The story of Babylon (Babel) shows us that having a universal language is dangerous. It gives us the power to do things which would be otherwise impossible. Guess what? Math is a universal language. Go figure.
Math is the Language of Faith
I’m Not a Scientist…
"I'm not a scientist..." is the response that we (that's me and the Holy spirit) used to get whenever we tried to talk with a Pastor about science. It precedes an admission of ignorance.
Heliocentric #EpicFail
How do you rationalize an event where it looked like the sun and moon stopped moving? You could say that the Earth stopped rotating, but the sun and moon maintained their relative position with each other.
Theoretical vs. Empirical
Theoretical and empirical are opposites, like dark and light. Empirical means verified by direct observation. Theoretical can't be seen, it's what we hope for, which is why we became a scientist.
A Universal Language
People think that math is real. That's because its use in engineering and medicine produces a beneficial result. There's another side to math which is theoretical. Theoretical means imaginary.
Experimentation and Dark Matter
Dark matter can't be detected. That's because it doesn't exist. That doesn't matter, people are still looking for it. It's an example of how we use faith in science.
I Don’t Need Proof
We're frequently challenged to prove the existence of God, but there's two reasons why it's neither necessary to do this: 1. We don’t need proof because we have faith, 2. Proof of God won’t help, God requires faith.
You Need Faith not Sight
Having proof of God would serve no purpose and, in fact, it would be counter-productive. If you want to choose God and escape the destruction that's coming, then this is what you need to know: faith is needed, not sight.
Faith = Evidence
You don't need to have faith in something if you can see it. Faith is needed when we can't see. However, that has nothing to do with evidence. As such, faith is believing in what you can't see because of evidence.
Faith
Current popular science (SciPop) propaganda is that "faith is belief without evidence." However we all have the same evidence (Matty's razor) so the meme fails as a definition of faith.
