At one time there was supposed to be gods who personally grabbed lightning bolts and hurled them like a spear. Science disproved this claim)
Oh, science has disproved that now, huh? Moses didn't do it? Elijah didn't do it? But your science did. Well, good. Just put your trophy up there next to Hubble's. We Christians know better.

When your science ever catches up to the Bible, then you'll have something to say --- but you've got a long way to go.

Let's see you use bible quotes to walk on the moon, or put a working telescope in orbit, or make a fridge, or generate electricity.
Let's see what each have contributed to society:
Science: Electricity, wireless communication, space exploration, vaccines against horrific diseases, modern medicine, and many other things we take for granted every fucking day.
The Bible: An antiquated, idiotic moral code that says people should do things simply because "GOD SAYS SO" and a bunch of silly myths that are easily disproved using physics.
In other words, science generates incredible technology and the bible generates epic fail.
Bible:
Nope, Moses didn't do it, Elijah didn't do it and your own holy book says God holds lightning in his hands.
Science: image
Let's be blunt --- your "bible" is way behind the times. Hawking runs rings around your God, as well as your false prophet, Jesus.

That was rather easily fixed...
and well said aaa
Ben Franklin pretty much rendered your silly old prophets obsolete.
Become one with a compost heap, AV.
"And since when has science had prophets anyway?"
Well, scientific theories are supposed to be predictive. So when you think about it in that context, Newton, Einstein, Schrodinger can be seen as prophets. The only difference is that their 'revelations' came to them through experimentation, rational thought and logic, AND they actually serve a purpose.
You Christians know better? Be careful what you say...
"...supposed to be gods who personally..."
And you just agreed to that, AV. Whoopsie! Looks like eternal damnation for you!
When the lightning rod was first invented a lot of fundies refused to put one on their churches. They thought lightning rods were the dibble thwarting God's will. Eventually, it sunk in that lighting always hit the church without the lightning rod; not the saloon that had one. God never rewards stupidity.
As for the Bible's view of lightning, the Arab goat herders who wrote it appeared to think that thunder caused lightning; not the other way around:
(Job 28:26) When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
(Job 38:25) Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
John wrote: "the Arab goat herders who wrote it appeared to think that thunder caused lightning; not the other way around: (Job 28:26) When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:"
That may be a bit harsh. When one talks of the 'father of the bride' we don't mean to imply some sort of weird time-travelling incest has gone on.
Yes, I think it was Science who said, "It's just like rubbing this glass with fur, except lightning doesn't look like I'm whacking off the glass. It's pretty funny actually... Cuz then it discharges... ZZZt"
Um, we don't have to hurl lightning bolts to know it's impossible. In fact, if we could, it wouldn't be impossible. Where did you find this logic anyway? Do you even know what science is?
Of course, because your "Bible" has built the computer you write this on, and the car you move in, the stars you mistake with angels(and that doesn't appear in the Bible)and a method to translate better a Bible where you see that Isaiah never gathered any thunderbolts a la Odin. He just summoned God to send one.
"In other words, science generates incredible technology and the bible generates epic fail."
On the other hand, this post generates epic win, and is thus more useful than the bible.
"When your science ever catches up to the Bible, then you'll have something to say"
Yes, we'll say "Come on slow-coach, you're a whole lap behind now!"
"Oh, science has disproved that now, huh? Moses didn't do it? Elijah didn't do it? But your science did. Well, good. Just put your trophy up there next to Hubble's. We Christians know better."
Has anybody taken the time to check that AV isn't under the impression that science is an entity that flies around making things happen?
It's typical of fundies that they can't understand anything except as a twisted mirror image of their own religion. This is why they seem to think things like the age of the earth and when the dinosaurs died and the distance to the sun are arbitrary numbers - because they pull shit out of their ass, they can't imagine scientists do it a different way. They think atheists believe in the origin of species the same way they believe the bible is true - they are required to believe in order to belong to the religion.
I think he was talking about Zeus, buddy. There WERE other gods and religions before your half-assed, mish-mash one showed up, you know.
"When your science ever catches up to the Bible, then you'll have something to say --- but you've got a long way to go."
Sorry, science has outdone the Bible already. So many people have plenty to say.
Ben Franklin, Nikola Tesla et al. for the win.
I said this of someone else's post recently, but it's even more applicable here: This guy is so far behind, he thinks he's first.
AV1611 your homework assignment is to look up science, Edwin Hubble, Scientific Method, the prophet Isaiah, Zeus, Thor, Moses, and then to invent a coherent, intelligent statement using all those words. The one you have here is stupid, untrue, and shows a desperate lack of knowledge of the meanings of those words and the contributions of those individuals.
sorry AV, stupidity has yet to turn to intelligence. I know polarity shifts sometimes, but I dunno if you should be holding out for your immense stockpile of retarded to turn into brilliance any time soon (ever).
David B and Blayze. Firstly David B lets say that your right and Bible beats science. You're believing in a God right? So what's wrong with any other God in religions? Plus before the bible we had great civilation that discovered new ideas through thinking not reading a book. Yes I said it. We then have other wonders not even mentioned in bible. The bible says being a witch is wrong. Says keeping slaves is right. Thinking and logic had taught us this is wrong.
Now Blayze I split my head open I went to the Hospital not to some Church. Churhces don't have anesthetic nor sterile equipment. So really you're talking absolute rubbish quit generalizing. And enter 21st Century sheesh! Both of ya, we've done more with science than with the bible. Oh and flame me i don't care. I'm not replying again.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
