Science is a weak little kid on the block, that is hearing impaired, and 94% blind. The bible is like the hubble telescope, and a master computer, and a time machine rolled into one. It goes to the past, and the distant future in a cosmic rolls royce. But those who are not concerned with the bible, and just science must accept their huge limitations.

So, "dad," I presume you typed this post on a Bible? After all, your computer *WAS* invented through science. The Bible is NOT like the Hubble telescope, a master computer, OR a time machine; the first two were invented through science, and you'd better hope the third is impossible; you'd have no free will if it were. The Bible does not function like a car; you'd need science for that.
So, can you name ONE thing the Bible DOES do for us? The stories aren't that great, the "morality" reeks of primitive times, and the "science" is more concerned with tiny stars, four-legged insects, cud-chewing rabbits, and bird-bats.
Hmmm...where to begin.
Besides that facts that I can't see shit when I try to see through a bible, have a calculator that does more than the bible, and have yet to be able to use the bible to travel back in time (something I wish someone would have told me sooner)...
1. The human mind is considered superior to a super computer ( I don't have a clue as to whether or not master computers are better than super computers, or if such a thing as master computers exist).
2. The U.S. is done trying to save the Hubble and its many problems and are already working on a superior replacement (though one that doesn't scan visible spectrums)
3. Time machines do not exist. They're based on ideas that are not possible.
So, here is what I got out of his argument: The bible, idea that man created, is full of problems, inferior to the human mind, based on ideas that are not possible, and will soon cease being useful.
Why 94%?
So we take 3 parts of hearing impaired 94% blind kids with a weak constitution and we've got something similar to the bible?
If we ad all those into 1 we'll have fully blind, completely deaf children with a very low chance of survival. Thus religion is bound to go extinct within the next 50 years or so.
Good job indirectly ridiculing people with disabilities, asshole. My wife, who is 94% (how coincidental) deaf, has accomplished more in her life than your sorry Bible-thumping ass ever will.
In the quiet words of Richard Cheney, go fuck yourself.
"It goes to the past, and the distant future in a cosmic rolls royce."
Sounds like one of those lousy Sci-Fi Channel movies-of-the-week.
And 94%? Well, I guess you come up with strange numbers when you use the Bible as your computer...
Well, he has one thing right, the bible is like a time machine in that they are both works of fiction.
"dad," next time you get really sick, don't mess with that weak, hearing-impaired, almost blind science. You should just sprinkle some bird's blood on yourself and burn a ram.
"...those who are not concerned with the bible, and just science must accept their huge limitations."
I agree 100%. That's because we're living in the real world and can see that we're limited (even with 6% vision), and you live as if a myth were reality.
[cue rage voice, interrupted by heavy breathing]
Must...enter...realm...of closed, time-like curves...find dad's father...kill him before dad is born...save us all...from total stupidity!
[end rage voice, warmup wormhole-traversing vessel]
WOW~! great analogy there Dad.
So what you're saying is get something with 64K of memory and a hard disk from the early 80's, something that didn't initially work and something that's completely impossible - combine them together and yep!! sure enough, that does sound rather like the bible!
A pile of complete crap that falls apart if you poke at it, based on impossible premises and the best place for it is outer space!
OK let's do this properly.
Why is the bible like the hubble telescope?
* Oxygen gets in the way of those trying to see things with it!
* Fundies only choose to acknowledge the bits they like.
* You had to change it to get it to suit your needs.
* You can never have enough reflective foil.
Why is the bible like a master computer?
* It's power, purpose and existence is in telling brainless slaves what to do.
* It's 'intelligence' is merely anthopormorphing someone else's ideas.
Why is the bible like a time machine?
* It defies every single law of physics.
* It is nothing but a series of wormholes.
* It's impossible to prove.
* Those that defend it are laughed at by scientists.
Hmmm, master computers, Roll's Royce's. Are you sure your name's not Granddad?
The bible only does 8 miles to the gallon?
All hail the Father, the Son and the Silver Spirit!
The bible does indeed represent a telescope, computer, and time machine. It does indeed see into both the past and the future. The problem is that it applies in a universe that is about four square metres. I like living in a big universe filled with uncertainties and unknowns.

