Science Changes

Without looking at the theories in science vs. religion, one of the key differences is that religion stays the same over the years. Finding flaws and correcting them brings us closer to the truth. This may mean, disproving some well know "facts". This may mean bringing forth evidence that supports new theories.


Religion changes when its forced to. Like slavery. It was ok in the bible. But guess what! It’s illegal now. Why? CAUSE IT IMORALLY WRONG! Except for the hard core Christians, most people have had "un-holy sex" before marriage... this has only changed over hundreds of years...

There is a book called "Going, Going, Gone." subtitled "Vanishing America" by: Susan Jonas & Marilyn Nissenson. The book talks about things that used to be common place, but aren't around today. Some of the things are:

• black and white movies
• blue laws (except in SC where I live...)
• Girdles
• hitch hiking
• Leisure suits
• nuns
• paper dolls
• polio scares
• soda fountains
• tv antennas
• type writers

AND

• wedding night virgins

From the article about the wedding night virgins, there is a quote from a 25 year old, who’s friends intrudes her at parties as "this is Chris, she doesn’t drink and she’s a virgin." This of course is embracing to Chris, and she gets mad at her friends for saying so... She is "proud of her self-control" and yet does not fit in cause this common place, bible rule, has just faded away...


In conclusion, the bible has out dated rules that don’t apply to today’s world, and on rules that make no sense... check out this video on some of the wack rules in the bible:

When Was The Bible Written?

The Bible was written over a period of 1400 to 1800 years by more than 40 different authors. The Bible is a compilation of 66 separate books, divided into two primary divisions: the Old Testament (containing 39 books) and the New Testament (containing 27 books). It is believed that all of the books of the Bible were written under inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

The first five books of the Old Testament (known as the Pentateuch or Torah) was written by Moses during the forty years that the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness (1450 - 1410 B.C.). The twelve historical books of the Old Testament continue to record the history of the people of Israel under the leadership of Joshua, through the period of the Judges and the reign of the kings of Israel. The books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther record the history of Israel following its period of captivity under Babylonian rule. The historical books span the history of Israel from 1050 - 465 B.C.

The books of Job, the Psalms, the Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon are considered the poetical books of the Old Testament. Scholars have been unable to determine with any specificity when Job was written. Based upon the manners and customs recorded in the text, many believe that the book was written during the time of the Patriarchs of the faith. The individual Psalms, comprising the entire collection, were written from the days of Israel's Exodus to its restoration after the Babylonian captivity. Many of the Psalms were written by King David during his reign over Israel. The entire book was compiled between 1000 - 300 B.C.

King David's son, Solomon is credited with writing Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon, during his reign (971 - 931 B.C.). The seventeen Prophetical books of the major and minor prophets span Israel's history from 700 - 450 B.C. For 400 years after the writing of the Book of Malachi, the Lord was silent and the Old Testament was closed.

It is generally agreed that the Book of Mark was the first Gospel written and that it was written between A.D. 50 and 75. Of the four Gospel's, John's is considered to have been the last one written, around A.D. 85. The Book of Acts, a historical account of the establishment of the early Christian church, is believed to have been written by one of the Apostle Paul's associates, around A.D. 62 (near the end of Paul's imprisonment in Rome).

The Pauline Epistles (the Apostle Paul's letters to the early church) were authored between A.D. 50 - 67. The author of Hebrews is unknown, but the book is commonly thought to have been written around A.D. 70. The epistles of the other Apostles were written between A.D. 48 - 90.

The Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is believed to have been penned by the Apostle John between A.D. 70 - 95.

The Pledge of Allegiance

There is one thing that school children recite every day in school. They learn it in kindergarten.
It’s the Pledge of Allegiance. As most every one knows it goes,
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Let's look at this again, "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." This poem seams alright. But there is one part that somewhat stands out, it is "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

WHY IS THAT IN THERE??!! Don't we have religious freedom? Yes we do so why? Some may say "well it’s always been there." Well, NO IT HAS NOT!! The one nation under god part was not added until 1954!!!

I may sound like a broken record when I say that about the pledge, but it just seems wrong. I HAVE to recite the pledge every morning when I get to public school. I do recite it as it supposed to be, including the "Under god" bit. Here are some interesting facts about the under god part of the pledge of allegiance.

• "Under God" was officially incorporated into the Pledge of Allegiance June 14, 1954 by a Joint Resolution of Congress amending § 7 of the Flag Code enacted in 1942.

• The man to first initiate the addition of "under God" to the Pledge was Louis A. Bowman (1872-1959).

• At a meeting on February 12, 1948, Lincoln's Birthday, he led the Society in swearing the Pledge with two words added, "under God." He stated that the words came from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. He repeated his revised Pledge at other meetings.

• In 1952, Holger Christian Langmack wrote a letter to President Truman suggesting the inclusion of "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.

• Bills were introduced in Congress as early as 1953, when Representative Louis C. Rabaut of Michigan sponsored a resolution at the suggestion of a correspondent

• In a 2002 case brought by atheist Michael Newdow, whose daughter was being taught the Pledge in school, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the phrase "under God" an unconstitutional endorsement of monotheism when the Pledge was promoted in public school

• In 2004, linguist Geoffrey Nunberg criticized the addition of "under God" for a different reason. The original supporters of the addition thought that they were simply quoting Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. However, Nunberg said that to Lincoln and his contemporaries, "under God" meant "God willing" and they would have found its use in the Pledge of Allegiance grammatically incorrect.

• A bill — H.R. 2389 — was introduced in Congress in 2005 which, if enacted into law, would have stripped the Supreme Court and most federal courts of the power to consider any legal challenges to government requiring or promoting of the Pledge of Allegiance.

• In 2006, in the Florida case Frazier v. Alexandre, No. 05-81142 (S.D. Fla. May 31, 2006) "A federal district court in Florida has ruled that a 1942 state law requiring students to stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

• On October 5, 2009, a 10 year old boy named Will Phillips refused to stand during the Pledge of Allegiance during his fifth grade class at West Fork, Arkansas Elementary School. He was protesting the lack of "liberty and justice for all," because of how he saw gays and lesbians being denied rights such as marriage and adoption of children.
