Recent Study Shows That the Bible Is Wrong The
Christian Bible says the words of God and states
that God is omnipotent and cannot lie. If you
think about that statement you realize that if God
is omnipotent then he should have the power to
lie. The error could not be corrected by any
additions made to the bible throughout the last
two centuries. In order to fix that error and
other scientific errors, too many changes would
have to be made to the Bible. The Bible says that
God created Earth in 6 ...

God Exists Natural World
383 words
To say that God does exist, is to say that we can
prove God exists by describing some proof we have
of this statement, or at least a being with what
we think some of the attributes of a God would be.
Since we cannot prove beyond reasonable doubt that
God exists we have to infer certain things about
how we came to be. We can do this by using terms
such as motion and causality. These are terms that
attempt to explain that for every action there
must be a cause, or chain of events, In this case,

Socrates is found guilty of the charges brought
against him. Taking into account the articles
Euthyphro, the Apology, and I. F. Stone s article,

Joey And His Friends Brown Hair Thought

death, and destruction, but still it was a
picture. All they could see was different shades
of colors twisted into many different figures.
However, these figures were no regular figures,
there was something odd abo...

When Albert Einstein proposed his Theory of
Relativity it was not accepted immediately but
eventually over time and after some debate it
became a replacement for the idea of physical
mechanics formulated by Isaac Newton to explain
the motion of large bodies in the presence of
gravity. Relativity did not totally discredit
Newtonian Mechanics but it did raise new questions
and could prove certain things that Newton could
not. There were questions, critics, and proponents
of the new idea but it cam...
