Scientist, and studing/practicing scientist?

Question

With the assumptions that you believe in Christ.....Have you actually tried to pray to God for answers to some of theese profound questions we want to know about.

How long did the dinosaurs live?
What did the look like?
Why are we(Mankind) Here?
Why dont the other planets have life?
What's the purpose of the moon?
Is there other life in the universe?
How long did it take the universe to form?
When will the universe end?
Are there aliens in our solar system?
Is it possible to go faster than light?
Why are there black holes?
ect.ect.ect..

Cause God does give real answers.The answer may not come when you want,but if you're persistent in prayer, you will get the answer.

Luke 8:10-And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

Answer 1

God gave you the answers to these? That's funny. My books all have the answers ... why should I have to ask someone else's invisible friend?

Oh, and if god told you how to go faster than light, I really hope he's going to let you patent it and make a billion dollars. And why could you ask god about black holes if we only discovered them recently?

You're not actually a scientist, are you? I'd like to know how you justify your 'findings' in an article, because usually saying 'god told me so' is enough to get it thrown in the looney pile.

Answer 2

Actually, some of the answers are in the Bible, not that you care.
Why are we(Mankind) Here? For the pleasure of God.
What's the purpose of the moon? To provide light at night.
How long did it take the universe to form? 2 days - God made the universe with apparent age. When he wound the clock, all the gears turned.
Is it possible to go faster than light? NO, unless you are God.
Why are there black holes? To demonstrate that God exists, he has made inexplicable things in nature that can only be explained by a creator.
Many famous scientists did indeed made a practice of praying that God would help them unlock the secrets of the universe in their work. One such was George Washington Carver. Google him.
BTW, Only arrogant and foolish scientists assume that what they know must be right since they don't know all yet. I word to the wise: Walk small when you meet, or you may have a lot of crow to eat!

Answer 3

To be perfectly honest, you'll get more answers to these questions thru reading and research than prayer.

"Luke 8:10-And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand." This is what is known as a fail-safe device.

If you want to see how much god wants you to learn about the real world, read Proverbs 3:5.

Answer 4

Watch Carl Sagan's Cosmos series. And read A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. These men were inspired by God to produce the work they produced and the series and book will answer many of your questions. Amen.

Answer 5

I agree with you. I have always thought that for Christians to have the Bible and worship a God who is knowledge, they ask for very little of it. By the way, why all the hostile answers to this question? You can ask God anything you want to know. I believe he appreciates the quest for knowledge and really can't imagine Him wanting us to stay ignorant and uninformed.

Answer 6

I don't waste time talking to invisible friends.

I actually go out and study nature to find the real answers.

That's the difference between a scientist and a theist; one searches for the truth, the other makes sh*t up.

Answer 7

Be careful what you ask Almighty All Powerful and Holy God! Job (in the book of Job) tried that but God had a few questions for him to answer first:

Job 38 (The Message version)

God Confronts Job

1 And now, finally, GOD answered Job from the eye of a violent storm. He said:
2-11 "Why do you confuse the issue?
Why do you talk without knowing what you're talking about?
Pull yourself together, Job!
Up on your feet! Stand tall!
I have some questions for you,
and I want some straight answers.
Where were you when I created the earth?
Tell me, since you know so much!
Who decided on its size? Certainly you'll know that!
Who came up with the blueprints and measurements?
How was its foundation poured,
and who set the cornerstone,
While the morning stars sang in chorus
and all the angels shouted praise?
And who took charge of the ocean
when it gushed forth like a baby from the womb?
That was me! I wrapped it in soft clouds,
and tucked it in safely at night.
Then I made a playpen for it,
a strong playpen so it couldn't run loose,
And said, 'Stay here, this is your place.
Your wild tantrums are confined to this place.'

12-15 "And have you ever ordered Morning, 'Get up!'
told Dawn, 'Get to work!'
So you could seize Earth like a blanket
and shake out the wicked like cockroaches?
As the sun brings everything to light,
brings out all the colors and shapes,
The cover of darkness is snatched from the wicked—
they're caught in the very act!

16-18 "Have you ever gotten to the true bottom of things,
explored the labyrinthine caves of deep ocean?
Do you know the first thing about death?
Do you have one clue regarding death's dark mysteries?
And do you have any idea how large this earth is?
Speak up if you have even the beginning of an answer.

19-21 "Do you know where Light comes from
and where Darkness lives
So you can take them by the hand
and lead them home when they get lost?
Why, of course you know that.
You've known them all your life,
grown up in the same neighborhood with them!

22-30 "Have you ever traveled to where snow is made,
seen the vault where hail is stockpiled,
The arsenals of hail and snow that I keep in readiness
for times of trouble and battle and war?
Can you find your way to where lightning is launched,
or to the place from which the wind blows?
Who do you suppose carves canyons
for the downpours of rain, and charts
the route of thunderstorms
That bring water to unvisited fields,
deserts no one ever lays eyes on,
Drenching the useless wastelands
so they're carpeted with wildflowers and grass?
And who do you think is the father of rain and dew,
the mother of ice and frost?
You don't for a minute imagine
these marvels of weather just happen, do you?

31-33 "Can you catch the eye of the beautiful Pleiades sisters,
or distract Orion from his hunt?
Can you get Venus to look your way,
or get the Great Bear and her cubs to come out and play?
Do you know the first thing about the sky's constellations
and how they affect things on Earth?

34-35 "Can you get the attention of the clouds,
and commission a shower of rain?
Can you take charge of the lightning bolts
and have them report to you for orders?
What Do You Have to Say for Yourself?
36-38 "Who do you think gave weather-wisdom to the ibis,
and storm-savvy to the rooster?
Does anyone know enough to number all the clouds
or tip over the rain barrels of heaven
When the earth is cracked and dry,
the ground baked hard as a brick?

39-41 "Can you teach the lioness to stalk her prey
and satisfy the appetite of her cubs
As they crouch in their den,
waiting hungrily in their cave?
And who sets out food for the ravens
when their young cry to God,
fluttering about because they have no food?"

There's more in the next chapter but I think you get the point.

Answer 8

that is for Lord God to know

forever shall we wonder of the mysteries of the universe
when it is only bringing us further away from Christ

Answer 9

Ignorance is bliss and the bible is dead wrong.

Answer 10

that's not what that verse means but your on the right track... keep trying...
