Comparison...

Scientifical Geological time scale:

Biblical time scale

No comment… this time :slight_smile:

Well, the second one works on time that humans have actually experienced, the first one works entirely on speculation. You tell me which is rational and which is faith…

Ouch… i’m not even going to comment on that one :slight_smile:

let me just say that both work on what humans have experienced :slight_smile:

Also… the first one is written in rocks and in the structure of life on planet earth…

While the second was passed through songs and tales by people who thought lightning comes from “the gods” and that stars were “little holes in the sky and that behind it layed a great fire” untill writting was invented… and then had the chance to be rewritten thousands of times to suit personal beliefs… :slight_smile:

And I am sure that you would figure out all by yourself what a star really is? What seems like such a simple idea is a result of hundreds if not thousands of years of observation by human beings. To suggest that you would not fall into the same fallacious set of beliefs to explain the universe as did your distant ancestors would be arrogant of you. This also brings to mind the inherent racism that is part of evolutionary philosophy and the moral relativity that has so readily spread to every corner of the earth.

You miss the point completly…

NEVERTHELESS SOMEONE DID FIGURE OUT WHAT THE STARS WERE !

Science and knowledge are not the work of 1, 10, 10000 people but the struggle of generations.

Alright, speculation that tends to be consistent with the evidence as measured scientifically… :smiley:

i would like to compare this comparison …

the ancient religious and the scientific explanation of a number of phenomena are both based on human perception, of course
the only difference is that the last is more systematic, methodic, massive and with better tools … thus, probably more accurate

i guess it’s the difference between knowing

  • that when the sea pulls back that you should run into the hills
    and knowing
  • that there’s been a huge disturbance on the bottom of the sea and that there’s a wave-movement pushing through the masses of water, lifting high up when it hits land (tsunami)

:astonished: really ? =D>

you got to admit this post was hilarious :smiley:

"oh HERE YOU GO PASSION !!!

Here’s YET ANOTHER “missing link” !!!

newscientist.com/article/dn3814.html

Don’t get fooled now… this time SATAN placed those fossils there and RIGGED the carbon 14 dating to undermine your FAITH !!!

I’M ofcourse waiting for YOU to provide THE MISSING LINK between DIRT and HUMANS… !!..

If you show me 1 intermediate stage between a ROCK and a HUMAN i will yet again EAT MY OWN FECES for a week ( yes that involves re-eatting that same piece of !#$# for a couple of days)"

And i’m serious… i wish to see the missing link between DIRT and HUMANS…

note that i said: ‘probably’ more accurate,
but that doesn’t indicate a necessity at all :slight_smile:
