Re: My post #55 and your response # 59 (liked by Ivuga):
God's existence is documented in the Bible, which you don't believe and you view it as a Jewish mythology. Only scientific evidence makes sense to you, fair enough!
Science Proves God exist
Charles Darwin started a theory of evolution which later was taught in biology classrooms including here in Bongo, there was a theory of use and misuse which basically said If an organ or muscle is used excessively it will grow bigger and if not it will decrease in size and if that continues for a long time that organ or muscle will become vegetative or lost. They pointed out to an appendix being a vegetative organ and a proof of the theory. Furthermore, students were also told that living things acquire organs or loose them depending on the need, for example Jongoo (millipeds) lost their eyes that way millions of years ago. That was aethist propaganda to mislead and distort the truth about God by hiding behind science.
Molecular genetics has proved that living things carry within themselves INFORMATION coded in their genes as DNA which determine their appearance, size and types of organs they constitute. Information is not material, you need an intellectual being to think and give information. Now who thought of this information, designed it and coded it into living thing's genes to give them order to reproduce in their own kind and likeness?
God and Science?
Are they incompatible? Do they contradict or disapprove each other? No they don't.
The trouble is among the scientists themselves and not science. I think Kiranga you are a man or woman of good knowledge with a background of science, if that is a case then i assume you must have heard a recent controversy among global warming scientists, how they cooked and skewed data to prove that there is global warming (another God denying hoax), not only they skewed and cooked data, they suppressed data which didn't favour their point of view.
Take a historical look at Europe, they rebelled against religious beliefs in the 18th and 19th centuries well marked by the French Revolution and they declared that humans are capable of controlling their own destiny and they don't need God to help them. This gave birth to a lot of European movements including humanism, socialist/communism, aethism etc. Europeans started to move in a different direction and needed justification for their action and the only best justification was to prove that God does not exist. So they recruited scientists among their own ranks including people like Charles Darwin.
In today's world, most scientists have an aethist's point of view, some are open aethist like Prof. Hawkins in UK, they continue the job which were started by Darwin and co. to prove the non existence of God.
I always prefer to warn people to know whose documentation they read both in politics and science.
Religion and science
Again i draw your attention to Europe before Christianity, People there lived in underground caves, of course to survive freezing winter and they were sacrificing humans and other traditional worships just like our African ancestors did. There were no schools neither science. Check the history of Saint Paul Church in London, it is supposedly the first school in UK. Modern education and science started by those who believed in God, especially God of Jesus Christ! Majority of first scientists were believers and God fearing people (Isaac Newton, Estein,Pasteur etc)
If Modern science is incompatible with God, how could it have been started up by God believers? Why in Tanzania schools were started everywhere missionaries settled if knowledge and science contradicts God. This situation is not only in Tanzania, it is throughout the world developed and non developed. Many governments in every country nationalized or made agreement with religious institutions to take over their schools.
Did aethists or other non believing people start a school to teach science to their children anywhere in the world? They might have started schools but they taught sacrifices to gods and spirits .
In summary
1. Discovery in molecular genetics of Coded genetic information in form of DNA in living things, is a huge challenge for those who deny the existence of God
2. Modern education and science was started by believers
3. Earlier scientists also believed in God
4. A group of scientists with a rebellious mind started after the French revolution to satisfy the appetite of non believing European in their new belief that humans don't need God for anything.
5. The Rebellious group of scientists have grown to become the mainstream of science and they control and all the scientific opinion
6. The damage has been so serious that at our present time most of European and other westerners are anti God
7. People in other part of the world like Africa we are just blind followers to our own peril.
