Do you remember that years ago they were actually putting volcanic ash on glaciers in the hopes of avoiding an ice age? They were trying to melt them.

Now...we see the "great minds" in science telling us the earth is warming too fast. Despite no direct evidence of increased temps in something like 15 years. So now they call it "Climate change".

Nevermind the idea of evolution, or the real humdinger -- abiogenesis. People can't comprehend the idea of a God that created the universe, but think that life spontaneously just happened.....because the universe exists (and they have no idea how it got here), and somehow chemicals just happened to collide and form life. Then....over millions and billions of years....that life grew more complicated...when nature clearly shows us that such a thing is IMPOSSIBLE. But hey....the great minds of "science" once thought the earth was flat. So yay science!

Nope. I do not remember that. Who is 'they' and where were the glaciers?

Link please.

I don't disagree with you, cupper. The picture is amazing. In fact, it's an awesome picture because a manmade device is showing us how we appear from so far away. There really is a lot of thought that can go into the picture and I found myself inspired by it.

Unfortunately, it is not proof of anything. We may all feel a little something when we look at it but in the sense of proof, it is no more proof that we are inconsequential than it is that magic man put that pale, blue dot there.

Being inspired by a picture, though, is not necessarily sufficient proof of man's inconsequence.

Pitting science against belief in God is a fool's errand, Vizio. Belief in God will lose if you have to believe science is unreliable. In truth, science and belief in God have nothing to do with one another. The desire to believe that the Bible is the 100% literal inerrant word of God is the culprit in this supreme idiocy. Science is the premiere source of truth about how our reality works. Issues of origin and purpose are theological to the dismay of scientists and laypersons alike. But there is no need to believe preposterous nonsense to maintain a belief in God.

Thank you for putting your willful ignorance on display for all to see.

If the Christian God is the obvious explanation for everything we do not yet understand, then we don't need science at all. Why try to understand anything at all if Goddidit is a satisfactory explanation?

If you are not doing the science your self, and taking some one else for their word, you are no less taking it by faith.

The reason that this not a good argument is that if you desired, you can track down all the substantiating material for the scientific claim. You don't have to just accept it on face value.
