The history of atheistic science dismantled by scripture in fact

Ah yes, time for a fireside chat due to the tundra of North America. lol. Is this a big deal? Depends on you, but personally, I refuse to take my cues from the godless and alleged superior minds of infidel astrophysicists and television comedians. True science has always laid by the wayside every form of Assumptions.

This will be so easy to tear to shreds, like a pack of wild hyenas snickering at the fresh meat, all vying for the choice cuts, but what does the heading have to do with 2019?  Let’s consider this through that wonderful lens and word ‘doctrine,’ as God has much to say about things out of our comfort zone,  but we greatly err if we neglect to hear what God has to say regarding the doctrine of science.

Doctrine is sound teaching that withstands every ground and aerial assault, and in return provides correct context, without which, all opinions are equal. Sorry no. God’s word is not a book of opinions.  It is a matter of fact.

There is nothing in common with atheism and science, true science that is, and there is nothing in common with the demented atheistic version of history either. Scripture cannot be compared, stands alone, and more importantly, cannot be broken.

Scripture is the only standard whereby all other disciplines are judged. Why? Because it is correct. Correct in every way. God’s word tells us so succinctly (because all men want to know) that the heavens declare the glory of God, and only a fool looking to a star lit sky would argue otherwise.

False science despises the FACT that male and female created He them, as it was in the beginning, and as far as it appears, male and female, man and woman, still confirm this truth. Inconvenient of course to atheism and Chuck Darwin, but let God be true, and every man a liar. Easy enough.

But this is easier yet. The common atheist, while having a bible in hand, and unaided by the poisonous forked tongued whispers of ‘you really can’t believe THAT can you?’ has every bit of evidence and proof that would stand the test and scrutiny of the most savvy attorney trying to discredit it, whereby an honest judge must admit: ‘Get out of my courtroom councilor,  God’s word is good!’ Key word, Honest.

…..But having every proof so rejects it, while at the same time believing the mindless assumptions of an orbiting spinning ball, while having zero proof, yet so accepts it! Talk about the disconnect of the ages.  Is God’s earth in the world one of seven, or just another wandering star? Could our world be cited for jaywalking? A serious question.

To the believer I say: atheism needs the spinning ball to discredit the Creator. It needs the world to be one of many, insignificant as it were, irrelevant even, it needs the whirlybird to further godless evolution. It needs the globe to perpetuate accidental creation which of course leaves out God. Why can’t you or at least wont you consider this?

Have we fallen so low that we bow to the godless theories of atheistic evolution and accepted them as fact? Have we feasted on the assumptions of false science to be considered smart in the eyes of the world?

Have we become stooges of the govt at every turn? Sure there are good programs and agencies, but c’mon, do we need space agencies to tell us where we live? Do we need CGI images created by geeks in control rooms to convince us that our very eyes deceive us? Do we need their warped and perverted fish eye lens to SUGGEST to our minds that a water skier is traversing the waves of the ocean on a BALLED surface. Is it not embarrassing to be so susceptible to such blatant error?

God forbid King Solomon was lost as fog because he did not look through Hubble. The good king was not lost as fog, and had far better vision. Did Joshua not know that the backward moving of the sun ten degrees was not true, and that his senses lied to him? Joshua was not lost as fog, and the sun moved backward ten degrees for the simple reason the sun moves forward, JUST AS IT APPEARS.

But no, we need godless scientists, math teachers with endless equations that no one understands, and lying astronomers to tell us our very eyes deceive us, then while we see water moving, birds flying, clouds passing, cows walking, snow falling, we should trust our eyes to this, but not trust them to that. Who can function with such assaults to the brain, to be forced to accept certain realities, while denying others?

The moon moves overhead. The sun moves overhead. Rivers flow. Oceans roll. Railroads traverse planes. No devil on earth can prove this wrong. Rollercoasters go upside down at amusement parks. Guess what? The only unnatural thing I’ve just said is that upside downness to humans, is not natural; our senses know this, as dizziness is proof enough, yet, Yet, YET, YET, we are led to believe that our feet on terra firma are really not stable as we await the bus, and that we are moving, but cannot sense it or feel it.  OooooKaaaaaay.

My senses can be trusted, but we need so-called scientists, Hollywood, rocketmen,  or federal agencies to tell us not to trust what our eyes see? Don’t think so. I’ve said it before and it bears repeating: God has not made humans such as insects, with abilities to walk upside down on ceilings, or walk on a basketball all around like an ant. The insect preaches an immoveable earth just as scripture asserts, and thankfully, common sense, reason, logic, and of course nature all confirm this.

