last.
Also, there could be a silver lining and a positive outcome. Usually, genetics work in our favor.
We have our actual ancestors to share their literal memory with us.but it is still clearly not a literal memory,
Actually, most atheists do not even understand what they do not believe in. I usually agree with them, I do not believe in the same things they do not believe in.Very practical... but as an atheist I'm missing the first step of believing the Bible is true and needing to use science to clarify it.
As there were so few follower of Jesus at the time, I've always doubted this argument.The religious authorities of his time saw him as a threat to their power and influence.

Other than seen through the eyes of the believers, it seems to me that if there was an actual "threat to their power and influence" that those first followers of Jesus would have garnered more than a passing mention by Josephus of the Christian sect.John 11:45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. 46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. 47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. 48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. 49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, 50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; 52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. 53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

Science does not claim truth. Science is based on on experiments and hypotheses that are testable, repeatable and observable and is open to change or be modified when when addition evidence becomes available. On the other hand, religious beliefs do not change even when contradicted by evidence. Why don't beliefs change? Likely because those views are closely tied to moral compasses.We have Science to determine what is and what is not true.
