It doesn't matter what kind of prediction you are talking about, nothing about the bible counts as an accurate prediction. Everything the bible says about the future is so vague it's likely to hold true just by chance and the nature of humanity. People are divisive and violent by nature, so a prophecy of war or a civilization in turmoil 'with sin' is pretty much an inevitable fact.
The predictions were still accurate from 2012 years ago
why didn't he say that diseases will reduce because of the improving medicinal care. But he accurately knew it will still increase. You can't beat that
I could make the prediction that there will be murders, disease, famine, war, genocide, and natural disasters in the future. Those are all vague things that happen naturally in our world. So when those things happen in the future, I am not actually making any real predictions. However, some nutjob would see those predictions and would fall into the sharpshooter's fallacy for each one, claiming that there is some meaning in those vague predictions.
Looool. They were still accurate. No single fault
Homosexuality isn't any more rampant now than it was back then. You are illogically believing in some nostalgic 'better times' scenario that never actually existed. Furthermore, homosexuality is a natural occurrence (as is bisexuality) in nature amongst all species of animals.
Humans are also an animal species, so it's not like we are exempt from nature when it comes to sexual behavior. Most mammalian species reproduce in the same way, so it's completely understandable that humans would also experience homosexuality like most other mammals.
Homosexuality was a sin then and you could be killed if caught in public. But it is not now. Stop denying that it has substancially increased and that prediction was correct, it is ignorance U_U
Diseases and viruses do not form out of 'thin air.' Both diseases and viruses occur naturally within other species as a result of genetics and cell mutation. New strains of diseases occur when there is contact between two different species and a disease mutates and becomes adaptable to a new host.
There is no truth to the claim that there are more diseases and viruses now than there ever was before because we don't know what kinds of diseases and viruses used to exist. People who were living during the biblical days were completely ignorant to diseases and viruses because they had no medical science.
If you got the flu at the time when Jesus was alive, people prayed for you to get better. Most people who got the flu DIED, despite being prayed for. Now you can get a flu shot every year or two and never worry about getting the flu, thanks to our understanding of science and medicine.
It's fundamentally flawed logic to think that a people who's average life expectancy was age 30, due to the fact that they had absolutely zero scientific or medical knowledge, would have been able to distinguish the number of diseases that existed back then and provide a reliable comparison to the number we have now. People used to die from infection, the common cold, their teeth, and child birth. Now our average life expectancy is nearly 3x as long, again, thanks to our understanding of science and medicine.
Lool, as a modern person yourself, go and research from 1900 till 2012 the number of new diseases and come back and tell me if it is increasing or reducing U_U don't be ignorant. it was accurate
Again, this is fundamentally flawed logic. During Jesus' time, there wasn't an accurate or reliable method for recording natural disasters, since books were scarce, most people were illiterate, and there was no technology. Back then, when a natural disaster occurred, it was thought to be an act of god being angry, and so people prayed and made sacrifices to try and appease the gods.
However, there wasn't a single person who kept track of worldwide natural disasters in order to give us an accurate record as far back as the times of Jesus. So like your disease claims, your natural disaster claims are also false.
Now, let's assume for a moment that both your claims WERE true. What do those claims have to do with whether or not god exists, and how would they prove anything?
I told you to check for your science statistics and you can tell that it is increasing. Am I lying with this statement?
No
Hence the prediction was correct. More natural disasters than before. More earthquakes and flooding (according to scientists caused by global warming, unless you don't listen to the news too)
A prophet is someone who is picked by god to deliver his message. Ironically, no one can provide evidence that there has ever been a real prophet. On top of that, there isn't a single prophecy within the bible that couldn't have been foretold by the average person who has half a brain and even the slightest understanding of society.
Again, the prophecies within the bible are so vague and generic, anyone could reliably make them. They are not compelling, much less proof of god.
I said there are people saying that they are the messiah from God.(False prophets are more rampant)
. The prediction was still accurate. You must be trolling to deny this :sy:
It doesn't matter what calender system we use. Most of the world just happens to be religious, that doesn't make religion true, nor does that prove god's existence. Look at Christmas in America. We still celebrate it every year, even as non christians and non pagans.
Loool the fact still remains that the calendar was made from after Jesus death :shrug:
I already explained the difference between belief and knowledge. People can believe in scientists all they want to, but that isn't a necessary position to hold in order for science to be true.
We have facts that science gives us based on evidence, so the proper position to hold in the realm of science, would be knowledge, not belief. However, there are plenty of people who do not accept scientific claims simply because they don't have a good enough understanding of science to be able to justify that position, and there is nothing wrong with that.
However, when it comes down to it, no matter who doesn't believe in science or accept it, it is still providing facts and evidence to support what it says. Religion is NOT. The bible is not proof of anything. The Koran is not proof of anything. Neither one can be used as evidence to validate anything that religion says.
On top of that, both are full of immoral behaviors and events that are both condoned and commanded by god. If we still got our morality from the bible, we would never have gotten out of the bronze age.
God gave us brains to create, and be smarter. So some people will definately use their brains given by God to discover ordinary things and they think they are higher than God, hence there is no God. :sy:
The evidence science should provide is not petty cars. They should create (mountains, sky, new air, planets or even ordinary new human) then they can proudly confirm there is no God. :shrug:
