Re: “Do the so called scientists all have to be atheists?”Absolutely not. Newton was perhaps the greatest scientist who ever lived. He was also a devout Christian. It's said that he wrote more books about theology than about math or science.

As I see it, science is about following the evidence to obtain answers. Theology is about following your heart to obtain answers. Sometimes the two yield quite different answers to the same questions, but not always.

Here's the issue I have with your question. An atheist believes there is no God. Some scientists are atheists. A deist believes there is a God. Some scientists are deists. A Christian believes the Bible. Some scientists are Christians.

Your post suggests that a scientist who is not a Christian... or, even, a scientist who is not AS CHRISTIAN as you... is an atheist. Newton, as I said, was tremendously devout. But he may have been a Nontrinitarian. Uh oh! Does that make him an atheist? If you say "yes," you're definitely wrong. He believed in and worshiped God. (If you want to know more about this, you'll have to research it yourself. The book I read on Newton only went lightly into this.)

BTW, good job of thought-provoking!!!

Re: “DID you guys know that there are dinosaurs mentioned in the scriptures?”No - perhaps because there aren't. If you go to https://www.biblegateway.com/keyword/ and enter the word "dinosaur" you get "Sorry, we didn’t find any results for your search."

This is one of those Bible facts that, if true, would be known to EVERYONE.Re: “Did you know that the scripture tells us about fresh water flowing thru the oceans?
Did you know that so called agnostic "oceanographers discovered fresh water streams running under the ocean in the Gulf Stream?”I addressed this earlier. What's flowing isn't water but silt.Re: “Did you know that every single Prophecy found in scripture has come to pass except ONE?”I am certain that if they were listed on this board, I would disagree that they've all come to pass.Re: “And that one is coming soon. ?”If "soon" is more than thirty years away, why should anyone on this forum care?


The truth is, I don't think the Bible is the truthful word of God. It's got too many flaws and is WAAAAAAY too vague. God would have no reason to deceive us with His book, would He? I think it's the OTHER guy who does that.
