As you like quoting from the Holy Bible here are some texts for you to ponder:
Preparing to ponder.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians 1:18)
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (1 Corinthians 1:25)
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they
are spiritually discerned. (1 Corinthians 2:14)
So what?
Evolution is claimed to be scientific, then why can't science prove it beyond any shadow of a doubt?
Define "beyond a shadow of a doubt". Chihuahuas and Great Pyrenees are the same species. So are wolves. We have both chihuahuas and great Pyrenees because human beings have selectively bred these characteristics from wolves. Their genes are merely being expressed in different ways. Congratulations, evolution is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.
If belief in God is unscientific, then why can't science prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that God does not exist?
Because it is not NECESSARY for science to disprove God. It IS necessary for those who assert that there is a God provide evidence that demonstrates "beyond a shadow of a doubt" that God exists. For a guy who is supposedly everywhere, God leaves NO evidence of his existence. His massive flood, which
as I have demonstrated on this forum is physically impossible, left absolutely no evidence whatsoever. A flood as described in the Bible, killing everything other than the contents of the ark, would have left more than enough evidence to demonstrate that such an event occurred. We have fossil records of much less successful extinction events than this dating back to 250 million years or more. If THAT evidence can be found, the flood evidence should be able to be easily found. You should be able to go out into your backyard, dig down a meter or so, and find a treasure trove of fossils. Yet this just isn't the case. If you are testing a hypothesis, then if it is true, the evidence predicted by the hypothesis should emerge. In the case of God and his flood, this does not happen. When making a positive claim, the hypothesis "There is a God and it is the one in the Bible", then the evidence corresponding to the Bible should be there, and if it is not, then the hypothesis is FALSE. Damn I love science.
As neither the belief in evolution or belief in God can be proven scientifically, both come down to faith.
This is just being silly. No, it is not down to faith, because I have just demonstrated that there is evidence for evolution, and there is not evidence for God. Faith is believing something WITHOUT evidence. Since there IS evidence for evolution, belief in evolution (or as I prefer to call it, "acceptance of the theory of evolution as the best explanation for the diversity of life forms on our planet based upon overwhelming evidence", because it's not really a belief in the same way as religion is a belief), evolution is NOT faith based. Since there is no evidence for God, belief in God IS faith based.
And anyways science doesn't seek to "prove" anything. Science proposes hypotheses to explain some phenomena, and then test that hypothesis to gather evidence, whether that evidence supports the claim or not. If the evidence supports the claim, other scientists test the hypothesis, and gather evidence, and see if it supports the claim. If it the evidence consistently suggests the hypothesis, then the hypothesis is accepted until evidence to the contrary comes along, at which time a better explanation is required and a new hypothesis tested. Science doesn't claim to be able to prove the absolute truth about everything (religion however does make this claim). Science seeks to find explanations for our universe and use that knowledge to improve the human condition. That's why you are emailing us and not sending us a stone tablet on a donkey. Science is USEFUL. Religion is not. It has not provided a satisfactory explanation of ANYTHING. In fact science has repeatedly demonstrated that the hypotheses put forth by religious people were false. To say that both religion and science are faith based is itself a faith based position.
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
Like the sand that is soaked in the blood in which you willingly bathe for your own salvation? How righteous indeed.
