Quote# 37130

Okay as a scientist I am of course very interested in how sciece relates to the Bible. For quite some time now I have wrestled with the idea of the Laws of Science. I have now come this conclusion: there is no such thing as the Laws of Science. That the Laws of Science are a philosophic invention rather than a scientific fact.

So, let me explain. Take an object like a bunch of keys in your hand and let go. What happens? It falls to the ground. Why? Laws of Science says because there is a magnet in the earth called gravity that pulls all objects down. I think it is because God made it drop and if He had not made it drop it would have hovered about in the air.

In other words everything that happens in the scientific realm happens not because of the Laws of Science but by the direct action of God. The Laws of Science were invented by philosophers to explain away God. Look at Psalm 104:14 to find out why grass grows in your garden.

Scientests never use the Bible for answers.

A *real* scientist would never call "science" "siece".

probably a poe making fun of the way christians make no effort to observe the world around them and get their answers directly from the Bible, then call themselves scientists and think that will help their credibility.

as a scientist

Oh really? Let's look at some of the claims made by this "scientist".

For quite some time now I have wrestled with the idea of the Laws of Science.

"Laws of Science" eh? Strike one.

there is a magnet in the earth called gravity that pulls all objects down.

So only magnetic materials are attracted to the Earth? Strike two.

Look at Psalm 104:14 to find out why grass grows in your garden.

And he goes down swinging!

Laws of Science --> Behavior of Matter

So in other words, you're the complete opposite of a scientist.

Sounds like the Flying Spaghetti Monster - He holds everything down with His Noodly Appendage.

What is the difference between a God that makes everything drop, even a one year old who leans too far out of a window and is dashed to death on the sidewalk, and an impersonal natural force? Besides, why couldn't God build gravity into the universe, as opposed to having to hold everything in place 24/7? Even a moron knows that when the wind is blowing it makes more sense to use a paperweight than to stand there 24 hours a day holding his papers down. Alistair must think God is as stupid as he is.

....maybe this "scientist" should find an occupation more suited for his skill set. Like drooling, or staring at a wall.

On the Internet, no one has to know that you're a dog, but we can still tell that you're not a scientist.

You're a scientist (outside of the web) as much as I am a princess.
