<p>Cal posted this in another forum. I am going to look through some of this and just post comments, or anything I find that is interesting. Feel free to add whatever you want.</p>

<p>I guess I will start with the note to parents section.</p>


<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">The children will learn to discern in a modern confusing world. The children will learn to recognize the nonsense and be able to discern nonsensical and technical jargon from the meaningful important substance necessary for the development and achievement in a dangerous, confusing world that is threatening to people of faith.</span></p>


<p>I guess this world is a confusing place to the author? All that nonsensical and technical jargon... blasphemy. If it goes toward disproving god or religion, or its necessity, all worthless. Hopefully his faith is strong enough to get through this confusing ass world...</p>


<p>"<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">The students who were noted to be the best achievers and rose to the top were most always those students who were strictly disciplined and fortunate to have come from </span><b>faith based </b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">families."</span></p>

<p>I don't see how this is true. Of course there is no source or reference, that would be asking to much. Also, who knows what is considered to be a 'faith based' family. In vague terms I probably did. I had to do PSR and get a first communion. But I haven't been to church in years. My parents had to do the church thing, but don't now. To claim that every top student came from a faith based family is absurd. </p>


<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Before we begin parents, there are some </span><b>very important things about some harmful elements and areas of essential knowledge</b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"> that you as parents of faith may already know and should know about. This has to do with craft you should to encourage your children to be able to recognize, to know the harmful effects thereof and to stay clearly away from. </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Be sure your kids know this, as the internet is loaded with all kinds of stuff like this.</span></p>

<p>Yes, avoid any source that may question your faith.</p>


<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(206,231,255)">There is absolutely no scientific evidence that knowledge or predictions can be gotten from spherically shape objects or crystal balls. These objects have absolutely no scientific value and have absolutely nothing at all to do with Godly things or the Bible.</span></p>

<p>Lol. That is pretty funny. There is a little section pointing out the things that aren't godly or scientific. Like members of this site would actually need to be told about dousing sticks and other things like that.</p>


<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(206,231,255)">Know that </span><b>Astronomy</b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(206,231,255)"> (a science) and </span><b>Astrology </b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(206,231,255)">(a craft) are two different words.</span></p>

<p>Well done.</p>

<p>I really love the way he can combine the words "godly" and "technical" so much. </p>

<p>This dude is all about science, but then uses passages from the Bible to prove what he says. I feel like there is a disconnect in his logic there.</p>


<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">The </span><b><i>children of faith</i></b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"> will learn to recognize non-sense, unfounded speculations and sloppy science, especially the arrogant and aggressive attacks of non-believers aimed at the weakening of the faith of </span><b><i>Believers</i></b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">.</span></p>

<p>I agree. If it is disproving or attacking your faith, it is nonsense and sloppy science. Well done!</p>


<p>From the about the authour page</p>

<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(198,219,255)">With the intense levels of cosmic radiation beyond our solar system and galaxy, there is NO WAY possible that a living organism with the complexity of the </span><b>human DNA molecule </b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(198,219,255)">could survive the journey through the hostile deep space of the cosmos and fall into the Earth's atmosphere at meteoric velocities</span></p>

<p>I don't think anyone is saying that is how they got there</p>


<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(198,219,255)">It is my desire to see believers, people of faith, get clearly away from the so-called </span><b>"Young Earth"</b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(198,219,255)"> ideas, the teachings thereof and the so-call </span><b>Young Earth</b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(198,219,255)"> philosophies. Evidence clearly shows that the </span><b>Young Earth</b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(198,219,255)"> theory arises chiefly from those who claim to be experts in the science of the age of the Earth and the beginning of mankind, and at the same time the experts grossly misinterpret the Bible or they lack knowledge thereof. </span><b><i>People of faith</i></b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(198,219,255)"> who shy away from the sciences may be equally responsible for the arising of the so-called </span><b>Young Earth</b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(198,219,255)"> philosophies.</span></p>

<p>He doesn't think the Earth is 6,000 years old, which is good. But apparently he is combining science and the bible in the right way, but the young earth guys aren't. How you can say one is incorrect and then say the other is correct is beyond me. </p>


<p>on the big bang</p>

<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(198,219,255)">The thought that all the mass of the universe was once assembled at one single point and then suddenly overcame its gravitational grip, expanding out into the universe, is an intimidation to sound minds. This is especially so when it is being taught by non-believers who are in front of the classrooms filled with faithful young innocent, bright and potentially creative minds.</span></p>

<p>For how sure he is in his faith, he seems very worried that others of faith can easily be swayed by this crazy scientific theories...</p>


<p>The section on Noahs ark is great too.</p>

<p>I didnt know Noah started the Ark on his 500th birthday and completed it on his 600th. Also Noah didnt round up EVERY ANIMAL SPECIES ON EARTH. Instead they came on their own. Also the door was shut by god!</p>

<p>I also like the way he points up some things in the Bible, and uses science to say some interpretations are wrong or whatever. Then he uses his method of science to show what the RIGHT interpretation is.</p>

<p>Also all of the water that was used to flood the earth was in a water vapor canopy above the Earth. This canopy blocked cosmic radiation and allowed people to live for hundreds of years. This give proves this by.... using the bible. People werent said to have lived as long after Noah, and there is no mention of stars and the heavens until after the ark story (because the water vapor canopy blocked them).</p>



<p>This site is crazy. This guy flashes his PhD and uses some moderately scientific words, to give people more support in their beliefs. I dont see anything being proved here. I dont see any damning scientific evidence. You cant prove religion with the bible. It is circular logic. Anyone that actually really does believe everything this guy says must actually need this site to shield and protect themselves from that crazy confusing modern world. </p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/topic/28354/scienceinthebible.net-from-cal</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 04:40:33 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://brownsboard.com/topic/28354.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Sat, 01 Feb 2014 05:20:14 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to ScienceInTheBible.Net - From Cal on Sun, 13 Apr 2014 03:54:08 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>I watched Religulous today.

<p>Well boys as much fun as anti Bible snark maybe the fact is the book of Genesis is what it is. If you're doing a movie about that subject and you fuck a lot of things up then it's not every good representation of the source. That's pretty much all there is to that. Like I kinda said in movies if Peter Jackson would have put the Wicked Witch of the West in the Lord of the Rings it would be a bad interpretation of the source material.

<p>The difference is I hope nobody sees the LOTR trilogy or the Hobbit as factual or historical. The Bible is viewed by some as fact, others as partial fact, others as a collection of metaphors based on fact, and as complete fiction by yet others. I think this sets up different expectations. </p>

<p>Anyway, looking forward to your Draft Day review.

<p>Of course it doesn't. Mathematics is the only field where you'll find proofs. Science speaks in terms of evidence, and there is overwhelming evidence for evolution. If you disagree with it, you need to point out your evidence. As of now, there's not another theory out there that compares to the theory of evolution. That may change in time, but only with the proper evidence.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/396334</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/396334</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[VaporTrail]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2014 14:33:44 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to ScienceInTheBible.Net - From Cal on Mon, 31 Mar 2014 12:53:53 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Then disagree with it and present a better alternative using the scientific method.

We don't know). </p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/395650</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/395650</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[VaporTrail]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:10:18 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to ScienceInTheBible.Net - From Cal on Wed, 26 Mar 2014 14:55:16 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/vaportrail" aria-label="Profile: vaportrail">@<bdi>vaportrail</bdi></a> <a href="/post/395646">said</a>:</p><div>
