Why do most people that do not follow the Bible think that people that do are stupid?

Question

I know that I am opening myself up to some bashing but that is OK. I know about Darwin theory, yes it is a theory. I know about the anthropologists. Yes I know that scientists can
C L O N E. That is your key word, clone. Yet they can't create something from nothing. I have lived through "It is all about me". In the end it all comes up empty, the Bible answers more questions than a single scientist.

Not arrogance, life.
I am truly sorry about not using the English language in its proper context.

Perplexed67, wish I could have followed that rant.

Answer 1

Well, I don't think you are stupid. I think you have been conditioned to your belief since birth to believe it no matter what with no other options. I think that is unfortunate.

Answer 2

The bible answers lots of questions. Unfortunately it answers a lot of them incorrectly.

PI does not equal 3.0

Bats are not birds.

Hares are not ruminants.

Tyre was not destroyed, never to be rebuilt.

and lots, lots more.


You need to understand what a scientific theory is. It is about as hard a fact as you can get in science. Gravity is 'just' a theory. Relativity is 'just' a theory, but it is more accurate than Newtons LAWS of motion.

200 years ago we could not create lightning. Today we can create bolts of mega-volts. Does that mean that 200 years ago God created all lightning bolts, but over time he has allowed natural processes to take over?

Just because scientists have not recreated everything in a lab somewhere does not mean God Did It. In the next few years scientist will place totally artificial DNA into an existing bacteria. What will you say then? After that it is not a big step to create a totally artificial bacteria or virus. What will you say then?


As I said, the bible has lots of answers. Most people ignore the factually incorrect ones and focus on the philosophical ones. But ask yourself this: Do you believe those answers because there is a good underlying argument that they are correct? Or do you believe those answers because they give you a nice warm fuzzy feeling?

If it is the latter, you can get the same thing from drug abuse. Would you want to do that, or learn to accept reality and make the best of it?

Answer 3

in case you seem over diverse Bibles on the industry, you will discover that there are a sort of translations for merely the excuses you have named. There are paraphrase Bibles like the recent residing, the place the "translators" attempt to restate the strategies concept for concept quite then be conscious for be conscious. they're astounding for interpreting and getting the important flow of the e book. I easily have a pair that i exploit in many cases in my very own devotions, with the Message being my popular. yet there are additionally cases whilst i'm attempting to be sure I completely comprehend the scriptures. Then i want a translation it somewhat is as be conscious for be conscious precise as achieveable, and not someones theory of what became into pronounced. they seem to be slightly extra challenging to comprehend with an casual interpreting. yet they're needed for somewhat in intensity learn of the scriptures. I maximum in many cases use the recent Amercian nicely-known whilst desiring an extremely literal translation. In between there are a number of variations, such through fact the NIV and the KJV, which do a good activity of balancing "literal" with "readable". no longer continuously an hassle-free activity. (Have performed some Bible translating, so i know most of the matters in touch.) For myself, i went the "extra mile" and found out Greek nicely sufficient that i will examine the recent testomony in the unique language and not would desire to place self assurance in ANY translation if I don;t %. (My Hebrew continues to be merely so-so, I would desire to apply an interlinear version for interpreting the OT in the unique.) comprehend that if there have been no pupils making literal translations so as that the which ability of the ineffective Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic languages weren't being preserved, the "readable" translations which you relish does no longer be achieveable. So save an precise and literal translation of the scripture isn't "stupid". whether it is likewise no longer the form of a translation which you (or I) would % for our ordinary devotions.

Answer 4

How ironic."it's all about me" was laced with it so bad you should be fined or something.I cannot believe you said that.Obviously,you have never reflected on yourself or your religion or you would NEVER have uttered such hypoccricy.

"OK,I know about Darwins theory"...no you don't,not even a little,a few words,probably don't even know what they mean.

You blew it there with your use of the word "theory" as if a theory somehow gets a promotion or isn't true,more like a guess.You need go no farther,I KNOW,and when you said that,I KNOW you are like the rest...no clue,not a bit,utterly none.

Clone isn't my "key word"for evolution,nor does it have anything to do with it.That's unreal(I guess I should have expected it)A few words,put together as if you thought you could convince others that you knew what you were saying if you used "Darwin".."Anthropologist" "clone"..and "theory"

Words form cogent thoughts.Yours didn't.The ones that did do not demonstrate your knowledge,but rather prove your abject ignorance of the subject.Do learn.What kind of god wouldn't approve of learning?But DON'T post on here about evolution without some research from credible resources.You said not a singe thing of merit.Not a single truth,nothing.You have to learn that you need to do more than throw out a few official sounding words,thinking that fools people.It may fool those like yourself,who haven't a clue either,but it makes you look downright decietful to those of us who KNOW the theory.
I'll give you ONE hint(and you need several)..NEVER,EVER,say "it's just a theory"That AUTOMATICALLY marks you as completely ignorant an unable or unwilling to comprehend science.

Here's the pisser,You KNEW by now what a theory is,yet you imply that creationist mess that "it's a guess"You KNOW better,yet you perpetuate a lie.WHY?What god,what belief,worth following cannot stand up to truth?How very sad.You KNEW the theory definition,KNEW it,but lying,making it sound like a theory,especially TOE, is a guess,rather than the most rock solid theory we have,with multiple fields of science converging in agreement.The Bible answers nothing.It is for lazy,stupid people who don't want to think."goddidit"is a lazy excuse.How 'bout we use science to find out how god did it then?Aren't you interested in gods' creation?Man,this was so wrong,on every level

Answer 5

Honestly, the only time I've ever considered a believer to be stupid was when they argue their point with, "The bible is true, because the bible says..." You can't prove the bible with biblical passages. If it's all b.s. like non-believers think, then the passage you're quoting is b.s. too. The lack of logic that drives that kind of argument is worthy of a Dumb Stamp on the forehead.

Other than that, though, I don't think they're stupid just because they believe differently than I do.

Answer 6

Actually, scientists are creating synthetic life forms now... and I don't mean clones.

The Bible answers nothing. It contradicts itself. All churches contradict each other. Where is the consistency in your answers? It's all myth, interpretation, and supposition.

At the very least, science provides empirical evidence.

By the way, I don't think you're stupid. I would never use that word. It's just rude.

Answer 7

Have you actually read the bible? Did it not in fact create more questions than it pertained to answer? Try reading it again using the brain your 'god' gave you and then see if the book still makes sense. I think you will find out that it is actually full of bastardisations, hypocrisy, lies, dissinformation, and lunacy. Start with this question if it helps, the answer is in your holy book . Who is actually going to heaven when the rapture comes? Look carefully, cos its not you Im afraid

Answer 8

Draw up a list of all the miracles, absurdities, cruelties, and contradictions in the bible and the answer becomes obvious: "Only a stupid person could believe such rubbish?"

Answer 9

well, if the bible actually DID answer questions, there'd be no disputing it, I don't consider believers any smarter or stupider than anyone else is capable of being, religion simply fills an emotional need some people require to justify existence

Answer 10

Hmmm assuming that the people who do not follow have read it? Because even if you do not believe , you should read it at least for YOU to know why you don't believe..That goes for Christians too, you have to know other religions to know why you don't agree, otherwise its based on stupidity and close mindedness,

Answer 11

Actually, 'most' nonbelievers have never implied that.

However, most nonbelievers do not believe that 'something came from nothing.....just that there is a scientific explaination for all existence......unlike your theory, which states that something came from god and then god made something else out of a rib bone.....while comical and interesting.....it is your theory nontheless.
