Bible Prophecy Overview

[Lord Tony®]

It makes more sense to put faith in science than to put faith in a being that has no tangible proof of existence.

[Lord Tony®]

Even if god were real and he showed up one day I wouldn't stand there and worship him. I would rather be my own person than to follow the needs of the many.

although putting faith in science is kind of redundant since science is just true

There are couple ground level 'facts' that you must have faith in before you can trust the scientific method

1) There is an outer world and solipsism is false
2) The results of our tests are accurate

The concept of God is agreeably a rather abstract idea of Someone who supposedly exists. I can definitely see both sides of the story here. I, for one, believe in God's existence and the events and historical happenings from the Bible and that all those people existed at one time. But to a secular viewpoint, why should they believe a book that is thousands of years old just because it has a cult following and "discredits" (what) science?

Just by that question, I've investigated a few strange implausible events from the Bible that seem to contradict science or Earth's apparent history. In most scenarios, there is usually a logical explanation. Even if I didn't identify as a Christian, I'd still consider myself to be a catastrophist (young earth).

[Nonnel]

not sure why it would so concern you if you don't believe such prophecies to begin with.

even if it is "fearmongering", is that such a bad thing? should citizens in europe have simply ignored air raid sirens because they were a form of fearmongering? or should you dislike EBS alerts/amber alerts because they are a form of fearmongering? or should you not listen to the weather channel whenever they say there's a huge storm heading your way because that's fearmongering? SMH.

You're forgetting the difference here which is that war and bad weather and missing children are real

Like I said we could be a computer simulation and our god is just a programmer.

Doubt it, but then again, it's no more absurd than God existing.

What if someone could develop artificial intelligence so real you don't even know if you are real.

[The Resonte!]

lets hack the universe then

Doesn't the Christian god send people to be tortured forever for not worshiping him?
And at the same time allows people to be born into families that believe in other religions?

Sounds like a narcissistic tyrant to me.

It makes more sense to put faith in science than to put faith in a being that has no tangible proof of existence.

I have nothing to lose by believing in a possibly nonexistent entity, so it's not a matter of sense but rather a matter of choice. To be fair, science can't be compared to certain religions because they function on different planes of reality, emphasis on the faith. It's like a trust fall, except you'll be happy or at least content whether you fall or get caught.

[Path]

Most of science is based on theories that are only true as long as everything that our mind perceives is also true. We don't know what's actually beyond our vision so the "proven true" idea of scientific method is a complete fallacy. Religion functions almost the same way, except that you can forge your own existence in any way you see fit, giving more humanity to the empty husk that you might see yourself as.

I'd rather live a fantasy than struggle through a nightmare.
