Like after death, if there's a life like jesus said, i hope to not go to hell.
If we live for eternity after death, i hope its going to be a nicer life than on earth.
hard to grasp that theres something better than on earth for some ? Because it feels like on earth its just temporary
The truth is what the facts are. The Bible is profoundly absent facts, evidence or historical corroboration, and - in fact - contradicts itself in over 400 places. Not qualities consistent with facts, truth, or an omniscient God.
So, it is less about denying the Bible than acknowledging that what is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Our existence IS short. Cherish this brief life, it is likely all there is.
Best to live it as such.
Just wrong. Laughably, embarrassingly so.
The Bible has not been affirmed in any place by any science (shall we start with the utterly indefensible nonsense in Genesis?) and the two do not overlap. Renowned Harvard paleontologist and biologist Stephen Jay Gould famously coined the term, “non-overlapping magisteria“ to describe the relationship of scripture to science. Fair to say he knew more about both than the laity.
The fact is, science has disproven or refuted EVERY TESTABLE CLAIM in the Judeo-Christian scriptures. There is not one claim in the Bible verified via scientific method. None. Zero. End of line. Nor does the Bible prove in any measure any its own magical claims.
Leave it to a Creationist to mislead others about science. If it wasn’t the traditional, avowed mission of the scripturally-infected theist cults to discredit and distort what they perceive about science for their own ends, more people would better understand it, and refrain from deluding others about it.
