1). Did science precisely predict this Covid outbreak? 2). Has is saved us all from it since?

If certain religion and it's one and only God's teachings aren't useful, then why should science and it's 3). "God particle" be the one and only that's useful?

1). Yes..depending on what level of precision you are inquiring about.  Virologists and coronavirus experts have long predicted these outbreaks.  It's not a matter of predicting if but predicting when.  And new coronaviruses show up every year. They've documented 500 coronaviruses in bats alone.

2). Scientific applications are not an immediate process.  It can take years to develop a vaccine.  But our scientific understanding of what the virus is, how it spreads, how it infects, how long it incubates, how long it survives on surfaces, etc....have saved millions.

3). You do know that nobody in the scientific community actually calls the Higgs-Boson the "God particle"?  That was the title of a 1993 book by physicist Leon Lederman.  He called it the "The God Particle" because it would help book sales and his publisher wouldn't allow the original title he wanted. - "The Goddamn Particle"

Does anyone find it ironic that we are literally living in an era where some people are 1). claiming that it is impossible to distinguish what a male human is from what a female human is, but it is the religious people that are irrational?
2). I mean I could totally believe that Moses parted a sea with a stick before I believe someone in good faith is trying to argue that we cannot distinguish males from females

1). So you miss the point.  Male and female are genders.  Not sex.  Though they share a ton of overlap, one can be biologically male and have more qualities of being the female gender, vice versa, or both.

For example...is this person male or female?

2). Can you provide a rational explanation for how Moses parted the Red Sea?

"So you miss the point.  Male and female are genders.  Not sex."

Oh well that's interesting so what would you call man and woman?

" one can be biologically male and have more qualities of being the female gender"

which qualities are you referring to?

"For example...is this person male or female?"

This is to make what point? Why not just come out and state what your argument is? Which is supposedly that what? There is no meaningful difference between the sexes? Well yes that's what I've saying is a claim that is becoming normalised in the left, so why are you arguing with me since apparently we agree?

Within any rational philosophy I'd expect people to acknowledge that EXCEPTIONAL cases should not be used as a baseline... after all even though 10s or maybe even 100s of 1000s of people die each year from driving, we haven't banned that yet... but somehow that's not obvious when it comes to this issue

"Can you provide a rational explanation for how Moses parted the Red Sea?"

I said that I believe its possible that there is an unknown mechanism which exists within the universe that could have allowed Moses to part the red sea, since we do not know everything there is to know about the universe then the possibility exists for there to be unknown mechanisms