I challenge anybody reading to take a 2nd, 3rd, 4th look at the image behind David Muir every night of a rotating ball. Subtle? Overt? Conditioning? Affirmation? Or a decoy to make common that which is not common at all, that being, God’s beautiful and wondrous creation, which belongs to Him, and not registered trademarks.

By the way, scripture never teaches that the earth is water. The earth is IN the water, and the earth AND the water constitute the world. Never in all of scripture, never, no never, not once, is the world EVER alluded to as a sphere. I suggest we allow God the courtesy of His own engineering as the wise master builder, and pay attention to God’s detail in things. He created the alphabet doncha know, and He knows how to collate information far better than you or I.

We give renowned engineers the accolades due them for constructing towers, yet reject the true Architect of life. Not too smart in my opinion. But c’mon friends, be honest. We have never given this topic the respect it deserves, and have cheated ourselves out of riches far greater than what we are fed by the god of this world, who has his mitts in commerce, media, labor, law, science, sports, education, and you name it.

But hope this post warmed your innards in the cold of January.

  5. Hey, I really liked your post, there’s just one thing I noticed and thought I’d share my thoughts on. When you stated this below, I felt that it was irrelevant, and here’s why. The Bible isn’t a scientific document. It’s well known that the tone expressed in the ancient writing isn’t scientific. If you assume so, you’re opening yourself up to various fallacies, and the Bible from this angle falls apart. It’s isn’t meant to be a scientific document, primarily because it wasn’t written for us. These two quotes from John Walton help convey my point:

    “He does reveal his work is the world, but he doesn’t reveal how the world works.”

    “Even though the Bible is written for us, it isn’t written to us.”

    FROM YOUR POST
    “By the way, scripture never teaches that the earth is water. The earth is IN the water, and the earth AND the water constitute the world. Never in all of scripture, never, no never, not once, is the world EVER alluded to as a sphere.

      So you think God in His infinite wisdom would demand that His creatures (we the people) would be expected to be at the mercy of godless people to tell us where we live, when He has said most certainly that the earth, is fixed, IMMOVEABLE, and that the earth was created upon the floods?

      I beg to differ as to scripture being absent of science. Of course there is science, and true science if we pay attention.

      The ‘kinds’ of Genesis, as in the seed within itself, is more science than all of Darwins lying species.

      God has given us the most valuable of tools, our senses, that speak to us perfectly of a motionless, stable world.

The fact that we now live in an atheistic culture has less to do with science than the sexual revolution of the 1960’s which has turned the culture against God in a big way.

          Do you need a ‘scientist’ to tell you that birds reproduce birds, whales produce whales and monkey produce monkeys?

          Do you need a scientist and his PhD to tell you that what your eyes see or do not see are a mirage?

          Are you aware that God Himself told His creatures (you, I, and anybody with an interest in truth) to be wary of SCIENCE FALSELY SO-CALLED?

          For thousands of years, men believed and knew the earth was stationary, not because they lacked tools or wisdom, but because it was correct.

          Nature, scripture, science all agree. It was only until such time as men ‘devised their own schemes,’ and were not happy with God’s revelation of His own creation, did they create their own ‘THEORIES,’ which were pure unfounded ASSUMPTIONS not founded in fact, science, or scripture.

          You are not alone in following the many who while professing to be wise, they became fools. You are on the wrong side of history, scripture, and science.

          And it appears I was also correct about your ‘feelings’ about Mary. Perhaps you never heard of JAEL who pounded a spike through a mans skull, who was stated by scripture as BLESSED IS SHE ABOVE WOMEN, while Mary was BLESSED AMONG WOMEN.

          There are NONE righteous, no not one. This includes Jael, Mary, Joseph, the baptist, you, I, take your pick.

          Matthew 3:5 “People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan.” Does that mean people from every corner of Judea and of the Jordan went out to Jesus?
          1 Corinthians 15:22 says, “For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.” Does this mean that every single person ever born will die? We know that Enoch and Elijah were taken up into heaven without dying.
          Romans 3:10-12 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away; they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”Yet, Joseph was a just man (Mt 1:19), John the Baptist’s parents, Zechariah and Elizabeth, were declared righteous (Luke 1:19), and Psalm 14 goes on to speak of “the company of the righteous” in verse 5 while Psalm 15 references those who walk blamelessly and do what is right..
          Paul would agree that infants and those who are mentally deficient cannot sin personally—two additional exceptions to the concept of “all” having sinned.
          In Romans 3 Paul is comparing Jews and Greeks (Gentiles). What Paul is saying is that both Jews and Gentiles alike are sinners before God, not that there are no exceptions to the rule.

