What is Science? Is it in the Bible?

[Occams Barber]

We can trace our family back to the Vikings in the 8th century. Our family records were destroyed before that.

You've traced your family back to 8th century Vikings?

That must be some sort of genealogical record.

Pity your earlier records were destroyed. Those early Viking Birth, Death and Marriage Certificates would have been a real archaeological find.

My cousin has supposedly traced our family tree all the way back to Adam and Eve, I'm skeptical, but I do believe that that's the record.

 

[Occams Barber]

Maybe it's just me, but I take people who refuse to spell God correctly in a regular English-language conversation way less seriously

There are also Christians who get stroppy if their particular God isn't spelled with a capital 'G'. I tend to take them seriously as a small sign of respect towards their belief.

than I take the viewpoints of scientists on matters of religion...and I don't take most of those seriously at all.

Why is a scientist's viewpoint on religious matters less valid than your viewpoint?

I think you win.

Someday we will have a tree of the entire human race so we can see exactly how we are all related.

Yeah sure.
An ancestor of yours?

They were thrown out of Norway for stealing food. So they worked their way down the coast of England and plundered the churches along the way. When they got to France they were given the land of Normany if they would convert and become Christian. That was when they destroyed the records they had of their pre-Christian days.

Your great ,great....great....great (etc.) grandad wasn't called Rollo by any chance?

An ancestor of yours?

Yes, I am descended from Roger the second king of Sicily. They kept pretty good records of everyone back then. He actually has a million descendants today. Of course, Ghengas Kahn has over 16 million. 90% of China comes from the Han Dynasty going back to 202 BC.

Through Shem, Ham, or Japheth?

 

[Diamond7]

Through Shem, Ham, or Japheth?

Even science tells us that everyone in the world is related to Noah.

 

[Diamond7]

Your great ,great....great....great (etc.) grandad wasn't called Rollo by any chance?

I have a friend that was a Roland. I am pretty sure we were related somewhere along the way. All vikings would be indirectly related somewhere along the way.

It does not.

Ya -- but she sees Noah as a mass of cyanobacteria.

 

[AV1611VET]

It does not.

It actually does, but you apparently wouldn't understand.

I think it's called DNA or something.

I doubt there are scientific studies of genetics that reference Noah.

It is difficult to trace the DNA back that far.

We all started out as pond scum. They say the universe started out the size of a mustard seed.

 

[Diamond7]

It does not.

If you go back 4,000 years every one is related. Do a google search on our most recent common ancestor. There was a school girl that found out all of our presidents are related. Some people say they all descended from a king in England.

The remarkable discovery was made by 12-year-old BridgeAnne d’Avignon, of Salinas, California, who created a ground-breaking family tree that connected 42 of 43 U.S. presidents to one common, and rather unexpected, ancestor: King John of England.

Is ruling in the genes? All presidents bar one are directly descended from a medieval English king

In an incredible family tree it was revealed that all U.S. presidents except for Martin Van Buren are great-grandsons of King John of England, the signer of the Magna Carta.

Then, if you wanted to make a truthful statement, you could have just stopped at "Even science tells us that everyone in the world is related"
