Many scientists believe is a God of some sort and some idea of intelligent design. But they don't make those views known because the system will find a way to mess up their life.   Ask Guillermo Gonzalez sometime.   A brilliant astro physicist that was marginalized and eventually forced out of Iowa State University because he wrote "The Privileged Planet" which simply made the point that things were set up in such a way as to suggest an intelligent designer.    This all happened right next door to me here in Iowa.  Truly sad what they did to Dr. Gonzalez.  And the destruction of Dr. Gonzalez's career was started and led by the atheist head of the religion department at Iowa State U.

If you want to keep your position, get tenure, or get access to research grants, you will espouse the party line and keep your own personal views to yourself.

The scales of naturalism over our eyes can be thick, obscuring even the view of confessing Christians. I must admit that it has fouled my vision of science and the world sometimes, but when I realize that the problem is with the naturalistic straitjacket that is keeping me from interpreting the data in a better way, science gets exciting because it offers a clear signpost to God.

I do not agree, ignorant are people without knowledge or education (dictionary definition) but they can still be willing to learn, while a stupid person is just simple minded, they can have knowledge in one area, and refuse truth in another - more important area; that makes them stupid! A better word to describe is a fool, and I am not trying to make friends with fools!

 

Matthew 5:22

But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Hi  By all means feel free to disagree with whatever you are disagreeing with. I can only say you agree with what I stated using  your definition. Perhaps you misread what  I wrote, if not then we will disagree to agree on what  I have stated. LOL

That is talking about going up to someone, and without provocation calling them "you fool" Proverbs warns us very clearly about dealing with fools; but we need to recognize a fool first.

That is why I added the word "ungodly" scientists; I agree there are some Christian scientists, and more power to them. BTW: Even tho there are Christian scientists, it seems like its the ungodly ones that get heard.

What did scientists believe throughout history…

 

Egyptian Scientists believe: Pharaoh had to perform a magic spell else the sun would not rise. The sun was rolled across the sky by an invisible dung beetle named Keptry, and eaten by the cow goddess.

 

Viking Scientists believe: The world rests in an enormous tree, at the bottom of the tree is the land of the dead, at the top of the tree is Asgard. It is surrounded by a sea with a big snake. The rainbow is the bridge that connects Asgard to Earth.

 

Greek Scientists believe: Earth is floating in water

 

Roman Scientists believe: Planets are gods that are playing games in order to decide our future. You can learn what the gods are planning by looking at animals innards, and by that predict the future.

 

Anglo-Saxon Scientists believe: Storms are cause by cloud people in the sky, they came in air-ships to steal crops, and used the bad weather as cover. But you could pay a weather-wizard to keep them away.

 

Todays Scientists believe: Somehow the universe was created in perfection my some gigantic explosion. Out of that came the planet earth that somehow can perfectly sustain life. On Earth lived some living goo that turned into fish what then grew legs walked on land, those leg-fish somehow over time turned into monkeys – that somehow meta-morphed into mankind.

 

The foolish, stupidity of ungodly scientists has not changed...!

 invisible dung beetle named Keptry

ATTENTION one and all,  when it comes to science their is one word in the above stated phrase that should stick out .

a hint , its not the words invisible , beetle , named , or keptry .     Hope that makes it clear enough .

but if not one more hint .  Do not whiff a handful of it .

No it is not. Try actually reading the passage.

I have, when reading something like that, you have to read it salted with other scriptures on the topic, like all the scriptures in proverbs that talks about dealing with fools.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
