available data and the mathematical formalism of
general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics".
Dear Santosh,
Your basic error is not to admit the limits of empirical Science, which you
are absolutizing.
1.Mathematical-scientific methods are limited, particularly in respect of
the ever-greater reality.
2.Scientific theories are models that can be revised from time to time.
3.God cannot be empirically verified and analyzed like other objects.
4.Bible does not contradict Science.
5.You need not try to substitute belief in Science for belief in God.
6.The God of the Bible is not identical with the God of the ancient world
picture, with that of Hindu faith, or with the God of the Greek
philosophy...
Fr Ivo has lost the point:
Not every one believes in your bible.
They are stories, linked with the fear of the almighty.
When people RUN OUT OF EXPLAINATION they revert to God and punishment.
The great flood never took place -Where did all that water come from? and
where did it go?
If Adam and Eve were Chinese we would still be in Paradise.
They would have ignored the apple and eaten the snake.
Your bible is in 5 parts, each independtly written by the 5 tribes of
Israel,THEIR HISTORY.
God is mentioned in it to put fear in the people.
In actual fact God does not exist.
Every thing can be explained, its only when our understanding comes to a
halt it becomes 'god only knows', but it does not last long soon the answer
is found to the solution and man moves on to the next problem.
Fr Ivo is stuck 5 steps bacwards in his bible.
Khalik Gibran said.
Parents should not drag their children into their world - for their(parents)
world is the past.
Parents should join in their childrens world for - 'that is the future'.-
Unquote.
Bible and God is the past; in the 21st century - Science is the future.
