Oh you silly bible thumpers

Laura, how naive and unlearned you are about the Holy Scriptures and God. The man's point was made correctly.

Now about science. Who do you think created science and is the greatest sccientist of all time. In both cases, it is God! So can prove and disprove sience (those parts that are wrong) with the Bible for it is god's Word - and who is the word? Scripture tells us it the second part of the triune God - the Son of God the Fatehr - and who is the Son? - Jesus!

Laura you meant well, but you are as wrong as Adam and eve were.

And as for Albert, your opinion does matter and you do not know of what you speak.

Bible and Masturbation

God had killed Onan's older brother Er, and Judah (as the emissary of god) asked Onan to have sex with Tamar, Er's widow, so that the offspring could be declared Er's heir. The narrative implies that Onan didn't object to the sex itself, but performed coitus interruptus, spilling his seed upon the ground, so that there wouldn't be any offspring which he could claim as his own. god killed him because of his disobedience not because he spilled seed. Masturbation or Coitus interruptus are not sins in themselves but when told by god to concieve a child Onan deliberately disobeyed. Just like Adam was forbidden the fruit in the Garden of Eden it was a disobedience to eat that fruit at that time, but eating fruit in itself was not inherently evil.

Please, people, think a little for yourselves.

Oh you silly bible thumpers

Why would you try and argue against science with the bible? It's comparing apples and oranges. You can't disprove science with faith, and you can't disprove faith with science. It's as simple as that.

At the end of the day though, science is based on empirical evidence, and can actually be measured. Faith is based on a 2000 year old storybook. I'm putting my money on science.

Besides, if you feel sorry about it, won't your Imaginary Friend forgive you anyways?

Why would anyone who reads the bible also be reading a page about science? One is just a pile of nonsense that you MUST be a moron to believe, and the other is...well...Science.

Whoa...Careful what I say...maybe jesus won't want party with my ghost for eternity now.

Prostate Health

My doctor actually wrote me a prescription for "more frequent orgasms" which I used to good advantage. My father,on the other hand (so to speak) told me that it would cause insanity to masturbate. So I have a crazy but healthy prostate.

jack off artists

While masturbation in and of itself may not be defined as a "sin" in the bible, idolatry and covetousness are. If you let your prostate be an excuse to be a "jack-off artist" or porno addict, then you are sinning according to the Bible. My personal belief is that spanking the monkey for a health release occasionally is ok, Biblically. But it can lead to a bad situation when it takes the place of normal sex or becomes an obsession.

Can't beat this logic

Well then... if less masturbation leads to more prostrate cancer, but masturbation is a "sin against God", then it fallows that God wants us to get prostrate cancer. That makes me less inclined to believe in God.

On the other hand, the law of natural selection will ultimately ensure that the "non-wanking religious right" ceases to exist, having all perished from prostrate cancer and pent up sexual frustration, a fact that, in and of itself, makes me believe in God more strongly than ever.

Ha ha. The days of censoring science are drawwing to a close.

Only a few more weeks now until we see the last of the Bush Administration. May the light of Science shine brightly forever more.

Thinking Harder

This blog is the public workshop of U.S. News writer and editor Ben Harder. In articles published in the magazine, he has covered a range of sciences, including medicine, human behavior, prehistory, and evolution. Here, he can explore those and other scientific fields more fully and more informally than is possible in print. He'll share whatever seems noteworthy or potentially useful, and he invites readers to do the same.

WTOP Audio
On Feb. 24, 2008, Ben discussed the link between artificial light and cancer on WTOP radio. Listen to the interview at WTOP News. He again talked about light pollution on WTOP on March 22, exploring its environmental effects.