<< It's quite ironic that to mock science in comparison to religion, he describes religion in terms that are perfectly scientific. >>

Exactly, AElf. Hence the minuscule black hole where my irony meter used to be.
~David D.G.
I can't believe you people are still using irony meters. Don't you know that irony meters are actually produced by slave labor in Thailand, and because all slaves are actually purposely enslaved by God so they can come to know God better, that every one of those irony meters is being made by a fundie?
"Science is a weak little kid on the block, that is hearing impaired, and 94% blind."
This is a true statement. Science accepts that what it can't see will always dwarf what it can, because the more it learns the more it sees there is TO learn.
Christian extremists are, of course, more along the lines of Terri Schiavo. Their brains have attrophied and necrotized from disuse, and they spend their days babbling meaningless gibberish and 'following the light' until they die.
Science would cure and help that child, science made that telescope, master computer and well a time machine? you are a knob. And the rolls royce? Did God pull that out of his asscrack? I'm assuming that is from where you came to this universe cos I smell something funny in your beliefs.
The Religious Method: Observation, Coclusion.
The Scientific Method: Observation and Conclusion, but it has all these other steps in between, like hypothesis and testing, and you get a completely different answer. Obviously it must be wrong.
It's a fucking book.
Science is an entire logic system.
Cannot compare, especially not to say the Bible is like a tool of science, another tool of science, and something science says can't exist.
"Science is a weak little kid on the block, that is hearing impaired, and 94% blind."
-When all that modern technology is a result of science.
"The bible is like the hubble telescope, and a master computer, and a time machine rolled into one."
-Again, Hubble and advanced computers is a product of science. (weak? hearing impaired? blind?)
I'm not an atheist, I'm a Christian, but I'm not a fundie.
However, you can't reject the deaf computer and weak technology that enable you to defend the hubble telescope that, so far, only has enabled you to....................ok, what exactly?
"But those who are not concerned with the bible, and just science must accept their huge limitations."
Being accurate is a limitation?
Cool, lend me a c-note and I'll pay you back double tomorrow (to standards of biblical accuracy).
The Bible is a weak little kid who claims to be a big strong man, is heading impaired but claims to have perfect hearing, and it 94% blind but claims to have 20/20 vision. Simply claiming your source is infallible doesn't make it infallible, especially when it can be proven to be dead wrong on so many things. Science doesn't know everything, but as Dara O'Briain said, "Science KNOWS it doesn't know everything, otherwise it'd stop!"
Also...just what was it that gave you the Hubble Telescope and the computer? Hint: it wasn't the Bible.
I see.So science is crap, but you still choose to compare your Holy Babble to some of science's greatest achievements (time machines notwithstanding)
Does the word hypocrite mean anything to you? Look it up in the Holy Babble - it was one of Jesus' favourite words.
"Science is a weak little kid on the block" tl;dr...
And yet, that 'weak little kid' has grown up into a colossus that has thoroughly beaten the shit out of your puny little 'God'. It's the men & women of science that have created the safe, clean, modern world you see around you and take for granted today.
It's science that created the very thing you're using to spew your fundie bullshit, dad. It wasn't God who created it, but man . But then , God couldn't create his own money.
Or his own Bibles.
Hell, he can't even do the one ultra-simple thing that everyone else can: exist.
'Rolls-Royce'? Science is the V12 Aston Martin taking us into the future. One without a 'God'. And like those labcoated scientists, is driven by someone in white...:

Some say that he has no concept of stairs. And despite this, just by being there, even he is superior to God. All we know is... he's called The Stig!
Translation of OP: Science is weak, and the bible is like products of science. But those who are not concerned with the products of science, but just science, must accept their huge limitations.
O_o
To the Bible, today IS the distant future. To us, the time of the Bible is the past.
Where is the mention in the Bible of the Hubble telescope, the master computer and the Rolls Royce?
We are concerned about the Bible, we are concerned about what it is doing to people's rationality and sanity.
Get off the internet now and shut down your computer, if you're so pissed off at science.
Erm, you do know that it was science that built the Hubble telescope, the computer and the Rolls Royce, right?
The Bible thinks Earth is a flat disc, that can be viewed in its entirety from a high mountain.
Those who are not concerned with capitalization of names must accept to be viewed as barely literate, and disrespectful to boot.
"hearing impaired, and 94% blind"
If dad here had watched the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Paralympics, I bet he'd have had an aneurysm at the representations of the Big Bang & Higgs-Boson; also how the whole stadium (audience area) became a representation of the Large Hadron Collider.
And, along with Sir Ian McKellen narrating proceedings, there was none other than Prof. Stephen Hawking:
'Look up to the stars, and not down at your feet'.
Words to live by eh, dad...?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
