This is a little tidbit,
which has been bothering me for awhile now.
which has been bothering me for awhile now.
I watch the
TV
show
and also listen to their
Podcast.
It stars
and his comedic co-host
On the television show they like to mix it up with different comedic co-hosts,
but on the
Podcast,
Chuck is always their for the laughs.
My question is,
why do both of them constantly comment about how primitive man,
before
Science
came along,
always explained things away,
that they did not understand,
as an act of
God?
Like they were fools?
Like they were fools?
An example that Neil has used on more than one occasion is about
Epilepsy.
Before
Science
discovered that it was a neurological disorder,
which causes epileptic seizures,
Christians
used to believe that the person having the seizure was actually being possessed by the
Devil.
Hence,
the common practice of
Exorcism
before
Science
discovered the real truth.
So,
as
Science
discovers more
and more about our
Physical Anatomy,
the
Earth,
our
Solar System,
and the
Cosmos,
they claim that this will disprove the ignorance of early man religious beliefs
and that
Science
will be able to explain everything about
Ourselves
and the
Universe
around us,
in due time.
I understand that they are both
Atheists,
but that doesn't mean
God
had nothing to do with our
Creation.
The more that
Science
discovers,
to me,
shows that
God
was involved.
I am not saying that he is a hands-on type of deity,
where he manipulates the coming
and goings of the
Universe,
our
Solar System,
the
Earth
and it's
Populace.
That is for
Theologians
to argue about.
What I am saying is,
from the chaos of the
Big Bang,
to the randomness of
Life
on this planet,
from the smallest
Particles
in existence,
to the largest
Black Holes
in the universe,
the more we discover,
the less we really know.
God may not be the
Deity
that religion would have us believe,
but to discount his existence because you only believe in
Science,
is like still believing that an
Exorcism
will cure
Epilepsy.
Open mindedness is what believing in
God
is all about,
and what makes true
Scientific Discovers.
This is,
Well,
I Am Glad I Got That Off My Chest,
Jim Hauenstein,
And,
“Lest we forget, the birth of modern physics and cosmology was achieved
by Galileo, Kepler and Newton. By breaking free from the close confining
prison of faith. All three were believing Christians though. The scientific revolution of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries was not a revival of Hellenistic science, but of its defeat.”
