Scientists aren't going against God. They're observing the universe and making predictions (and testing them) using those observations. If that disagrees with your bible, too bad.
You can't assess the accuracy of science using religious scriptures.

ok... you gotta understand where they get that conclusion from first before you start bashing it. second, who ever said heaven was part of this universe? didnt Jesus explicitly say that his kingdom was not of this world? why are you worried about this universe anyway then?
they came to that conclusion by observing the fact that all the stars we can see are moving away from us and the ones which are farther away from us are moving away faster. this leads them to the THEORY that the universe is accelerating outward for reasons which they do not yet agree on. The thing with science is that its always up for being rewritten when someone comes along with a better theory which more closely matches the observed evidence. if you can put some evidence to the universe lasting in an infitite stable state, go right ahead, and maybe youll get a THEORY named after you.
No ones going against the bible by trying to explain the observable universe. In fact, i know many scientists who are devout believers.
Besides, didnt Jesus say that everything in this world must one day come to pass, and that the only lasting thing is the kingdom of heaven? doesnt this mean that the world will one day cease to exist?
science donesnt hate religion and religion has nothing to do with science. the two are mutually compatable with a little bit of understanding.

Oh come on! You know I think that more often than not atheists unfairly criticize and generalize with respect to christians on this site, but when you ask a question like this it's hard to say they don't have reason sometimes. The physical universe has absolutely nothing to do with heaven. Heaven is a spiritual place! Also, the bible is not a science book or anything close to that nature. It teaches profound spiritual truths. It does not, at any point try to make any scientific claims. If you understood it properly you would know that.

Scientists do not go too far against any gods. They do not single out one deity that I see. Some believers sound paranoid with delusions of grandeur and of persecution. It is more glamorous to believe one is a martyr to a holy cause than to realize he believes in nonsense that scientists expose as just that. You should study science and see what it really says. There are variations of the Expanding Universe that do not lead to its end. The Bible has scientific errors galore, so it is wise to go against it. Two parts say pi is 3.00. If I used that in engineering work, I would be fired for incompetence. From Genesis to Revelation, the sky is considered to be a firmament or solid dome a few miles above us that will roll up like a scroll and shake loose small stars that fll to Earth. That is pathetically ignorant. Many Greek thinkers knew much more astronomy than any authors of the Bible. I was going against the Bible when I was age 7, because I saw it was so often badly wrong.

No, I don't. Most scientists don't believe in a god because they understand how things work without that magical explanation. I do agree that what scientists say goes against the Bible, because they are talking about fact and the Bible is mythology.
If scientists are so evil, why are you using a computer? The Bible doesn't say you can. Do you ever take medications to cure illness? Those rotten scientists helped to develop those, too. How come scientists are brilliant except when they're disproving your fictional belief system?

Scientists observe phenomena and record facts. They can also predict future events from the observed facts.
If what they discover disagrees with the bible or Koran or any other book, then it is more than likely that those books are wrong.
Furthermore, the bible was written by simple people of the bronze age period who had very limited knowledge of the world and the cosmos.
That's why it is now called the Buy Bull.

Christians & Atheists alike understand there is an eternal, unchanging good judgment that governs the Universe & created guy. the classic Greeks known because it the emblems. The Darwinists call it organic regulation or organic determination or Physics. The Christians call it God. (John a million:a million) it is particularly much impossible to doubt the emblems. The very theory-approximately 'evidence' revolves around the concept of a relentless good judgment to the Universe. understand? If no longer something occurred the same way two times, the concept-approximately evidence ought to no longer exits. The 'evidence' of the emblems is the very theory-approximately evidence. "God" in spite of the undeniable fact this is the perception that the emblems is wise, that the Universe is Alive.... ....this is a lots trickier concern to coach or disprove. in spite of the undeniable fact that, if we make the (unfounded) ASSUMPTION that the Universe isn't alive, we are nonetheless left with ourselves as evidence that an unintelligent emblems can & does create intelligence. meaning unintelligent layout delivers upward push to smart layout, which in turn supplies upward push to the just about inescapable end that someplace interior the Universe, something has developed to the factor the place we'd locate it indistinguishable from GOD. Now none of this says God made the international in 6 days, or that God placed on human flesh so He ought to narrate to us. yet is does say, to particularly much the same actuality that we are able to appreciate something, that we are able to appreciate something like God is offered.

Science has served humanity well. Through it we have discovered countless natural laws of the universe and use that knowledge to make our lives easier in every area of our existence. But to limit a theist's proofs to the confines of what the atheist demands is terribly one sided.
To a Christian, there are experiences that science and logic cannot explain.
The atheist needs to recognize that we have experiences that are life changing. No mere psychological set of theories explains the changes in our lives.
So please, don't mock them. Can science nail down all that exists in mind, body, and soul? No.
Can it quantify the beauty of a sunset, the cooing of a baby, or the love of a man and a woman?
Science and logic have served us well, but they are not the ultimate truth to all things.
Of course, that does not mean we ignore science.
In fact, we use it in our proofs for God. But to limit the playing field to your set of rules is an improper way to start. It is mostly an attempt to initiate control and keep command of the conversation by setting the ground rules according to your criteria.
Though an atheist may not accept biblical evidence at support for God's existence, it does not negate the fact that the Bible is evidence. Whether or not the atheist wants to accept it, is another matter.

No, if God exists then there should be evidence that he does. If he exists and has "foreknowledge" then he designed man to learn and would know that man would learn all he could about the universe.
Cosmology, and other sciences are not guesswork, they are based on proven methodologies and are subject to not only peer review but having their findings replicated. This is a self correcting system, i.e. as findings are reviewed errors are caught and corrected. Most, if not all, hoaxes and errors are caught by the scientific community and not by external "watchdogs".

I understand that any word or thought that goes against your religious doctrine (Bible) is considered 'wrong' by you.
But what is this 'too far'? Do you get to dictate what is proper to discover, reveal, theorize or state?
Who should dictate what freedom of speech and science should be? It's not like this scientist you mentioned (what was his/her name?) are burning Christians for daring have a different theory...
What is 'too far'? And who says so?
I think you have given away the fact that you know little to nothing of science when you state that 'science thinks it knows everything'.
You got that backwards. Science is always disproving itself and moving on when it is found at fault. Science is about enquiry.
Religious dogma is often concerned with 1. Suppressing enquiry, and 2. Claims to have all the 'answers' already. Both of which you have demonstrated here.
The question now is, who should tell these scientists that they have 'gone too far'?
Is it time to lock them away or kill them again? Galileo, etc?
Do you have a particular religion in mind that should govern what is 'proper' to study or publish?
