Bible stories represent "predictive science" and science is a myth?

What the hell was I thinking?

The bibles prophecies are absolutely so vague, that they could be applied to a myriad of mis-interpretations and are highly subjective. Biblical conclusions cannot be tested or questioned, After all, it was gawd who said it.

On the other hand, If a chemist makes a prediction and someone doubts it, then the claim CAN be tested and the result verified. If the result cannot be duplicated, then the original claim is not accepted as fact.

This is the fundamental difference between science and religion.

Everything, absolutely everything concerning religion is a theory which cannot be tested or verified. Accepting by "faith alone" is code for "this is absolute bullshit which cannot be proven or verified, and you must believe me so I can tell you more lies" Superstitious interpretations of world events or the laws of physics will not do.


Scientific theory is always tested and the results are verified by third parties. Furthermore, the race, nationality, sexuality, or culture of the scientist does not matter. In religious theory, the bonehead from one church is always bitching about what the bonehead from another church believes. A war begins, and the churchmen who torture, kill, and maim the greatest number of people in the least amount of time is assumed to have the blessing of gawd and is therefore correct.

Scientific claims are duplicated by third parties. Regardless or religious belief.
