'Reality as an absolute', is your belief .. and it takes a mind to conceive a belief and is never independent from one.I am discussing reality as an absolute - not our perception of it.
Human knowledge and computing speeds double every 12-24 mos.I believe God stunted the growth of science at the Tower of Babel, since technology was growing too rapidly.
Genesis 11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Thesedays, I'm sure that if someone says it enough times, someone will believe it though ..Well, for starters, we no longer believe Helios pulls the sun behind his chariot.
Undistinguised beliefs .. all of them .. are the true enemy .. and are to be discouraged, (IMHO).That's the scary part. Before you know it, people might believe the Jews are starting wildfires with space lasers!
So?Human knowledge and computing speeds double every 12-24 mos.
Do you think the Tower of Babel recount, demonstrates that the languages we use are our own .. and not God's? AIUI, people were talking amongst themselves before God got angry or something(?)So?
God stunted that doubling cube at the Tower of Babel.
Genesis 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.Do you think the Tower of Babel recount, demonstrates that the languages we use are our own .. and not God's?
You didn't answer my question:Genesis 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
In my opinion, that language was Jacobean English that was spoken.
I can't prove it, of course; but I can speculate.
I guess I don't understand your question?You didn't answer my question:
'Do you think the Tower of Babel recount, demonstrates that the languages we use are our own .. and not God's?'
YES .. or .. NO?
'Reality as an absolute', is your belief .. and it takes a mind to conceive a belief and is never independent from one.
You mean as predicted?Except the whole of human knowledge has grown just as expected.
Had technological growth not been stunted for awhile, they would have had the A-bomb in David's time.HitchSlap said:It's almost like the babel tower is mythical.
Suggesting "David" would have an atom bomb is no less believable as the babel myth. Don't ever forget, AV, with gods, all things are possible.You mean as predicted?
Daniel 12:4 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.Had technological growth not been stunted for awhile, they would have had the A-bomb in David's time.
Of course, I'm be facetious, but hopefully it's to make the point that the growth of science had to be checked for awhile.
That's what the Egyptians thought at one time, until ...Don't ever forget, AV, with gods, all things are possible.
Science reveals Gods mysteries in creation. Just amazing!!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?
Absolutely!Science reveals Gods mysteries in creation. Just amazing!!
Sounds like God was a little afraid of his Human creation.6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
