Is Science getting closer to God and the Bible?

Ah, yes, the Bible and The Quotations of Chairman Mao.

I have one of each on my bookshelf, and I consider them about equal in terms of their claims to truth.

You have to get to number 3:

Noah Webster - The American Spelling Book

before you get to reliable claims of truth and a real Noah.

(Is this the one where they messed up aluminium?)

Is Intelligent Design getting closer to Insanity - or is
Insanity getting closer to Intelligent Design? And is
the Bible the word of Satan fooling us to believe it's
god's work, or is Science the work of God to save
us from Intelligent Design? Or the other way around?

Wow!

Much more than 300,000 words.

I'm convinced of whatever it is he is on about.

The big fonts and pretty colours were a big help.

This was the clincher for me:

My Cubic Wisdom debunks 1 sex gods.
The male god singularity and same sex
trinity equates denouncing motherhood
and supporting a state of queers - with
a price of HIV devastating life on Earth.
Faith IS NOT knowledge,
but evil of not measuring.

If DOC hadn't pointed out that lots of words make things true...I would have missed these revelations.

Thanks DOC.

WAIT!

This forum has more than 3 million posts, and since we know that every post has to be at least a word, that means that, at a minimum, this forum has at least 3,000,000 words...ten TIMES that which Newton wrote about Revelation. I guess that makes this forum more legitimate and accurate than Newton.

What would this be? Argumentum ad volume?
 
Does anyone know how many words are in the Urantia Book?

How about the Lord of the Rings?

Danielle Steele's novels?

The Mahabarata?

Kmo, I think the proper logical fallicy, at this point, is argumentum ad desperatum.

As opposed to yours, which would be argumentum ad poor spelling? :p

As for LOTR, I don't know how many words, but there's six books, each over 300 pages of a not-large-print, so 100 words per page? Call it 30,000/book, 180,000 words as a total WAG? That makes LOTR 60 times as legitimate and appropriate as Newton's book on Revelation.

Considering the quality of DOC's sources, I suggest argumentum ad spewage.

What is wrong with this idiot? Doesn't he know anything?

I'm no joobz but I do have some training in biology. The only thing a hyperbaric chamber is known to do is to accelerate the healing of distressed tissue. Athletes use it to recover more quickly from sprains, strains, stretched/broken ligaments and broken bones. This effect is caused by the athlete being immobile in the chamber (they're usually asleep) with enriched oxygen to the tissues. Oxygen is the necessary oxidizer for the fuel (food) in your body. When the body needs repair, it needs both more fuel and more oxidizer. Like everything in life, this treatment has a cost. More oxygen in the bloodstream, more free radicals in same. The patient swaps an immediate benefit for a long-term detriment.

This is the same reason that medical experts insist that you lie in bed when you have a cold, a pulled muscle, etc. Get plenty of bed rest. Sound familiar? If you are walking around doing your usual stuff, you are using most of your energy in walking, seeing, thinking etc, instead of using it for healing.

The claim that hyperbaric chambers can do anything other than regenerate tissue is bogus. It will do nothing for ADD, ADHD, depression, AIDS, arthrytis, asthma, etc. It may do something for heart disease and stroke only if tissue repair will help.

Stop believing that idiot book, DOC. It's turning your brain to mush. Maybe a hyperbaric chamber will help that.

You missed treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning. As for wound healing, not exactly. You use the hyperbaric O2 to kill anaerobes.

Pub med articles on hyperbaric treatment of infections.

I think it might also be used to treat wounds in areas of the body with vascular insufficiency. But I do not recall it being used to speed healing in general. I could be wrong but I don't think so. Michael Jackson might think it keeps him younger but I believe that is based on woo.

Yup, CO treatment is done. It's one of the best way As for wound healing, you are exactly right. It's primarily for people whose body can't naturally oxygenate the wound site, like diabetic ulcers.

There's also been some success(from what I understand) with treatment of sepsis and acute lung injury.

I would be more impressed if any holy book contained the names of elements, followed by their atomic weights, if such a book were at least 600 years old. That would be evidence of divine knowledge.

The scientific genius Isaac Newton (whom Einstein said without his (Newton's) work, his work would have been impossible) didn't spend so much time studying and writing about the bible for the heck of it. You don't write 300,000 words about a topic (as Newton did on Revelation) unless there is something of importance to write about.

Two points.

Newton the scientific genius believed that God is a unique being, and therefore, Jesus is not truly divine. He, like Jefferson and many others, regarded the idea of the Trinity as nonsensical.

And, once Newton the scientific genius became obsessed with religion, he became useless as a scientist. Newton did no new science after he turned 30. We are fortunate that he was so prolific before religion ruined him.

Actually, he did believe Christ was the "divine" Son of God. He just didn't believe Christ was equal to God.

The inventor of Calculus, and the gravitational laws that so heavily influenced Einstein, also believed in angels, demons, Noah's arc, and the universal flood.

So what?

You have still failed to answer that vitally important question DOC.
 
Well DOC is floundering about now and and cannot even keep consistent with his Lies for Jesus.

He can't keep it reel and rational and is going off the scale with fallacies, red herrings and pollocks. We will never fathom out why he keeps carping on. I guess he's just shellfish.

Eel keep on, I guess, casting his net in the vain hope of a ray of sunshine. I'll return a when he's a singing a different tuna.

There is no Cod.

Unlikely. In fifty years the concept of "bestseller" will be completely meaningless.

If you haven't heard, books will be able to be purchased through the internet and read on your computer screen. There will always be best seller lists. More than likely there will be E-books best seller lists, and hardcover best sellers.
