You continue to think that science and Christ are incompatible. Test that. Think through scripture as carefully as you think through science. Recognize what is fact and what is theory and realize that scientific theories change radically, usually over the course of centuries, sometimes in decades, and the old theories most often look laughable and ridiculous. Did volcanoes make craters on the moon? It was in my 7th grade science textbook.

You hinge your belief system on science, knowing that current theories will in a century make people shake their heads and smirk.

God doesn’t change.

I HAVE tested it - haven’t you been reading what I’ve posted? Not a single “Christian” here has even tried to refute what I’ve said - just denied it over and over again and PRESENTING NO COUNTER ARGUMENTS TO MY EVIDENCE AS TO WHY THEY ARE WRONG! And get your facts straight - there WAS volcanism on the moon:

You are illustrating perfectly what I have said previously: That scientific theories are presented, subject to peer-review and revision when new data are presented - as in the evidence of moon rocks being subject to scientific analysis when they were returned by the Apollo missions. This caused those old theories to be revised and made CLOSER to the truth, not further away from it! Science is all about the TRUTH, no matter what that truth may be! At least Science has the integrity to admit when it is wrong (and in your example it was only very slightly wrong, as some craters ARE the result of volcanism several billion years ago.) Religion, of course, has no standards at all to meet, being faith-based. Requiring no proof for your beliefs strikes me as not only delusional, but intellectually lazy as well. And in a century, people will NOT shake their heads and smirk at us, no more than we shake our heads and smirk about the theories for electricity and magnetism in the time before Maxwell published his theory of electromagnetism. They were brilliant, cogent theories that needed a genius to unite them and bring them to the next step. This conversation has degenerated into an enormous waste of time for me. I am really leaving for good this time. I just couldn’t stand it when sirchtruth posted his idiotic denials of everything I said, called ME ignorant with his extremely poor grammar, and, like you, presented no reason WHY I was wrong. Goodbye.