  8. Two things come to mind here, Mary being sin free only works for me if she is sin free as we are sin free, through the imparted and imputed grace of Jesus Christ. If Jesus is the Son of Man,which He called Himself frequently, then He came through a long line of fallen men, a truth carefully preserved and documented in all those begats in the bible. Being the Son of David makes no sense if God first felt the need to completely wipe clean the bloodline, BEFORE making Himself very small and curling up in Mary.

    And second, it actually takes a great deal of intellectual humility to ponder flat earth ideas, and not pride at all. One problem with pride and seeking the favor and approval of man is that first you must accept the science of the day, only because you fear being labeled a flathead. Next you must retract any belief in a six day creation, least you be labeled a creationist. We soon arrive at denying the existence of talking donkeys and burning bushes, those things just being metaphors, symbolism, miracles all having a perfectly reasonable explanation. After all, we don’t want to give any indication of being delusional or weird or anything. Eventually we arrive at how the Resurrection itself is not a literal truth but just a symbolic allegory and many other paths can lead to God just as well, too.

    And that is how we soon arrive at Christians pointing fingers of accusation against their own brothers and sisters as if to say, “What? You don’t align your beliefs with the dominant atheist narrative of the day??” An atheist narrative that has flat out declared it is not really interested in truth and science so much as it is interested in completely dismantling Christianity.

    So, if you want my apologetics truth which of course people seldom do, I ain’t apologizing for nothing. 🙂

    • insanitybytes22,
      Sorry I missed your comment on Mary. You say: “Mary being sin free only works for me if she is sin free as we are sin free, through the imparted and imputed grace of Jesus Christ.”
      In Catholic teaching, Mary is sinless only “through the imparted and imputed grace of Jesus Christ.” It is not of her own doing, by something she has done for God, but purely by God’s grace.
      As the angel Gabriel says to her in Luke 1:28 “ ‘Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s favour! The Lord is with you.’” And as Mary herself says in Luke 1:49 “49 for the Almighty has done great things for me. “
      We venerate Mary for what God has done for her, not for what she has done for God.
      Luke 1:28 “28 He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s favour! The Lord is with you”. This is alternatively translated as “Hail, full of grace. The Lord is with you.”
      The Greek word used here for grace is “Kecharitomene” using the perfect passive participle, denoting the continuance of a completed action, a completed action with a permanent result, i.e completely, perfectly, enduringly endowed with grace. That denotes freedom from sin.
      To receive Jesus, who is God, in her womb, Mary must have been without sin. According to Revelation, nothing unclean may enter heaven: Rev 21:27 “27 Nothing unclean may come into it:”. Why? Because God is so holy that anyone who is sinful cannot be in his presence. And so it is with Mary.
      Luke 1:35 “35 The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow.”
      When Luke says ‘the power of the most high will “overshadow” you’ he is using the same word used in the old testament for the glory of God “overshadowing” the tabernacle where the Ark of the Covenant was.
      When Moses had finished making the Ark and the tabernacle, the glory cloud of the Lord (the Shekinah Glory) covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
      Ex 40:34-35 “34 The cloud then covered the Tent of Meeting and the glory of Yahweh filled the Dwelling.
      35 Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting, since the cloud stayed over it and the glory of Yahweh filled the Dwelling.”
      The verb “to cover” or “overshadow” and the “cloud” in the old testament represents the presence and glory of God. God’s presence “overshadowed” the Ark and the tabernacle.
      The Greek word for “overshadow” (ἐπισκιάζω or episkiazein) in Exodus 40 is used of the presence of God overshadowing the Ark. The same Shekinah glory cloud also filled the Temple of Solomon (2 Chron 7:1-3).
      The very same Greek word for “overshadow” is used by Gabriel when he tells Mary that the Holy Spirit will overshadow her. Moses, though chosen by God to lead his people was still a sinful man, and could not approach, as God’s presence filled the tabernacle. Mary had to be without sin to hold Jesus, who is God, in her womb.

    • My interpretation of scripture is certainly fallible, but what is not fallible is the authority of the Holy Spirit and His ability to lead us to the truth. There are many Catholics who do not really trust in Him, who feel as if there must be a human intermediary least people go astray. I myself don’t have any personal schism with Catholics, I believe many are very good Christ followers, but I simply cannot and will not replace the Holy Spirit with “the church.”

      And intentional or not, the concept of the immaculate conception has erased the significance of biblical bloodlines, has been distorted and perverted leading to many tragic misconceptions about women being permanently sinful and unclean, and has created distance between us and a Holy God, distance and separation which Jesus actually came to Earth to end.

        We all agree that the Holy Spirit is God and therefore infallible. It is a Christian’s personal interpretation which is infallible.
        Catholics certainly do not replace the Holy Spirit (God) with the church. Jesus founded the church and promised to be with it till the end of time. He is the head of the church and we are the body of Christ.
        This idea that the immaculate conception has erased the biblical bloodlines is bizarre.
        So is this idea that women are permanently sinful and unclean. They are no more unclean or sinful than men.
        Could you elaborate on those two points so I can understand what you mean?

          Considering there are a whole lot of Catholics running about who seem to believe immaculate conception is about how Jesus Himself was conceived, sex free, since the sex act itself is thought to be what makes women unclean, unclean and prone to pass down original sin to their offspring. Therefore we can pretty clearly state that Catholic doctrine is no protection against what you would call, “whacky ideas.”

          I never said that ” denying the immaculate conception” was why ColorStorm had such “whacky ideas about science.”
          It is clear from Luke 1 that Mary conceived Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:34-35 “34 Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I have no knowledge of man?’
          35 The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God.”
          The sex act is not thought to be what makes a woman unclean. Original sin, which man inherits through Adam and Eve, is passed down to their descendants by generation. both through the man and the woman. There is nothing unclean about the sex act, it is man’s innate concupiscence that is the problem. Man brings this concupiscence into the sex act, not the sex act to man.

          That somehow she was mistaken when she said ‘my soul doth rejoice in God my Saviour,’ words hardly necessary if she was elevated to Saviour status because of her own sinlessness.

          I too put my trust in the bible and in the Holy Spirit’s guidance in understanding it. I also think it is filled with many references to science and there is a lot of revelation to be found there. It’s only in the modern world that we have separated science from faith, religion from secularism, as if you must chose between one or the other. We’ve pretty much tried to kick God Himself out of His creation.

          You are quite right that atheists attempt to kick God out of his creation. As you say, faith and reason go together, and in scripture we will find some science – if only we use our reason -, and as well some history, some cultural information, etc.
          Where we differ is about authority. You say that it resides in the believer. We can see where that leads. Thousands of Protestant denominations, to say nothing of many non denominational churches and probably millions of lonesome rangers who make up their doctrine as they go. More and more congregations acrimoniously splitting up over differing beliefs, each side convinced that the Holy Spirit is on their side.
          Jesus passed his authority to the one church he founded, and he said he would be with it till the end of time, and so it will be.

  10. ColorStorm,
    Mary is not a goddess, she is certainly not elevated to saviour status, Jesus is the only saviour of all men, and Mary’s saviour is Jesus. By God’s grace only is Mary’s conception immaculate. We adore Jesus as God, we venerate Mary as a creature highly graced by God in order to carry Jesus – God himself – in her womb.
    Hebrews 13:7 “7 Remember your leaders, who preached the word of God to you, and as you reflect on the outcome of their lives, take their faith as your model.”
    Luke 1:48 “Yes, from now onwards all generations will call me blessed,”
    One way to describe the immaculate conception of Mary is to look at a child who cannot swim being saved from the water. So if a child is drowning in the river and someone swims to save him, we say that he was saved from drowning.
    In the same way if a child is caught before he falls into the river, he is said to have been saved from drowning.
    In our case, we have fallen in the river, – and are contaminated by original sin, whreas in Mary’s case she was protected from falling into the water and saved from original sin, all through the merits of Jesus Christ who suffered and died for her on the cross.
    I hope this makes it easier for you to understand.

      It is pointless to host your incessant focus on that which scripture demands we look away from.

      Apparently, I know more of your catholic doctrine than do you- because I pointed out Jael was blessed ABOVE women, whereas our friend Mary was blessed AMONG women-

      If you cant see God’s wisdom in this……….

      Furthermore, your appeal to emotion regarding a good woman, (Mary) cannot hold up to the apostle Paul’s (through God’s favor of course) scrutiny of ALL mankind, Christ apart………..

      I suggest you read Alexander Hislops ‘Babylon,” or Sir Robert Andersons ‘the buddha of Christendom,’ which both carefully dismantle just about everything you have said.

      I have been careful to maintain the focus on science here, atheism, and sorry to say, you have taken off in a direction that is pretty much irrelevant.

      A few of us here have tried to steer you back on course, but I hope you find solace in scripture and God alone, as opposed to lousy science and the veneration of the created.
