Why post information from religious websites as if it were true? Historic or scientific sites not available?

Question

Religious websites skew information toward their own beliefs, as many Christian researchers have commented on. Historic or scientific websites would carry much more weight with many of us outside the Christian community, as they have evidence to back their claims. Posting verses from the Bible with religious links to attempt to back it up is about equal to quoting nursery rhymes and using Mother Goose as evidence of its veracity.

Answer 1

As useless as those religious links are I'd rather see them than half of the freakin bible cut and pasted into an answer.

rejoiceinthelord - Are you kidding? Please tell me you're just kidding.

Answer 2

I sometime do discovered things that is related to the bible,like for those practitoners who practise harvesting Qi or energy.For example when Moses saw God it was God's magnificient energy that transfomed his hair into white color and his face was glowing like a lighted bulb and the people had to cover his head with a veil to talk to him.Qi or energy that the practitioner of Qigong practise can be use for healing and perform transformation on plant growth whether they grow straight or twisted.For example Paul was hit by a bright light and was blinded and later healed.The bright light emitted from Jesus is pure energy that is beyond our imagination and it can blind or heal just like Paul case. Practitioner who uses Qi or energy today to heal is less powerful and magnificient as compare to God's Pure magnificient and all powerful energy that is beyond our imagination an understanding.Also when God create man.God say lets create man in our image and the image is pure energy which we now possess and its make up of billion of proton,electron and others particles.Every scientific invention or creation are all related to the bible.Without the bible there is no creation or discoveries.It's just a void and dark formless world which we cannot exist.

Answer 3

It is simplistic to think that anybody including scientists are above bias.it is equally simplistic to think that a scientist if he is religious is uncouple of doing research. If in doubt try reading the book Icons of evolution by Jonathan Wells. This book was criticised by Eugenie Scott head of the National Centre for Science Education although she admitted it is technically correct. this book contains many of the false and misleading examples scientists have used as proof of evolution in some cases for decades after they knew it was false. If a web site is untrue then it should be easy for you to refute the arguments presented therein. I should add that Jonathan Wells works are now used in a number of states to help filter what is permitted into science text books.

Answer 4

With generalizations such as those, I have difficulty believing you are acquainted with authoritative scholarship on any historical subject, religious or not. But nice use of the word "veracity." That is a start. Scholarship begins when one can suspend bias long enough to engage meaningfully with a given subject, a task I doubt you are mature enough to manage. When you discuss the religious commitments of the scholars instead of the scholarship or claims, you give yourself away so easily. Don't wear your heart on your sleave.

Answer 5

lol True. But, I do love Mother Goose. All her poems and rhymes are spells in hiding. I do love a good fairy tale. lol

Answer 6

I presume people post it as if it were true because they believe it to be true. Truthfully, I'd extend your observation, as I think any information from the web should be treated as suspect.

Answer 7

It takes faith to believe Darwin's theory.... and it takes even less to believe the Bible. You must believe.... Just stating supposed scientific facts or historic facts is still stating someone elses opinion as they wrote those supposed 'facts' down for future generations. There will always be revisionists to alter history... to get you to believe what they want you to believe. I have found that faith placed in God, based on the bibilical account is more valid that the theories of godless men. Besides, when I die, I have a hope of heaven. When the godless die, they have hope of nothing! You may call it fairy tales now, but in eternity, you will see the truth but it will be too late. Choose to believe now.

Answer 8

people post links to websites that contain information they find that supports their answer

if you don't like it, then you should ask Yahoo to remove the 'Know your source? List it here:' feature, and you won't have to cope with links that bother you anymore

Answer 9

So true
