If not, but you still believe in God, how come the search for knowledge has given you greater understanding of the nature of our world, but in two thousand years your understanding of God and creation has not progressed at all?

How do you understand God? Is he the highest, beyond of everything? We only have a little knowledge about this world and everything we know, or think we understand are given by God. God is all about believing; if he wants to reveal something he would does it in a special way. God is far more than 2000 years of history, or even live and death!
Science only proves the obvious.

Nope, I have been to the Rockies!
As far as I know the reason we have not progressed is because if it is not broke don't fix it. I know this is a glib remark but true. I have progressed in my personal walk and will continue it till I die, but my son will have his own walk some I can help him with and the rest he must learn for himself.
I hope this helps even though I know you meant your question as a rhetorical ridicule of people who have faith in something so old and ancient.
By the way what shape is the world now? It was flat and if I am correct it has been more than two thousand years since that revelation so we should be due for a makeover ... right?

The world not being flat is something that we've both been able to prove through mathematics as well as observation. That is why the nature of the earth's shape is not debated anymore whereas God is. There's no math or telescope out there that can disprove the existence of God yet. I'm not even religious, it's just simple deduction.

Well, because truth doesn't change. 1 + 1 still equals 2, two thousand years later. It's actually an argument in favor of God that the truth about Him doesn't change or then He would be based our perception and always change with the thinking of the day.
Nice try with the world being flat. What an insult. You guys never seize to amaze me with the originality of your insults.

Since the correct and complete view of God was given 2000 years ago, there's no need to get creative and make things up - just to have something new.
Science, on the other hand, is just getting started figuring things out, so yesterday's facts are constantly being replaced by new and better data.

It was a 18th century scientist who said "In practicing the arts of the sciences, we are discovering the mind of God". God is the Unchanged Changer, the Unmoved Mover. He does not change with the millenia, and He has already given to us His knowledge. Science is merely opening that so that our mortal minds may understand it.
People who cannot see this are missing the point completely.

I believe the world is flat as far as my eyes could see. There's no indication that it has other geometric figure. I believe there is no God because I could not see Him with my eyes. These are what my eyes perceived and I believe. But are they valid observation at all? Is this belief of mine have any doubt other than what my eyes telling me? Oh I just felt so hopeless that I depended everything on proof, measurable data and consistency. Other than that, its imagination, hallucination, and delusion.

The earth is indeed round but the brain of an atheist is somewhat shriveled and wrinkled like a prune from suffocation . God is like the air I breathe and if you breathed the same air, your brain too could expand to it's rightful size.LOL

I stand against discussing any form of religion on boards like these, religion is too personal too many people stand to be offended.
