A real scientist goes where the data leads, and doesn't let their bias blind them.

...or their fear.

 

"Do not be afraid, O very precious (*or very desirable, highly esteemed) man. May you have peace. Be strong, yes, be strong."

 

"But the angel said to them: “Do not be afraid, for look! I am declaring to you good news of a great joy that all the people will have."

You have a 100% valid EXPECTION that the sun will come up tomorrow. Faith would require a lack of evidence.…. And besides, the sun is not coming up …. The horizon is rotating down.

You don’t BELIEVE it is “coming up”.

You KNOW it is “coming up”.

….. based on 3-1/2 billion years of FAITH in hard evidence, which someone else figured out.

[John 12.24to28]

You can play semantic games if you want, but you know what that phrase "the sun is coming up" means.

 

True Faith is based on reality. (Fake Faith is believing something unbelievable because you think that's what faith is...that's not real faith, it's make-believe.) Real Faith is not "Believing Make-Believe."

 

Paul was mad at Christians and trying to hurt them because he didn't have enough evidence yet. Once he got the evidence that Jesus was real, he did a complete U-turn. His evidence wasn't based on make-believe.

 

"I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who imparted power to me, because he considered me faithful by assigning me to a ministry,  although formerly I was a blasphemer and a persecutor and an insolent man. Nevertheless, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and with a lack of faith.  But the undeserved kindness of our Lord abounded exceedingly along with faith and the love that is in Christ Jesus.  This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Of these, I am foremost.  Nevertheless, I was shown mercy so that by means of me as the foremost case, Christ Jesus might demonstrate all his patience, making me an example to those who are going to rest their faith on him for everlasting life. Now to the King of eternity, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen."

I know the dinosaur piloting the ship is just and artist’s illustration on an Analog magazine cover, but because of subduction I DO NOT KNOW that that could have never happened in epochs past.

[John 12.24to28]

You will get your evidence.

 

"You will see what comes next."

[John 12.24to28]

Wait for it. You will get it.

 

I have to go for now...catch up with you later...

[Pudgy]

Paul had first hand hard evidence.

I do not.

Neither do you or anyone now living.

[John 12.24to28]

I have.

 

I told you I have to go for now, but in the meantime, why don't you try a little experiment? Today. It won't cost you anything except maybe your pride. Test the theory.

 

Get down on your knees. Literally. Ask Jehovah respectfully to show to you that He exists. Ask Him. Say, "Jehovah, if you really are there, if you really are the True God, then please, will you make it so incredibly obvious to me, like getting hit by a two-by-four or a ton of bricks, because I can't believe it and I can't see it. If you're real, please show me, Jehovah."

 

You know how to do scientific research according to the scientific method. Test the hypothesis with this unprejudiced experiment. See whether you get your feedback or not.🙂

[John 12.24to28]

Then you can tell me later.

[John 12.24to28]

(Oh, yeah, and when you say your prayer, remember to ask Jehovah to show you the evidence "in Jesus name," because Jesus is the one who will carry out your request, if you are brave enough to do the experiment...😉)

[Pudgy]

I don’t need to do that.

I have faith.

It also is correct the Sun does NOT COME UP.

The horizon rotates down.

( I also believe in a zoo of subatomic particles, which I have not seen ….).

"What, me pray?" = "What elephant?"
