I find it strange that they made you a "guardian" on this forum with the knowledge that you would subtlety persuade us to see the world from your perspective. This quote goes against the Christian God, who has revealed Himself to us through the Bible alone and revealed to us in it that men are not to use their abilities to achieve that which threatens Him (remember the Tower of Babel?). Science has rendered God unnecessary for the universe and for the existence of mankind. That is far worse than building a tower, so its hard to imagine God is approving of this.

Stop using the computer! Go live in a cave, and don't even try and start a fire to keep youself warm!
Afterall, God really hates it when you use your brain.
I love it when fundies make my points for me. "Science has rendered God unnecessary for the universe and for the existence of mankind."
It still surprises me how often they make their God sound feeble, apparently without intending to.
As a side note, this whole internecine fighting thing is somewhat nifty with regards to fundamentalism.
"Science has rendered God unnecessary for the universe and for the existence of mankind." Yes indeedy.
If God stopped the Tower of Babel, how come the Empire State Building is still OK? Surely God must have known the ancients couldn't build anything more than a few hundred feet tall with baked mud-brick and bitumen. Why didn't He just shake his head, roll His eyes and walk away?
Yet science does exist, therefore if your omnipotent God exists, then he must approve of it, even if you don't(and he might be pissed that you are trying to put words in his mouth).
So tall buildings are like kryptonite to God, not to mention chariots of iron.
And don't forget condoms :P
Lovethyneighbor: "Science has rendered God unnecessary for the universe and for the existence of mankind."
No, the universe has rendered God unnecessary, in fact God was never necessary in any way. Science is just discovering it.
John: "If God stopped the Tower of Babel, how come the Empire State Building is still OK?"
Yes, and what about the International Space Station? And the language barrier isn't really that bad these days...
That's pretty interesting, actually... Are these people taking the Tower of Babel literally and how do they manage to do that?
Heh, Tower of Babel...
Ever heard of skyscrapers, kid?
Also, your particular badly-translated version of that particular oft-edited and incomplete religious text is not evidence for anything. If your (or my) God(s) personally tells me otherwise, I'll reconsider. Fair enough?
I'm seeing two basic points in that posts:
1) Bible stories are ridiculous.
2) God is not necessary for the universe or for the existence of mankind.
I think the atheists in that forum are just toying with the Christians.
Neither lovethyneighbor NOR follower are poes. I post on that site a lot. They are legit.
Btw, she's referring to me in that post.
In that case, be consequent and don't use this computer, won't you?. And don't blame him for being what you're not, INTELLIGENT.
Since God is doing nothing to stop science, he seems to approve, or he realized he was unnecessary and left for another universe.
Science is making (most of) us live longer and healthier lives. It's fairly easy to imagine God approving.
That is far worse than building a tower, so its hard to imagine God is approving of this.
Then why isn't he doing anything about it? In the olden times he was so quick in dishing out divine retribution. And today? Nothing.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
