Maybe The Scientist and the Christians are right?

this is exactly what we were talking about in my hebrew class a few years ago!!
instead of a "day" there was a period of time! thats how the scientific ideas of evolution and religion might come together! but i guess now days people usually dont get it both ways |

i dont really think either one is right. i dont really think anyone has a firm grip on religion or the origin of the world or anything. you see, i have this theory. i think that when god handed over his original handbook, i believe that it was totally complete. without all the gaps and missing parts any religious document has. and, well, man being the idiot that he be, dropped that original hand book and it broke into hundreds of pieces. everybody wanting their own piece took one. mans inability to work with one another kind of screwed us here. instead of putting all the pieces back together, they took their piece and centered their religion on that basis. and through time and space and what have you, each person that became the guardian of the documents, made whatever change they felt like to warp and twist society into what they thought it should be. so, in theory everyone is right and wrong at the same time. i know thats kind of off beat, but ill get back on track. in regards to the original post, i think that scientists have their rightful place in the scheme of things. for the most part their beneficial, even when the results of their work are catastrophic. but i think they need to steer clear of the whole creation theory. thats not their realm, and i feel that any attempt to scientifically classify, categorize, or explain creation is: A. selfish and B. borderline blasphemous. but as far as us trying to make some correlation between our standards of time and the creators, would be impossible. i mean, the creator is eternal. our lifespans arent even blinks in comparison, so how could we measure time the same?

What says that the creator is indeed eternal? Also, to say that science should not go after the answers to questions of our origin would seem to be misplaced. It can effectively be compared to an orphan who grows to a ripe age before finding out his parents who he has lived with for the whole of his remembered life, are actually his foster parents. He then goes off to find his genetic history. Would you deny him/her the right to know of their ancestry. I can't imagine you would. It is their right to know. As it is ours as a species to find our own origins.
In fact, what you've suggested there, as to it being blasphemous and selfish, I would imagine the same would have been said when people were trying to find out if the Earth was round, or as genetic scientists set out to understand human procreation. As this is also something created by god, that we now understand very well, thanks to scientists in the past. |
