Hi John Clark Theology was once called the queen of the sciences, but that was just a power rating.
Theology is not a science, it's closer to but different than philosophy in that theology is, or should be, based on scripture. God's teachings, not man's. Philosophy deals with belief and reason, moreorless. Theology deals with faith and scripture.

It's a very strange science, it's a science that does not use the scientific method and, not surprisingly, a science that has discovered absolutely positively nothing about the nature of the universe despite working on the problem for thousands of years. However I will admit that theology's rate of success is every bit as good as that other "science", astrology. > Aristotle hypothesis of the existence of a primary universe Face reality and get with the program, Aristotle didn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. > Plato's questions are at the origin of science.

Yes all the great scientists were wrong about something, but unlike them Aristotle was not just wrong he was also certain; he was so certain that men have more teeth than women he didn't bother to look into his wife's mouth. Even 2500 years ago that was lousy science.? > Again atheism goes hand in hand with the fundamentalist christians and > muslims. [...] I don't buy your religion, John.
