I do think if that time travel would be a scientific discovery that could easily disprove the existence of god. So many questions could be answered just from observing the past. We could learn so very much. We could see if jesus was a real person. We could see how old the human race really is. We could get the facts about noah's ark. We could witness moses wondering the desert unwilling to ask for directions.
I am trying not to share my many thoughts about time travel and the possibility of it actual happening because this blog isn't about that. But i do wonder what other scientific breakthroughs would question christianity. Maybe just discovering time travel would kill god. I would imagine that god would never allow man to travel through time. God wouldn't let man play god, right? Like god would never let man create life too. Oh wait that was man stopping man from cloning, not god. I guess god was busy. I did hear that god was really into reality tv.
pretty sure evolution killed God eons ago, at least any truth founded biblically, but those sheep just won't let science prevail.
ReplyDeleteI would guess that fanatics would never really accept anything that challenges their faith. There are people that don't believe that carbon dating has any merit. Plus the devil did plan on the fact that the bible wouldn't mention dinosaurs so he put those bones there to make us question our faith.
ReplyDeletePerhaps God, or Jesus himself, is simply a time-traveler. That would explain a lot.
ReplyDeleteI believe both science and faith can co-exist to many people, but it also seems like science is constantly killing faith, and as a result, God. Paradox without time-travel. If there is a God, I wonder if he took this into account when creating man (and science).
If you want to see a very realistic, albeit very confusing movie about time-travel, watch the movie Primer. It doesn't really relate to the God vs time-travel discussion, but is worth seeing to stretch your mind.
I believe the general idea is that god, with all of his personalities, lives outside of time. That is how he is able to know the past, present, and future. But how would that be possible? I don't think it could be. But again we aren't meant to question or completely understand god.
ReplyDeleteFaith and science can live together, but you can't believe either one without question. Nor can you use one to justify the other. But they are both built on very different foundations. Science is on fact, and faith is belief. I do think they can live together, but i don't think it would be a happy relationship.
Well said!
