Science Can't Disprove Christianity [Spirituality & Religion]

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQN5IWafUaI]

It's true, it's been true, and it always will be true: science can't disprove Christianity. Why should it since it was ordained by God, Himself. Yahweh ordained science to benefit mankind in learning about Yahweh's creation and how He's made it work. Skeptics realize this even though they'll deny it. This is why they get frustrated and resort to ridiculing, mocking, and throwing tantrums. They do their best at trying to discredit us and our Heavenly Father and still fail at accepting the fact that Yahweh lives and His Word is Truth. All we can do at this point is pray for them and not get into foolish arguments with them lest we become fools like they make themselves out to be. I feel sorry for them, I really do.

Science can't disprove that there are phone booths on Mars, either. It's an absurd proposition - - you can't prove a negative, especially one from thousands of years ago. I think where people get into trouble with all belief systems is trying to literalize them, and challenging others over "proof". I consider myself a Christian, and I don't need proof. I don't care. If Jesus never factually walked the Earth at all (which is possible), it doesn't diminish his significance one bit. This is the power and the purpose of myth - - they don't have to be literally true to carry immense universal truth. I believe everything Jesus taught and try to incorporate it into my own behavior every day, but I don't need to believe that it's literally true. It doesn't matter. It's already true in my heart.

Are you a Born Again Believer then?

@wanderingelf OMG a rational christian... you are so right. and in the end, i can follow the teachings of the christ without buying into what i consider the myth of his divinity - and i am perfectly happy for others to believe that it is not a myth.

we have much to learn from the two great teachers (mythical or not), the christ and the buddha.

@GodSpeed63 Probably not as I imagine you'd define it. Many years ago, when I was a devout, practicing Catholic, I might have passed for one. But that's OK...I know what I would do with an injured person or animal who crossed my path, and that would be to be Christ to them as much as possible, for a flawed human. I'm just very agnostic...I see the universe as miraculous, but I don't see a central consciousness that "made" it, or controls what happens in it. And while our western Jesus might have existed historically, or might not have, it is certain that the details of this particular myth are not unique to our culture. Virgin birth, resurrection, three days in the tomb, regicide, all occur in other cultures in other time periods. I think the larger lesson is that we are all connected, and that the very teachings we attribute to Jesus, such as love, compassion, humility, forgiveness and self sacrifice, are indispensable to the attainment of any civilization worth having.

@Yulianna Absolutely. You would probably also really enjoy the writings of Confucius (which I consider a precursor to the teachings of Jesus) and Lao-Tsu.

@wanderingelf yes, no disrespect in omitting them, just a rush to conclude and a preoccupied memory 🙂
