Religion and Science

Pretzel’s reaction …. worth the post IMO
“In only the last 90 years, science went from believing the Universe existed in a “steady state,” while mocking Big Bang Theory for almost two decades (“Ha ha, you’re a Steady State DENIER?”), to believing in the Big Bang and assuming the Universe would stop expanding and ultimately contract (due to gravity) in a “Big Crunch,” to believing the Universe is instead accelerating in its expansion, to believing maybe Big Bang Theory is entirely wrong.
Lesson? The church should never try to build itself around the science du jour. The point of science is constant change. The point of religion is to bring stability through enduring values that are unchanging. Science should remain subservient to values, not the other way around. Something that is, by nature, in constant flux and always at war with itself (science) can be a great servant but makes a poor master.”
pedro adds … But Klaus and Hariri think they are nearer to God than the rest of us. Obviously.
Great points and observations…from both of you.
Something to ponder for sure
The Cretins want to use “Science” which is all guesswork and imagination to try to refute Religion and Spirituality
We need to get back to Spirituality and use “Science” within that paradigm .
Obviously there is Devine Creation ….none of this incredible world is just an accident of a bunch of rocks flying around and banging into eachother for hundreds of billions of years….Give it up already “Scientists !”..sheesh
Start from the premise of Divine creation…There is an Intelligence behind every atom and every solar system and beyond that is so far superior to any intelligence YOU think you have …You are an ant on the Elephants ass .
This “Pope” is a Dope…He is defering to Bullshit “Science” over the Spiritual Source of which he is supposed to be a leader …
Just as we need to be our own Doctor we need to be our own Spiritual Advisor..These “Main Stream” Spiritual leaders are as full of shit as anybody….they want to control
World is becoming crazier by the day…
