if the world began with Adam and Eve...

"I mean seriously.. Chinese people are fucked up, dont you think??"

I don't know what the hell this has to do with anything, but it made me laugh.

 

Hey, it's definitley possible :cheers2:

 

I’m sorry if my use of the phrase “scientific knowledge” bothered you. I had no intention of calling God’s hand or knowledge short, I was merely pointing out to BlackBillBlake that if God exists, then the people who wrote the OT and lived in an age prior to scientific knowledge, did have a way of knowing about life on earth in the remote past, God could have told them and in fact they were told about some things.

Maybe you should direct this question to the ones on this thread that feel that God should have told mankind about the dinosaurs, because I also believe that God had more important things to talk to us about.

 

I think he loved the dinosaurs so much he gave us his only begotten Cartoon Character Fred Flintstone...

 

that and Barney.

 

God's knowledge I am certain goes considerably beyond what we think of as scientific knowledge - which in the end is only a human attempt to describe the world, in symbols and language which are also a human creation.
In fact, God didn't pass on even simple rules of mechanics - it took until the time of Newton for these to be discovered and systemized by human beings.

We are made in such a way as to be capable of finding out things for ourselves. Some things which pertain to a higher order of being which is inaccessible to us otherwise has been revealed through religions. I mean things like the existence of God, His nature of Love etc. No amount of empirical science could ever find the spirit.

But its useful in other ways - helping us understnd as far as we can the way the external world works on a pyhsical level and so on.
Myself I don't have any problem in reconciling science and Christianity.
What I object to with science is more the way in which technology has been applied, leading now to all these problems of pollution, industrial wastelands etc.
