“Do you really know me?”
“Yes! Enough phosphorus for 2,000 matches, enough chlorine to sanitize a pool, enough iron for one nail, and enough fat for 10 bars of soap!”
Do I know who you are? Or do I just know fun facts about what your genetic and cellular existence is comprised of?
Science? Or Truth?
Here’s the Tea.
Here’s the Tea.
Water on to boil and you come over
there’s a heat source that is transferring thermal energy across the container wall into the liquid.
That means that the mean square in velocity of the molecules increase.
The mean square velocity of the molecules is proportional temperature temperature reaches 100°C there is a please transition from a condensed phase to expanded phase which we called boiling
that would be a reason also on a thermodynamics test
…... I like tea, would you like some?
Does Science Contradict the Bible?
Well Yes! But actually no meme.

Matthew 13:31-32
Matthew 13:31-32
He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches.”
Orchid seed smaller
Deut 20:16-18
However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God.
Canaanites Exists DNA
Is the Bible a text book for scientific Education?
Is it meant to be read 100% Literal?
What is the Bible and its Purpose?
What is the Bible and its Purpose?
66 books 40 authors 1,500 years as directed by the Holy Spirit
39 OT 27 NT
367 ad these 66 separate books were considered cannon / product of centuries of reflection and uncountable hours of debate amongst scholars smarter than you and me in this context.
Nuff said for now
It’s purpose is to communicate the truth of God to mankind, and mankind’s position in all creation. (Our purpose) “All have sinned and broken God’s (the creator and ruler of all things) law, and deserving of judgment. James 2:10 and the deliverance from punishment in God through Christ.
For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
Also, to truly be a CANON, a measurement really of how to live ones life and find full satisfaction, fulfiment, and reward in the life to come.
What is Science and it’s purpose?
What is Science and it’s purpose?
Science is the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence.
observation - identification - description - experimental investigation - theoretical explanation of natural phenomena. The Pursuit of Knowledge
How do they conflict with each other?
How do they conflict with each other?
Stork Story - 3 paths - never trust again - yes of course! Empirical evidence irrelevant - see past child’s ignorance to see truth. Baby coming today.
Ancient people and authors of the Bible.
Antiquated ideas DO show up in their writings we have today
Flat earth
Liver kidney intestines seat of human intellect and emotion
Paul - hair - pregnant.
“How can we trust the Bible then if some parts are not true?”
Stork - science NOT AIM - truth of message is!
“I made everything” - pre scientific perspectives - audience “god made everything”
Psalms 104:5 flat earth
He set the earth on its foundations;
it can never be moved.
Creation acresdited to contemporaries.
Blue marble and space concepts did not exist nor would their audience comprehend the radical truth!
God didn’t tell writers that rain came from portals in the sky, the earth was flat, or abdominal organs were the seat of intellectual reasoning.
Commonplace in ancient world already!
He chose to use those people to convey his truth, and had the ability to convey such even with temporal scientific perspectives.
The goal of the Bible was never Sciences, but Spiritual realities that endure forever and transcends science.
Even if we know more about the physical world that the biblical writers, the Bible is just as relevant now as it was in ancient times
The Bible is not intended to be a scientific document, even though there are sciences that are accurate in them.
In closing - the earth is not flat … I think…
In closing - the earth is not flat … I think…
To be bull headed and quote the Bible as grounds for flat earth, when empirical evidence exists that it does not, is not the reason why God inspired Psalm 104.
Jesus, at the center of it all, the redemption of mankind, who dwell on the earth, which is the CREATION of the one and ONLY YHWH GOD. From him come all things, and to Him all things belong.
Don’t come to my house and shame my dog because she makes a horrible Cat. She’s not a cat.
So why would we shame the Bible which never was intended to be a scientific explanation of all things last, present, and future on a scientific level. When it’s purpose isn’t to “know” creation, but to KNOW the creator!
