Ahh, so there are other ways we can see and detect things even if we don't see such for what it is. y:-?
I knew there was some relevance to all this side chatter.

Does that mean you've just disproven modern science as a valid pursuit of knowledge?
And, what about Moses seeing God?
When did I say that science isn't a "valid pursuit of knowledge"?! The subject here is Can Science Discover God? y#-o Modern science will never find God because He simply Is . ( I AM sent Moses to Pharaoh.) And what does the Bible say about whom God reveals Himself to? Find me the verse that says that God will reveal Himself to those that can track Him down through an experiment.

Do you remember that God is One in 3 Persons? Well, one of these nice Persons pops into our world now and then and He can be seen! Many, many people have seen Him! His name is Jesus and He's your Friend! His Father seems more effaced and He's said several times, "If you see my face, you die."

I voted NO!.I wish I could vote yes but science is secular and will not accept the bible or any holy book in their scientific agenda.I do not see a change,the only way we will realize God's word is being revealed true by scientific discoveries is to keep up with discoveries man makes that confirms more of the bible true and then to teach it.

This is really what has happened the whole time and is nothing new.God is confounding the wise and there have been many times man was teaching one thing and were eventually shown to be wrong,whether it was their wrong interpretation of the bible or even non-belief.Both believers and nonbelievers have been proven wrong,while God's word is confirmed true.It is only as we look back and look at what was believed and taught prior to a discovery that we realized man was wrong while God's word was true the whole time.

This is why I am not dogmatic about my interpretations of the bible,for it is better to "Let God be true and every man a liar."
Hebrews 12:2-3 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,despising the shame,and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

2nd Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,lest the light of this glorious gospel of Christ,who is the image of God,should shine unto them.

You did not vote. I'm the only one who has voted No so far. Go back and register your vote.

Another thing: If science discovered* God in the year 2323 - if man is still alive, if woman can survive - then why isn't such a momentous discovery prophecied in the Bible? IT AIN'T THERE! Another reason to vote NO!

A-net, you silly twit! A platypus is a freak of evolution. :mrgreen:
The Brits stitched it together as a joke and pretended back home they found it in New England.
But, the joke was on them because then it came to life and started breeding!
Maybe you are thinking of the joke on god when people started breeding.
