Christianity and Science

[Piece0fDust]

What's sad is that a lot of Christians actually believe the stuff said in this video.

Science was not founded on Christian principles. In fact, science was very greatly hindered by Christianity, and scientific findings stand opposed to the Bible. Also, as the narrator said, "science is based on the assumption that the universe is orderly and understandable;" in contrast, Christianity's explanation for anything is "it's magic, lol! God works in mysterious ways!"

[cowdude43]

actually Christianity founded science

[WitchShit]

It is christianitys fault we dont have flying cars right now

[foobee2]

Phillip E. Johnson Professor of Law...well I'm certainly glad that creationists are putting forward their best in the scientific disciplines for this video....

[adlerbr12]

These Christians are ether liars or delusional , probably both .

[adlerbr12]

Nothing about this arrogant Christian claim could stand further from the truth.

[adlerbr12]

Just because Christians did scientific work has nothing to do with the founding of science. Not only does it not follow, but science existed long before Christianity, practiced by the Ancient Greeks and Romans. Nor did science derive from the pagan religions as even then,

[adlerbr12]

scientists sometimes held views contrary to the prevailing religions. The ancient theological opponents did not have the encompassing institutional power as did Christianity during the Dark Ages. The historian Richard Carrier observes, "In contrast,

[adlerbr12]

the groups that opposed science in classical antiquity were small, few, rare, and ultimately powerless. That is exactly the opposite of what happened under Christianity." During the medieval period the little science that did occur progressed with little religious influence or, in most cases, in spite of Christianity, but not because of it.

[Kalevala87]

Common place among professional historians? I wasn't aware of that. I suspect because it's bullshit.

[seeker6789]

christianity allowed science to flurish? What a joke. How many people were locked up and tortured in the middle ages for saying the earth was round and goes around the sun? How many books were burned. Yes christianity has been right there blazing the way for the advancement of science........ : P

[drinkmoresoda]

this is amazing that this argument is still used when the courts said it was crap

[BrooklynRagtag]

It is a little frustrating to watch people talk about something they don't understand. This is especially true when they speak with such confidence.

Who believe that God is dead? Watch "GOD PICTURE ID PLEASE" on YOUTUBE. Raise educated issues. Argue with yo1dude1man who wrote "Organized religions are misdirected. To me DMT God 3.0 is the revelation of Christ power within us." Paste this MESSAGE in comment boxes of those not brain dead. Humanity must know God Jehovah is now on earth in person to partner with those with brains, reconcile all religions and atheism, to raise the world to the next level of civilization. Happy Holidays.

[YAVUZ270976]

ok they mentioned how there is god, but wheres the link between science and christianity? if christiantiy supported science why would the bible say that the earth is in the centre of the universe, and the earth is flat? doesnt that imply other things? can somebody please explain

[luke2thab]

@YAVUZ270976 No, it never said any such thing. Here are some scriptures that point out that Bible writers knew the earth was round:

Job 26:7-10: explains that the earth is suspended in space, the obvious comparison being with the spherical sun and moon. A literal translation of verse 10: ""He described a circle upon the face of the waters, until the day and night come to an end."

Isaiah 40:21-22 describes "the circle of the earth."

[flyleb]

@luke2thab yeh but u know that the earth is not a circle, thers a flat part in it...

Demb-ski looks like his head has grown two sizes to big for the lower half of his skull. maybe his body is rejecting his foolish brain activity.

[chwadazat]

christianity sprang from the Neoplatonists not from the jews who most certainly did not originate monotheism. 85% of judaism was plagiarized from the Sumerians, Africans, Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians and the Greeks. The jews manufactured the "exodus" and the "ten commandments" to overwrite the Code of Hammurabi. The fake hebrew bible characters were all manufactured to overwrite real historical Egyptians such as Amenemhet>>Abraham, Tuthmosis>>Moses and Imhotep>>Joseph.

[woodster2k1]

@chwadazat oh yea, because you were there. Right... I believe you. lol...

Pure garbage science. 1 star

Ever notice how real scientists don't use lawers to get their ideas into the classroom?

[xalysta13]

Germs are a fairy tale, & germ theory is just a crafty ruse to give germs plausible credibility. Those of us who truly understand the nature of reality, know that it's in-fact transient pixie-dust which causes all disease & infection. Stupid scientists & doctors & their idiotic, backwards beliefs about germs & germ theory, lol.

[trankil3000]

@xalysta13 the stupiest comment i have ever read :DD

[xalysta13]

@trankil3000 I'm assuming that you caught the seething sarcasm in that comment (^_^). It's just an amusing, sarcastic analogy of how many theists comically reject/skew/pervert the mountain of evolutionary evidence, simply because it's inconvenient with regards to their simplistic, mythology-based belief system.

[trankil3000]

@xalysta13 shit.. i didn't saw lol :D sry ;D

[iToyRobot]

evolution is a fairy-tale

[jbbremerton]

yeah, for no reason a big explosion eventually makes a frog that eventually becomes a handsome prince.

[cre8ivchurch]

There was a lot of dishonesty in this video, due to the mountains of evidence supporting evolution. Just because we believe God created everything, doesn't mean we need to reject evolution. What some people don't understand is that we can believe in a God that is ultimately responsible for natural processes, and take the Genesis account as metaphor/parable and still call God the creator.

[therealtony]

well said.

[JAMRAND]

There are mountains of evidence for change over time.

There is little evidence for the argument for the darwinian hypothesis.

insertion position of the erv in the chimp and human is its strongest.

The fossil record only backs the darwinain hypothesis because the scientific method has to try and explain everything naturalistically . What other option does paleontology and taxonomy have.

What other naturalistic conclusion could they derive. The method demanded its conclusion

[RighteousPaladin]

Which parts of the Bible (by which we know God) are true if the incredibly specific claim that God created the earth in 7 days is a falsehood or a mistake?

Biased speculation created to justify racial bias is not a means of divine revelation.

[OOPS4U2CNOW]

Six days Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

[RighteousPaladin]

I am uncertain if you meant to respond to me or not. My (very old) post is a rhetorical question in reply to someone that is stating that scripture may be mistaken in its specifics. I am in complete agreement with with the Genesis account.

[urantivirus]

@cre8ivchurch

Wow, the people using this channel really don't want to learn. Even suggesting that both could be true gets you thumbed down. Truly sad.

[therealtony]

Why do people laugh at creationists?

[jbbremerton]

sinners are sent strong delusions so that they believe the lie.

[cre8ivmind]

So in other words, God put the evidence there to test our faith.
