Pitting science against religion is obviously stupid and myopic. It's an admission that science is either the same as religion or being abused simply for atheistic ideological propaganda. You don't fight oppression with yogurt. You fight fire with fire. If you can't beat 'em join 'em.

Even the atheists gasp a breath of disbelief when I say that, and as usual no one knows what I mean. Thinking the Bible alone is relevant to any topic is very little more than thinking anything I say is relevant. Or the Watchtower, or the Pope, or Richard Dawkins, or even the late great...

Dhammam Saranam Gacchami [Pali] - I Take Refuge In The Truth "The Buddha who stares back at us from the texts will be too much a reflection of ourselves, too little an image of the Enlightened One." - Dalai Lama XIV, In the Buddha's Words: An Anthology of Discourses from the Pali Canon Though...

The Bible doesn't say anything about birth control. Though some ancient peoples did make some attempt at birth control, they were usually ineffective and the people of ancient Israel were not, as far as the Bible indicates, among those who practiced any of those methods. Skeptics often give...

Thirteen Tribes Of Israel (Genesis Chapter 49) The twelve tribes of Israel were based on the descent from the twelve sons of Jacob, also known as Israel. They were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin. Jacob, however, blessed Joseph's...

A Response to the Skeptic's Annotated Bible (SAB) - Does Hell Exist? The answer to the question is no. Hell as most people know it is a Christian adoption of pagan mythology, and isn't a Biblical teaching. The skeptic points out three possible interpretations. Those that don't go to heaven are...

Since there was a great deal of confusion, crying and complaining about the abject FAILURE of everyone in the first thread, we here at DLH School of Creationism will now allow a second attempt to follow simple directions in attempting to provide a simple answer on the subject of evolution...

As promised @pood here is THE evolution thread to end all evolution threads. The most important evolution thread you will ever see. Anyway, what I typically do since I post exclusively on atheist or in this case infidel forums, is I sympathize with the resident heathens having to discuss so...

Just now I stumbled on an old thread elsewhere on the forum I had never seen before and I knew the difficult task before me was set into motion. I laughed to myself and asked "WHY!?" and I answered myself. "I have to." It doesn't make any sense to me, but, on the other hand, it's not a bad thing...

The SAB raises the question of whether or not death is final. Since the Bible teaches a resurrection this response will deal with the alleged contradictions with scriptures which say that death is final and have some brief comments upon some of the verses given to support resurrection as well...

In modern mathematical calculations, pi, which denotes the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, is generally a quantity equivalent to 3.1416. It is actually more accurate to say that pi can be carried to at least eight decimal places, which would be 3.14159265, though even...

A Response To The Skeptic's Annotated Bible: What The Bible Says About The End Of The World The SAB indicates that, according to the Bible, the end would come within the lifetime of Jesus' listeners. I will demonstrate why this is not the case by explaining the verses they use to conclude this...

I'm excited! Let's have some fun kicking it around. Poke it with a stick to see what happens, huh? He asked for it, not unlike ourselves. I've got the text you pasted saved in a text editor and I'm going TO TRY to get to all of the alleged contradictions one at a time in this thread. Now, having...

Noah's ark was designed to carry Noah and his family along with animals through the global deluge of 2370 - 2369 BCE. The ark (Hebrew tevah, Greek kibotos) was rectangular, a chest, actually, having square corners and a flat bottom. It was designed simply to float, without the need for steering...

The concept of a metallic dome over the Earth is not rooted in biblical teaching. Instead, it originates from the theology and "science" (more appropriately termed philosophy, given the context of the time) of the Dark Ages. This notion can be refuted by examining the scriptures, where such a...

There's a common misconception that Judaism is purely aligned with the Biblical narrative and separate from Christianity. In reality, both religions share roots in Biblical texts, but modern Judaism evolved largely due to the sociopolitical changes following the destruction of Jerusalem and its...

Confucianism and Taoism emerged as two distinct schools of thought in China during the Warring States period, a time when the populace was weary from incessant battles among the feudal states. Both philosophies acknowledged a concept of a heavenly way, known as Tian, representing nature or the...

Many critics of the Bible mistakenly claim that it confuses bats with birds, primarily due to a misinterpretation of Leviticus 11:13-20. The Hebrew word used here, ohph, is often incorrectly translated as "birds" or "fowl." Historically, the English term "fowl" encompassed not only birds but...

The Hebrew word translated as 'hare' is arneveth. It is a gnawing animal of the Leporidae family, closely related to but larger than the rabbit. Unlike rabbits, hare young are usually not born in underground burrows; they are fully furred, active, and have open eyes at birth. The average length...

Instrumentum Regni [Latin] - Instrument of Government Much that was called religion has carried an unconscious attitude of hostility toward life. True religion must teach that life is filled with joys pleasing to the eye of God, that knowledge without action is empty. All men must see that the...
