Divine Irony

is a rich archive of religious delusions, scientific truths and political implications run by a liberal atheist science enthusiast.

I still don’t understand how this means there’s no God. Yeah, so we’ve gotten a little better at science since they wrote the bible, but it’s not like the bible says, “And then God made people, with his inexplicable magic.” What’s not to say that God didn’t put all of this into motion? I mean, the stars, the elements, atoms… They had to come from somewhere. I just don’t like the whole God-or-science mentality. Why can’t you have both?

Depends on what you call god. If you’re deist then yeah - you probably can have both. But if you’re theist and you believe in personal God and Jesus - then the picture is relevant and well - basically is either god or science. Bible says god created everything magically, although it took him 1 day to create universe and 4 days to create Earth, but it was all magic. Omnipotence by itself is self-contradictory - you just can’t have something that is simultaneously A and NOT A. That is where logic comes into the picture. And then follows science…
And btw - the picture says nothing about that there is no god. The picture says that the sacrifice of Jesus is meaningless or negligible in the face of the fact that massive nuclear furnaces had to explode for you and me to be alive and enjoy our lives. Now that is a sacrifice. We are LITERALLY made of stars. Beat that Jesus! :)

Um, “What’s not to say that God didn’t put all of this into motion?” How about the bible. If the bible meant to say “God set it all into motion and let the stars create the elements needed to allow earth and life to evolve, a ‘day’ to god is actually a billion years etc etc.” wouldn’t it have just said that? By this logic of interpretation every creation myth in world history (and there are many) could be interpreted to be “true”.

Co-Opting Jesus for the support of greed and violence is the American way.

It’s called schizophrenia. It could have just as easily been conspiracy theories or an account of his abduction by aliens… ih8religion:

    Sometimes I like to step out from behind the curtain and voice my opinion on certain cultural and political topics. Here today to do it for me is Patton Oswalt speaking on gay marriage and the Bible. Thanks Patton.
