Why do people thank God when good things happen but don't blame him for bad stuff

[maracho]

Science is not religion. It is facts and when something comes along to disprove something earlier believed, we have no problem admitting we were once wrong and accept the new proven facts as true. Kind of how the sun was once thought to be the center of the universe, until more information was discovered in later centuries.

I don't have to elaborate, since scientists have already done so and you'll always point to your book of fables as some sort of evidence, which it is not.

The sun being the center of the universe was based on pseudoscientific pride by the very Greeks who formulated Darwin's Theory of Evolution of "favored races". The Bible however showed both of these assertions wrong thousands of years ago.

Anyway, how is Evolution a science when it failed the emperical hypothesis tests multiple times?

So then you admit that you dont choose what to believe, which simply makes you a state sanctioned yes-man.

Take some advice, dont listen to everything the government and their teachers tell you and you'll go much further

I don't. And don't believe everything your church tells you and that you read in the bible.

[Anthony342]

He said archaeological evidence but then yes the father of history and anthropology, Herodotus studied archaeology as well

Tell you what, why dont you and the other antichristians try to disprove something biblical? Because you cant..lol

As soon as you can prove there's a God and that Jesus came back to life days after he died, then I'll think about it. But you just keep throwing things back at me because you know you cannot.

Again, plants and animals and the finally turned universe working in tandem prove that God exists

You gave no argument

No, they don't. That's science. So you're the one with no argument.

Yes, “real” science is “our” argument but your articles below are full of faithbased lingo

"Plants and fungi evolved from single-celled ancestors, as well as dozens of other familiar lineages, from brown algae seaweed to slime molds"

Your New York Times article indicates intelligent design by God is scientific while evolutionism is faith based pseudoscience, paraphrased for context :

“As improbable as it might seem, our ancestors a billion years ago probably were a lot like Capsaspora…..From single-celled ancestors, they evolved into a riot of complexity and diversity. An estimated seven million species of animals live on earth today,…. The intermediate species that might show how that transition took place have become extinct….“We’re just missing the intervening steps,”…. Now scientists are trying to figure out how a single-celled organism like Capsaspora or choanoflagellates became a multicellular animal. Fortunately, they can get some hints from other cases in which microbes made the same transition. Plants and fungi evolved from single-celled ancestors, as well as dozens of other less familiar lineages, from brown algae seaweed to slime molds. Primitive multicellularity may have been fairly easy to evolve…..they found a gene in Capsaspora that’s nearly identical to the animal gene brachyury. Dr. Ruiz-Trillo and his colleagues have no idea what Capsaspora is doing with a brachyury gene. They’re now doing experiments to find out; in the meantime, Dr. Ruiz-Trillo speculates that single-celled relatives of animals use the brachyury gene, along with other transcription factors, to switch genes on for other tasks….Studies by other scientists point to the same conclusion: a lot of the genes once thought to be unique to the animal kingdom were present in the single-celled ancestors of animals. “The origin of animals depended on genes that were already in place[yes, preexisting blueprints by God],” Dr. King said. In the transition to full-blown animals, Dr. King argues, these genes were co-opted for controlling a multicellular body. .

"Between 620 and 550 million years ago (during the Vendian Period) relatively large, complex, soft-bodied multicellular animals appear in the fossil record for the first time."

This article likewise indicates intelligent design by God is scientific while evolutionism is faith based pseudoscience, as paraphrased for context:

“we have a number of features in common with all the organisms placed in the animal kingdom, and these common features indicate that we have a shared evolutionary history [This actually indicates that they share the same intelligent designer using intact non-evolving genes]…. Compared to prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria, plants and animals have a relatively recent evolutionary origin. DNA evidence suggests that the first eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes,….Between 620 and 550 million years ago (during the Vendian Period) relatively large, complex, soft-bodied multicellular animals appear in the fossil record for the first time… The large variety of Ediacaran animals is significant, as it suggests there must have been a lengthy period of evolution prior to their first appearance in the fossil record….

Charles Darwin once said " We do not know the ancestors of the Vendian faunas well, and like the Cambrian biota it appeared suddenly in a "complete state" . This is why top evolution gurus Gould and Eldridge came up with their theory of punctuated equilibrium to explain the utter lack of intermediates in the fossil record. Scientists usually label fossil layers according to geologic eras based on index fossils but they should be labeling them as eco zones. For instance the Cambrian is a seafloor zone that always contains seafloor critters.

This article likewise indicates intelligent design by God is scientific while evolutionism is faith based pseudoscience, as paraphrased for context:

“ the era called the Cambrian Explosion, which produced the first fossils of almost all major categories of animals living today. [this explosion of life indicates sudden creation] "An increase in land plant abundance may have occurred at the time just before the period known as the Cambrian Explosion, when the next Snowball Earth period failed to occur because temperatures did not get quite cold enough," Hedges says. "The plants conceivably boosted oxygen levels in the atmosphere high enough for animals to develop skeletons, grow larger, and diversify."..Lichens are believed to have been the first fungi to team up with photosynthesizing organisms like cyanobacteria and green algae."

Not sure where you’re going with this one but the universe is a finely tuned machine that only God could make

I'm a big fan of Buddhism. Their reincarnation stuff is no more or less believable than the concept of heaven and hell.

Nazi Occultism also promoted elitist reincarnation with many of the top brass thinking they were reincarnated villains of renown. Hitler himself believed he was a reborn antichrist known as Klingsor/Landulf II of Capua who betrayed Christianity to the Moslem invaders of Italy and Spain. Actually beliefs of reincarnation wouldnt really hold to the laws of thermodynamics since they believe human energy returns transformed to either lesser or higher forms depending upon one's sins, ethnicity and race. For instance, under Hindusism and Buddahism a whore monger would return as dark skinned human or as an animal. If really bad you go to hell. A dark skinned person could return as light skinned if they practiced good Karma.

Actually plants and animals and the finally tuned universe proves evolution is real.

If evolution wasn't real, farmers would use the same pesticides and herbicides they did 100 years ago. They don't because the insects and bugs have evolved to be resistant to these chemicals. Same thing with diseases, like super gonorrhea. They have evolved to become immune to antibiotics. Living things evolve. There is no doubt about that.

It is impossible to know if a God or Gods created everything or if it all just happened. We can't know if God created the Earth or if the Big Bang, some luck, billions of years, and evolution did.

But we do know evolution is real. Look at the different breeds of dogs. Dogs have been bred for different reasons and evolved to become better at the tasks they were used for. Look at bacteria. Look at insects. Look at the different colors of skin. White skin, suffers damage from too much exposure to the sun, but allows people to get more vitamin D from the sun. This would naturally happen in colder climates with less sun. Black skin protects against harmful uv rays from the sun, but only gets low amounts of vitamin D from the sun. This would explain why black people were found in tropical, sunny climates and whites are found in colder climates.

To argue that evolution isn't real is beyond ******ed. Again, one can argue how the Universe began, there are different theories, none of which can be proven or disproven. But evolution is real. There is no doubt about that.

From the King James Bible.

Genesis 1:27 "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

Genesis 2:21-22 "And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man."

So was Eve made with Adam, at the same time, and the same way, as Genesis 1:27 states? Or was she made from Adam's rib as stated in Genesis 2:21-22?
