Have you noticed TT hasn't said Diddly Smoe about the
Foreknowledge link? I've linked it again just in case TT is getting old and senile and just missed the link the first time.
Reminds me of another poster that used to hang out here. When he was proven wrong - which was often, he ignored you or started calling names.
I've noticed that Bible thumper is coming up quite often in this thread as of late.
Coinky-dinky?
Probably. But who knows for sure....
Maybe science has the answer to this riddle.
Yeah, I didn't neglect your post. Time is/was short.
Your foreknowledge information IS interesting. I will look at that further. It's about time someone came up with
something.
I already have much to reply there but want to learn more in that area before I start typing away.
It is not however evidence of how god is possible as Bimmer asked.
This is not my entire reply on that subject by any means, but what about
Nostradamus or
Edgar Cayce for example?
Also wanted to reply to Tex on the scientific method thing.
Not sure if Tex may have worded wrong or not but....
The scientific method can be applied to ANYTHING. Including god(s).
It can be applied to Santa Claus (busted) or the Easter Bunny (busted) or Rolex watchmakers (confirmed) or anything else.
God(s) too.
The
scientific method can prove god exists if it had something observable etc.
It cannot prove that something does not exist.
No one can prove that god does not exist. No one can prove that Santa Claus does not exist.
Just like there is no evidence for science to prove santa, they are stuck with nothing to work with on the divine front.
If you are asking science to go with the bible and nothing else, it ain't gonna work.
Scientific method refers to the body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. It is based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning.[1] A scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.[2]
I also want to reply briefly to the CMA on how science can sometimes tell you opposite things. That point was not missed and is quite valid.
This is true occasionally and I do find that to be sad. It is not the norm for folks with brains in the science community, but I see it enough.
One day, vitamins are good for you and the next, they are not. There are other things like that I'm sure you can recall.
Nowadays, a slick "study" can prove almost anything. It is still the peer review process that weeds out the bad stuff eventually.
Yeah, science is supposed to be about what is and not what isn't.
