so you think it's NOT obvious or clear that it's not god's plan in the bible for someone to kill their kids.
Interesting data. You make Mormonism seem a bit more rational than 'regular' Christianity (no original sin, no Hell for babies). Questions: Where do you stand on mook's kill-all-the-babies question? Wouldn't I be better off avoiding all Mormon missionaries while I'm alive, then I can just choose Heaven when I get to the Great Waiting Room in the Sky? [And if I find myself in the Great Waiting Room, it would be a pretty easy choice at that point to believe]. Why bother with religion while I'm alive? Is the line in the Great Waiting Room really really long? Are the chairs uncomfortable? Are there forms to fill out? barfo
This is not theory though. The expansion of the Universe is indeed occurring, and in the manner I stated.
it's a misconception that the scientific method requires everything be repeatable or directly observable. it only requires that theories make testable predictions, which the big bang theory does quite successfully. the big bang theory doesn't state that the materials of our universe came from nothing, only that matter in the universe was once quite small and compressed (possibly in the state of a singularity) and then expanded.
Prove it, outside of a mathematical equation. Where is the edge of the universe? Are all things equal in terms of space in that universe? How do black holes work, and what is their impact on the universe? None of those have ever been 'proven'.
No, it's a misconception that "science" now involves consensus and theory, instead of actually using the scientific method and the ideas of replication and repetition. The global warming bunk science has lowered the bar in all other areas of science, outside of perhaps the medical community, where controlled trials still matter. Where did those elements come from? How did they originate? Why is the word "possibly" used in anything close to scientific "fact"?
I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't need to prove an "Edge" to the universe. http://astro.berkeley.edu/~mwhite/darkmatter/hubble.html The expansion of the Universe has been observed and calculated, you're just randomly denying it.
When it comes to God's existence, I've always liked the maxim of, "I'd rather live as though God exists and be wrong than live as though He doesn't and be wrong." It's risk-aversion theology, and it works for me.
There is no political agenda in Quantum mechanics and particle physics, unlike with environmentalism. Further you're confused about some basic stuff.
There are plenty of things that disprove the Bible though. If anything the construction of that book was very politicized.
Hmmm, nothing I've ever seen with credibility disproves the Bible either. I mean, I've seen people take some shots at it, and there is an element of faith to it, but nothing that flat out disproves it.
this is a very common misconception, an untrue one at that. As someone who studies the Bible and owns 8 different versions of it I can tell you that is false.
