I have to ask, God's best plan to communicate what should be a a very important message, is some crusty old compilation of books? Like he couldn't have found a more convincing way for everyone across all ages to come to conclusion that the Christian god exists? Even if he wants to use a book of all things (which marketer would rely only on a book to market their product these days?), he should've wrote it himself in some magical universal language and added some pizzazz. It should be attached to your body from birth. Also, when you open the book, it should immediately blow your fucking mind. There should be a radiant light and an angelic chorus coming out of it and shit. Instead many people sit there reading it, bored out of their minds. Falling asleep in church and shit. Every once in a while there's a genocide or some sexy time to keep things interested, but I would expect more from THE LORD. |
a. Actually, there is scientific evidence of a great flood (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/evidence-suggests-biblical-great-flood-noahs-time-happened/story?id=17884533). Whether or not that proves anything is arguable.
b. If everything was spelled out and clear, there would be no need for faith. He doesn't want to convince everyone with certainty, he wants you to doubt and he wants you to test your faith. You seemed to have completely missed the point. Everybody acknowledges that religion is, by definition, unscientific. It cannot be proved wrong, and it cannot be proved right. Some people may use that and say "it cannot be proven, therefore I will be an atheist," and that is a perfectly acceptable conclusion to come to. I don't see why people need to try to deny other people of their faith though.
If you try to use the Bible as an argument against science, I will be among the first to tell you how wrong you are, however, if you try to use science to counter someones faith, I wont really take too kindly to that either.
