This is just question-begging dogmatism on your part. Unless you fancy being cast into a lake of fire, you'd best throw off your bankrupt science worship and accept Christ almighty as both Lord, Savior, and ultimate explanation for all phenomena. After all, who made those universal laws of which you speak?
you said Quote "Bankrupt science worship" ???
So are you criticising your own gods work? I'll save you a spot in that lake of fire!
Originally posted by Jay PeateaThe problem isn't with respecting science, but in making of it a false idol. I'm not being critical of science as such, it is an effective instrument when it stays within its proper sphere of investigation. The problem resides in thinking that science is the only proper tool to all spheres of inquiry. Science is silent on issues of morality, meaning, purpose and salvation. When science overflows its banks, we all drown in the waters of nihilism. The only way to escape such a fate, and the subsequent fate of eternal damnation, is to invite Christ almighty into your life and accept Him as your Lord and Savior. He died for your sins, try to show a little gratitude.
