Hahaha! Ur funny. U think scientist r what they r today or made most of d discoveries they made today based on their strenth and might?Virtualy God is d master fashioner of all they were and r today.Is jst that they lack d wisdom and grace to believe in God, bcs Satan has deprived them d opportunity thereby leading them astray to believe in the maker of Science. God is a mystry to them bcs they r wise in their own eyes. Most of them r occultic and doomed

Then may we remain fools. We're the fools that invented the medicine you take when you come down with malaria. Next time you're ill, forego our foolish medicine and stick with prayer - see how long you last. We're the fools working on eradicating aids, cancer, heart disease - which, if we're successful, will save millions of lives a year. We're the fools whose vaccines are the reason so many children are alive today. We're the fools who have figured out the reason behind tsunamis and earthquakes, and have been able to put warnings in place for the former, saving even more lives.

But science can't solve everything. Science has only given man more tools - to do good (medicine, vaccines), or evil (guns, bombs). But where religion could have triumphed - in foistering morality, and enabling man to use science for good, not evil, it has failed woefully. It might preach love...it's so very good at preaching, but it never acts that way, does it? If it did, the most religious countries would be the safest, nicest places to be (even if they're won't be the most scientifically advanced), but what we get is the complete opposite. That should tell you something....that religion is all in your collective heads.

Hahaha! Lets jst leave religion in this matter. Let me ask u two questions. Do u think scientist, Doctors per say made all these discoveries of medicine and all those things u mention based only on their human efforts and wisdom? If yes then, who made all d herbs and resources they use to make d medicine and all those things u mentioned? Bcs naturaly, virtualy everything has a source or foundation. Science cant make their discoveries on a hollow. All discoveries were made on existing truth, thats y Solomon d wisest man ever afrtr Christ said that, nothing is new under d sun. Our fore-fathers when there was no science were able to heal themselves with herbs better now we have fake drugs everywhere. It is not a matter of passing through d university, bcs most of d scientist which r science initiators did not go to school or r school drop outs.

Yes - I think they made it based on their human efforts and wisdom. Otherwise, it would have been priests, bishops, imams and rabbis etc making these discoveries. But in reality, when scientists like Galileo dared to say that it was the earth that revolved around the sun, it was the church that went about persecuting him and trying to denounce his evidence-based assertions.

Who made these things? you ask. The laws of nature - that's who (or what). Because if God did, and you claim to know him, then what stopped his from revealing the truth of his creation to his followers? Hmmmm? To the people who suffered from leprosy when Jesus allegedly walked the earth, I recall zero passages in the Bible, zero!, that went something like..."oh, leprosy just happens because of these little microscopic organism invisible to the naked eye called bacteria...some antibiotics from this soil fungi will clear that right up..." Hmmmm? And the kid suffering from epilepsy that was mistaken for demonic possession? Hmmmm? The clues are all around you, but the religious are willfully blind to it.

PS: Who said anything about a formal education? The point is that the knowledge that has helped us move forward as a society has NEVER come from divine revelation, but from earthly, human abilities! But you test it out - next time you're seriously ill, forgo medicine - whether modern or traditional and stick to prayer. You KNOW as well as I do, that you will likely DIE.

“Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money!

It goes back to the question: Why don't scientists believe in God, the true God?

simplisity:
May be u r not well informed. Who discovered d genetic law? Who is Mendel and his contribution in d world of medicine. Pls, make a research, although let me not waste time. He is a monk priest, who made his discoveries by God's divine inspiration, i jst want to discount wat u said about d religios. American is what they r today bcs of d scientific contributions of d Jews and historicaly according to d scriptures, they r what they r today bcs of God's divine inspiration and blessing upon their life which was laid down frm generation to generation starting frm when God blessed Abraham and told him that in him all nations shall be blessed. They r peculiar and unique peopl on this earth bcs of God's blessing upon their life and the whole world, especialy the Americans. My brother, have u asked urself, Y Americans rely soo much on jews and r alwas ready to protect them. Do u think Americans dont abide by d bible laws and principles, they r my brother and is wking for them. Search and read original book of Solomon, u will understnd that scientificaly, he made beter discoveries more than most scientist and all these r through God's divine inspirations. My brother, my prayer is that God will open ur inner eyes to see dat virtualy everytin revolves around Him and dat nothing exist without Him. U have not realy answered my question, who made d truth or d nature d scientist based all their invention? Or r they jst hangin there wth no source of existence? Only a fool will say yes.

gatoyi:


Lol - just because someone is a monk makes what they do by divine inspiration? I guess the priests who raped little children also did so by divine inspiration. And the pastors who bleed their followers dry also do so by divine inspiration. As for the Jews, where was God when they were being massacred in concentration camps during the holocaust? Mtcheeew! They do well as a society because they apply themselves! Plain and simple. They don't sit around waiting for "God" to save them or God to help them. I pity whoever willingly worships a God that picks favorites amongst his children, especially when you're apparently not amongst those favourites. Some people used the very scriptures you love so dearly and that same mentality to justify the slavery of your ancestors. Emancipate yourself from mental slavery! And I have answered you question - only a fool will believe that because something exists, it has to be "created" by some creature. If you believe that, then tell me the who created your God? My eyes have been opened - I don't sit around waiting for God to save me. He couldn't save 6 million of his darlings from the gas chamber.

simplisity:
The worst thing that will happen to any man is, when u know d truth, u deviate frm it. U cant light a candle and cover it with a bushel, then wat d essence of lighting it. I can understnd where ur problm lies. It is a mystry to u for u to believe or understand that their is an uncreated supreme being whom everytin revolves around. Do u believe in d existence of d spernatural? Do u believe that there is an unseen beings. Do u believe in urself? If u believe in urself, i wander y u find it very hard to believe that, there is existence of Supreme being. I want to let u know that, u dont use logic on nature and d truth that exist, for example that ur eyes r meant to see, ur nose is meant to breath etc the whole world knew about that, so u dont argue weder d eyes r actualy meant to see. It is an act of folly, if i may say. U said bf and i quote u, that y God is not revealing some of d invention to His priest, Bishop etc, i mentioned Mendel to u as a monk priest inspired by God, ur now using logic on somtin u dont know about, by sayin dat his a monk priest doesnt mean dat his inspired by God. This is a big problm wit scientist, they argue on things they dont know. U cant know everytin no one is perfect, even their so call inventions and machines fail somtimes. If they claim perfect, y havnt they stop tsunami, earthqake, accident, cure to Aid, bein able to produce real blood, heart, etc. My brother am jst tryin to instil d truth in u, as long as u embrace d truth, humble ur self and reject any spirit of doubt about God, the truth shall set u free frm, D more u look d less u see, mental slavery per say. U asked me y God allowed His peopl to be killed. It is also a mystry to u y God allows all those evil to happen to His peopl. Our God is soo merciful, His mercy is beyond any evil u can think of, so He gives Grace to d Evil peopl to repent of their evil, and He prepared a better place for His peopl killed or murdered. So my brother, they r in a beter place in Heaven. Our God is a perfect God. He made and allows everytin for a purpose.
