    Jun 18 2012: science is exactlly proven that history and people existed and science today modern or not has shown that light , matter and human evolution/ecology came from one big source and devinity and power but grace lives with simply being like jesus. I have nothing against scientists and no need to rebuke them. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. 6 There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 9 The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-- THE WORD BECAME FLESH.

      Jun 18 2012: Right.. well so you're against the fact that SK has banned evolution from the textbooks? and yes science has proven that everything most likely came from a singularity but you use terms like grace divinity to explain something which is none of that, the beginning was merely hot particles colliding against their anti matter counterparts releasing more energy potentially creating further quarks or electrons, science has said over and over we can't disprove God but we don't need one for the universe to start.

      Jun 18 2012: There is a pretty in-depth story about a flat world on the back of 4 elephants which is all on the back of a turtle; the author has even written "science" for this world. So, if one day the author decides that this is actually a real place, should we then teach this in schools as an option for how other worlds work in the universe, and start quoting passages from these books as fact because the author has included real events in his explanation?

      Some people might not consider this as a fair example because it isn't our world and no one believes it to be real (I don't think) . Still, this represents an idea with no real physical base which is then attempted to be explained through rational thinking, and in turn is made to seem believable.

        Jun 18 2012: A beautiful truth I recently learnt about science is this, science isn't democratic, we can't pick what we like and go with it we only go with the truth.
