Why are so many Christians physically and mentally unable to type the words Scientific Theory...?

Question

... into a search engine or Dictionary search, to find out the REAL meaning of Theory in science? Or is it that they're purposely totally ignoring that in favor of the laymans meaning of the word Theory just so they think they can make themselves look good?

Angelz no it isn't when you get the definition wrong. Repeating a wrong definition is only making yourself look stupid.

I know what scientific theory means, obviously you don't. You still think its the same thing as plain old theory.

And your wrong.

Yes starjump, a LAW is more limited. Evolutionary theory contains many laws that Christians conveniently ignore.

Nicole... go type the words "scientific theory" into a search engine. If you come back with a definition to "theory" instead, I'll know you didn't do what I just said and chose to remain ignorant.

Kerilyn, no its not. Go use those fingers to type what you need to into a search engine.

Acid, I could kiss you. Thank you for giving the accurate definition of the word theory in scientific usage.

Answer 1

I hear they use faith-based spelling and surfing.

Answer 2

Regarding Hippocrates, a Greek physician of the fifth and fourth centuries B.C.E. who has become known as “the father of modern medicine,” it is said: “He had no connection with the temple hospitals of his time, which were controlled by the priests of Asclepius, the god of healing.” (The World Book Encyclopedia, 1987, Vol. 9, p. 227) Hippocrates was virtually contemporaneous with Malachi, but much that the Bible says about diseases was written by Moses about a thousand years earlier. Yet, significantly, it has been said: “The best informed medical researchers now doing the best work are arriving at the conclusion that the Bible is a very accurate scientific book. . . . The facts of life, diagnosis, treatment, and preventive medicine as given in the Bible are far more advanced and reliable than the theories of Hippocrates, many still unproven, and some found to be grossly inaccurate.”—Dr. H. O. Philips, in a letter to The AMA [American Medical Association] News, published in its issue of July 10, 1967.

The Bible’s Harmony With Scientific Facts. The Bible, at Job 26:7, speaks of God as “hanging the earth upon nothing.” Science says that the earth remains in its orbit in space primarily because of the interaction of gravity and centrifugal force. These forces, of course, are invisible. Therefore the earth, like other heavenly bodies, is suspended in space as if hanging on nothing. Speaking from Jehovah’s viewpoint, the prophet Isaiah wrote under inspiration: “There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth, the dwellers in which are as grasshoppers.” (Isa 40:22) The Bible says: “He [God] has described a circle upon the face of the waters.” (Job 26:10) The waters are limited by his decree to their proper place. They do not come up and inundate the land; neither do they fly off into space. (Job 38:8-11) From the viewpoint of Jehovah, the earth’s face, or the surface of the waters, would, of course, have a circular form, just as the edge of the moon presents a circular appearance to us. Before land surfaces appeared, the surface of the entire globe was one circular (spherical) mass of surging waters.—Ge 1:2.

Bible writers often speak from the standpoint of the observer on the earth, or from his particular position geographically, as we often naturally do today. For example, the Bible mentions “the sunrising.” (Nu 2:3; 34:15) Some have seized upon this as an opportunity to discredit the Bible as scientifically inaccurate, claiming that the Hebrews viewed earth as the center of things, with the sun revolving around it. But the Bible writers nowhere expressed such a belief. These same critics overlook the fact that they themselves use the identical expression and that it is in all of their almanacs. It is common to hear someone say, ‘it is sunrise,’ or ‘the sun has set,’ or ‘the sun traveled across the sky.’ The Bible also speaks of “the extremity of the earth” (Ps 46:9), “the ends of the earth” (Ps 22:27), “the four extremities of the earth” (Isa 11:12), “the four corners of the earth,” and “the four winds of the earth” (Re 7:1). These expressions cannot be taken to prove that the Hebrews understood the earth to be square. The number four is often used to denote that which is fully rounded out, as it were, just as we have four directions and sometimes employ the expressions “to the ends of the earth,” “to the four corners of the earth,” in the sense of embracing all the earth.—Compare Eze 1:15-17; Lu 13:29.

Answer 3

They are too tired from staying up all night reading the Bible. Typing and spelling take a lot of work! Just look at all typos on this website!

Answer 4

I totally know what you mean.. I TRIED the other day to give them the proper definitions of theory, hypothesis, and law, but it did no good.
I feel your pain.
Hugs,

Answer 5

Scie...
Scien...
Scientific!
Scientific Tea? No.
Scientific Theory.

Yeah me!


Shouldn't the question really be "Do religious people even know what a hypothesis is?" Just to change up this question a little?

Answer 6

Scientific Theory Hmmmm, no problem at all. Why are so many atheists physically and mentally unable to type I Love God?

Answer 7

Because that's just what Satan wants me to do. See, I know that the word "theory" means "pure speculation with no supporting evidence" and as long as I keep that definition, I know I'm right about it.

Answer 8

You know... I've asked basically the same thing and most simply reiterate their faulty perception of "theory" in the context of science... so I can only conclude they don't WANT to learn!

Ouch! Look at those "thumbs down"! They really don't like being told what I'm telling them.

Answer 9

There is a difference between a theory and a law. Look it up yourself.

Answer 10

AT LAST!! There is intelligent life on YA. It drives me up the wall as well.

"It isn't a fact, only a theory". BECOME EDUCATED YOU STUPID PEOPLE.

i feel better now.

Answer 11

Ignorance and lack of education.

But think about it. You can show psychotics proof that their delusions are false all day, and you will get nowhere with them.

Let's do the work for them, shall we?

A theory in science is a scientific explanation based on known facts that support the theory.

Let's see how many of them explode.
