What bang?

However, with God, IMHO, the more questions you ask, the more the answers lead you back to Him.

I'm finding the same thing, just from a slightly different angle. The more questions I ask, the more I realize how much I still don't know (science is fun like that ).

Pastor Bob Oliver,
"Secularpast:"

Oh - come on now! I'm being mature with you. Can't you be mature with me?

My Question To You:
Does the bible carry details about EVERYTHING, including math?

 

[secularfuture]

VOW,
"NOTHING has ever contradicted my belief in God."

Not even S.I.D.S. (sudden infant death syndrome)? That’s an entirely different subject though.

Take Care & Keep Learning,
Tony

"S.F. back off!!"

What? I'm sorry. What did I do?

 

[wb3]

My presumption of your previous statement was that you see S.I.D. as something from an unmerciful or cruel God. Have you had a baby die from S.I.D.?

 

[wb3]

OH! Sorry if I seem prying. You really don't need to answer.

"Have you had a baby die from S.I.D.?"
No, but my friend has. I'm not secular because of that though.

"OH! Sorry if I seem prying. You really don't need to answer."
Thanks for rethinking your approach. Secularists have feelings to, ya know. If I did have a child that fell victim to S.I.D.S., I would've been very upset with your questioning.

 

[Pastor Bob Oliver]

Mr. Secular, I'm awful sorry if you thought I was trying to be "immature" but I must say I find most of this discourse to be quite a few levels below immaturity, it get's down right childish around here; but to answer your question about my reading books on the big bang nonsense--I respond with this question to you: "WHY WOULD I BOTHER READING SECULAR BOOKS ABOUT ANYTHING THAT CONTRADICTS WHAT GOD SAYS, I'VE GOT THE BOOK, THE ONLY BOOK THAT HAS "ALL" THE ANSWERS"!!!!!

 

[wb3]

Got 2 Go

Why are you yelling?

Unfortunately, this is a self-defeating attitude. If are totally unwilling to even look at the evidence for "the other side" of a discussion, then you've effectively painted yourself into a corner.

Or, as rule #7 for the science forums puts it:

"7. You will come in here with the attitude and mindset that you are not always right. Stonewallers, and trolls need not apply (and hence will be happily removed from the board). This includes people on both sides of the debate."

Pete: "Now thanks be unto GOD, which always causeth US to triumph in CHRIST, and maketh manifest the savour of His Knowledge by us in Every place; for we are unto GOD a sweet savour of CHRIST, in THEM THAT ARE SAVED, and in THEM THAT PERISH: to the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the Other the savour of LIFE UNTO LIFE!!!

Pastor Bob Oliver
You're clearly breaking rule 7.

And why do you refuse to answer my question:
Does the bible carry details about EVERYTHING, including math?

A book with all the answers? Cool!

Does it say if there is a better coffee icecream than Ben and Jerrys "Form Russia With Buzz"?

And how about that darn broken vitimin C gene? Dose it talk about that and how to fix it?

Also should I wait forthe 2004 dodge truck to come out or buy a 2003?

While I agree that the Bible may have some good spiritual answers, it by no means is a science/history/math book and thus id does not have "ALL THE ANSWERS".

Translation: I'm right, you're wrong.

Yup, you win. Good one.

To Pete:

Absolutely. Only the foolish think they have all the answers. One who is truly wise can see how stupid he really is.


And to Secular:

I think my answer to Pete pretty much sums up how I'd rank SIDS. I don't blame God for killing little babies. But I do recognize there are things I don't yet understand. 500 years ago, people thought "bad air" caused the bubonic plague.

MY problem is in wanting all the answers RIGHT NOW. LOL, it don't work that way.


Peace,
