Talk:Biblical scientific foreknowledge (view source)
Revision as of 22:07, August 6, 2022

::Had scientists and physicians been more [[Essay:Quantifying Openmindedness|openminded]] about Genesis 2:21 (perhaps they had considered it a miracle, and thus impossible for humans to achieve), they may have discovered anesthesia far sooner, and saved many more lives."

God was performing a miracle. And part of God's plan for humanity seems to have been that we would learn over a long period of time. The idea that science and scientists reject what the Bible says is nonsense. Rather God speaks differently to modern people whereas He was speaking to nomadic tribesmen in the Bible. He now speaks to an entirely different audience. The Bible is of great importance but God is the '''author of science'' and its modern discoveries also. To suggest otherwise is blasphemous according my understanding of religious faith. Please fix!! --[[User:RobLeonardWoo|RobLeonardWoo]] ([[User talk:RobLeonardWoo|talk]]) 14:57, August 5, 2022 (EDT)

== Illogical (irreligious?) article ==
I find this article puzzling. Yes, God knows all and it is therefore not surprising that the Bible should appear to foreshadow some scientific discoveries. But there seems to be a confusion. The Bible was written for an ancient nomadic people and so does not speak in the language of modern science. Likewise it is not a manual for building a computer or how to get to the moon. Furthermore while God, as Creator, has absolute knowledge, humanity through science, philosophy, the arts, etc. gradually, overtime reveals more and more about creation. The article needs to more clearly acknowledge human imperfection and that science is fallible, while still being part of God's plan. The idea that if a scientist is an atheist his science is bad is problematic. Think about it. Do we only accept technology or medical procedures developed by Christians." God moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform" (William Cowper).--[[User:RobLeonardWoo|RobLeonardWoo]] ([[User talk:RobLeonardWoo|talk]]) 18:07, August 6, 2022 (EDT)
