I'll agree with this on a micro level, but not macro. How's that?

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
I'll agree with this on a micro level, but not macro. How's that?Absolutely! Thanks for asking!
One of the Easter Eggs is the blessings of God opening up the Earth to scientist so that we can understand God's Creating process through evolving change over time. The science involved in the process has even opened up process for medications and many of our geological resources that our society needs such as oil, iron, copper, ect, ect.
The only difference between micro and macro is time. We have observed macroevolution directly. For all of their noise and bluster creationists cannot find a limit to evolution. Heck! They cannot even define "kind" properly.I'll agree with this on a micro level, but not macro. How's that?
Evidence/references please?Do folks realize that God cares about science.
More like a pursuit of consistent thinking .. and integrity.Carl Emerson said:It is simply a pursuit of truth concerning what He has made.
Karl Popper .. (Let's be consistent .. and tell the truth there, eh?)Carl Emerson said:In recent times Carl Popper, a believer, was inspired to define the 'experimental method' which helped to steady the ship of science in the wake of pressure from those wanting to include the 'paranormal' into scientific pursuits.
More like its a privilege to discover the wonders of how we make sense of our own perceptions ..Carl Emerson said:It is a privilege to discover the wonders of His creation, and this learning will never end.
What would you accept as evidence?Evidence/references please?
Spelling - thanks for the correcton.Karl Popper .. (Let's be consistent .. and tell the truth there, eh?)
That is your perception...More like its a privilege to discover the wonders of how we make sense of our own perceptions ..
“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4 (KJV 1900)Hi.
Some see me as anti-science, so I thought I would set the record straight.
Since I do a lot of discussion that is insulting to science, I'll show the positive side of what I think.
I think God gifts us scientists for two major reasons:
1. To seek out and find "Easter eggs" that He embedded in the earth at creation.
My favorite example is the discovery of oil. God embedded oil in the earth during the Creation Week, to be discovered when the right time came. Other discoveries, such as minerals and whatnot make our lives better and keep technology moving forward.
2. To keep religion in check and make sure certain beliefs (religious or otherwise) get nullified.
Alchemy, flat earth, geocentrism, and Phlogiston come to mind here as good examples.
3. Science pursued to its ultimate end will lead to God.
As long as science keeps asking questions with an open mind, it will eventually find the ultimate Truth. Kind of a long way to go about it, but we get a lot of cool Easter Eggs in the process!4. Science can be fun!
Especially for those who are using it to further God's will.
It's when science goes up against the Bible, that I have an issue with it.
Note: Credit to Jacks, my Brother In Christ, for points 3 and 4.
Can anyone else think of a way that science is a blessing in our lives by serving God's purposes?
Independent of what?
.. and they'll still describe what they perceive .. (they're still humans, y'know? .. Sheesh!)Natural Human perception - just ask a blind person to tell you the colours of the cars passing by...
No argument there, Dave.“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4 (KJV 1900)
We are seeing a precise sign of the end.
AV thinks he can gaslight us. lolHi.

Yours is an argument from incredulity. It satisfies or explains nothing.I don't see Science as going up against the Bible ever, but the Scientists who teach that there is no God.
Science alone cannot form an opinion. It gloriously displays a portrait of our Lord and Savior. It ALWAYS points to the Creator regardless of what men of science sadly choose to believe.
If given the opportunity, how would science prove or even test for said explanatory powers?The problem with science is that it has eliminated so very many instances where gods seemed necessary for their sheer explanatory power.
.. and they'll still describe what they perceive .. (they're still humans, y'know? .. Sheesh!)
Explanatory power is in the mind of the beholder. If an explanation works for you, thats explanatory power. I mean, what else could the "power" be about? Its the power to satisfy the explainee, as it were. The explained phenomenon couldnt typically care less.If given the opportunity, how would science prove or even test for said explanatory powers?
Yes and No.Reality is not defined by individual perception... or lack of it.
I believe God stunted the growth of science at the Tower of Babel, since technology was growing too rapidly.The problem with science is that it has eliminated so very many instances where gods seemed necessary for their sheer explanatory power.
Yes and No.
There is group understanding of reality. And in the same breath there is also individual perceptions of reality that develop.
Really?:You miss the point entirely...
Carl Emerson said:That is your perception...SelfSim said:More like its a privilege to discover the wonders of how we make sense of our own perceptions ..
Truth is independent.
No .. we were talking about truth (see the above).Carl Emerson said:Reality is not defined by individual perception... or lack of it.
