roooofffllllll jud..
*sigh*
go on with your lives people..
i guess i poked a hornet's nest..
anyway, you honestly think that kepler used the Bible to back up his three laws of planetary motion? its different when you get inspiration from the Bible, which is a religious book.. but its totally different when you claim that it contains "scientific" principles..
instead of reading wikipedia, go grab a copy of Kepler's biography..
you guys don't even know what the scientific movement is, or the philosophy of science..
likewise, basa ug actual biography ni Galileo.. *sigh*
I never said the Bible is contradictory to scientific principles.. but the Bible DOES NOT contain "scientific" principles.. it contains symbolic text that can be interpreted in many ways..
a scientific principle is not born out of the Bible.. it is born out of the rigorous investigations of scientists in the scientific movement..
the Bible is at most, an inspiration to some scientists, like what you have mentioned.. but that is due in part of culture.. if the scientific movement originated from Middle East, the Koran will equally be a source of inspiration to some scientists as well, and they will also try to reconcile the Koran with what they observe in Nature, lest they want to get burned at stake..
*sigh* go on with your lives people, if it makes you happy..
ur imagining your own enemy..
i never said the Bible contradict with Science..
but for you guys to claim that the Bible contains scientific principle is purely hogwash..
you're just trying to glorify the Bible for what its not..
oh, its not denial.. with the rabbit statement, you are proposing an immutable essence behind, I agree with that no more no less..
but scientists did not arrive at scientific principles by using the Bible.. you think scientific principles will be grounded on solid empirical data today because the Bible allegedly contained such scientific principles? (obviously not, having read your response below)
if it weren't for the people behind with their work and dedication, we would not have a modern scientific world today..
again, you're trying to glorify the Bible for what its not.. that is where the denial lies..
I agree with you on that.. but I'm still not considering the Bible containing scientific principles.. the Truth of Nature is contained in the Bible, I have no qualms with that.. it may appear to contain scientific principles, but its not scientific principle. No scientist on earth would accept that..
the problem (as well as its advantages) with a religious book is it can be interpreted in many ways, which is the cause of many conflicts (but also the source of many inspirations..)
to even begin with the claim that it contains scientific principles is bordering on chaos beyond imaginable ways.. man's ego/desire is dangerous if left unchecked.. after such claim, people will begin to look into the Bible for scientific principles and claim they are true..
please do not forget the essence of a scientific principle.. it can be falsified in earlier stages or modified in later stages.. Can the Bible be falsified or modified in earlier or later stages? it is a religious book.. and it should know its place in religion..
