Uh-oh. PH has been pinged. Civility is out the door. I wonder how many posts before someone compares Christians to the Taliban or Iranian Mullahs?
"Uh-oh. PH has been pinged. Civility is out the door."
And it started with your own post.
Probably right after the post where someone says that only God should understand the universe.
It is not necessary to compare them with anyone. They have their own history. They are of theology and theology is philosophy. Philosophy is argument for faith and belief in proposed unknowns. Philosophy has produce little or no new knowledge in thousands of years. Christians for thousands or years refused science and math. They refused facts, knowledge and absolutes. They simply would not permit any new methods to determine facts or knowledge if it challenged there faith and belief. They preferred to ride donkeys and remain the same.
It was not until the middle ages that some Christians accepted Aristotelian methods and and science was permitted. Since that time there has been more facts and knowledge determined than in the whole existence of Christians. There has been more knowledge and fact produced by science and math in the last 150 years than was previously known in the history of mankind.
Yet today there are many Christians that still refuse science of would make science adhere to their beliefs or faith. If science produces a new fact of knowledge they simply say I don't believe the fact because it is not of my faith. If possible they would not permit science. They would prefer we all go back to riding donkeys. I would defer. However I would give those of philosophy (faith and belief) Christian their opportunity to refute science. They need only to produce a single new fact that is of philosophy and not science. I await the fact so I may join you............................
