A bold vision for Christians who want to engage the world in a way that is biblically faithful and culturally sensitive.
Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible’s Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life
& Culture – Kindle edition by Watkin, Christopher, Keller, Tim. Religion & Spirituality Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.
Critical theories exist to critique what we think we know about reality and the social, political, and cultural structures in which we live. In doing so, they make visible the
values and beliefs of a culture in order to scrutinize and change them.
Biblical Critical Theory exposes and evaluates the often-hidden assumptions
and concepts that shape late-modern society, examining them through the lens
of the biblical story running from Genesis to Revelation, and asking urgent questions like:
How does the Bible’s storyline help us understand our society, our culture, and ourselves?
How do specific doctrines help us engage thoughtfully in the philosophical, political, and social questions of our day?? How can we analyze and critique culture and its alternative critical theories through Scripture???
Informed by the biblical-theological structure of Saint Augustine’s magisterial work
The City of God (and with extensive diagrams and practical tools), Biblical Critical Theory shows how the patterns of the Bible’s storyline can provide incisive, fresh, and nuanced ways of intervening in today’s debates on everything from science, the arts, and politics to dignity, multiculturalism, and equality. You’ll learn the moves to make and the tools to use in analyzing and engaging with all sorts of cultural artifacts and events in a way that is both biblically faithful and culturally relevant.
It is not enough for Christians to explain the Bible to the culture or cultures in which
we live. We must also explain the culture in which we live within the framework and categories of the Bible, revealing the whole of the Bible sheds light on the whole of life.
If Christians want to speak with a fresh, engaging, and dynamic voice in the marketplace of ideas today, we need to mine the unique treasures of the distinctive biblical storyline.

Grab some popcorn
because this is premium information 🙂The existence of extraterrestrial life remains unanswered! Till when then?
If the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence is impossible, then intelligence
would not have appeared on planet Earth either.
I have not come across any sources that provide conclusive proof of life existing
beyond Earth in all my readings. Furthermore, there are additional scientific theories
that I find puzzling or illogical. ALSO, they either already exist or will soon be born))
Even if certain details elude us, we can continue to push the boundaries of knowledge and understanding. So let us embrace the unknown and keep exploring! #Science #Mysteries #Exploration #UdineseNapoli #MayThe4thBeWithYou
Bien plus que de savoir exactement quand la vie est apparue peut-être que la question aujourd’hui est : combien de temps reste t’il avant la prochaine extinction de masse et quelle en sera la cause ? Serons-nous la météorite tueuse de vie de cette ère?
Translated Much more than knowing exactly when life appeared, perhaps the question today is: how long is there before the next mass extinction and what will cause it?
Will we be the life-killing meteorite of this era?

Well said! However, without knowledge of the origins of life,
it is impossible to find ways to save it. ))

We know nothing and scientists are already feeling they will solve every question.
Never Question God over Scientists’ arrogance because it has no limits, but their real knowledge is nothing compared with the things the universe may have. swt
Math’s Fundamental Flaw – YouTube Although I’m a fan of scientific progress.

I also know of the inbuilt flaws in math. 
And since every scientific field does include math to some extent,
its flaws also apply in other fields e.g. physics.

Science is unable to answer the most fundamental question,
who created this Universe. – Search (bing.com)
And the sad part is that the forefathers of science chose to close their minds and
stated the Universe came into existence on its own and it was created by someone.
Science says the Universe was created by the Big bang 13 billion years ago.
According to science no object can move faster than the speed of light.
Then how come the size of the universe is 94 billion light years.
Only God can do this.
We aren’t going to live long enough to know what SCIENCE will answer 80 years
from now, but we know the Bible will say the same thing as in the last 2000 years!
God created dinosaurs and because they were misbehaving, he killed them
Science can only allow it by the Creator. Our human capacity is not prepared
for the WHOLE. We are apprentices.
End Times will occur when man questions GOD over science!!!
When men and science come together, the answers will be revealed.
Furthermore, scientific knowledge is in accordance with our understanding.
Science has become more politicized and influenced by corporations with agendas.
We will have less chance of getting truthful explanations on anything.
The more they prove previous theories wrong the more they double down on those.
Science proves that scientists agree with whoever is funding them.
Real science has died, p$eudo$cience is king.

The holy spirit is a tri-un being consisting of God: father, son and holy spirit.
They exist as one and cannot be separated. But they can act separately.
Scientists on the other hand can’t understand the presence of either.
For you to understand the presence of the holy spirit,
‘you have to understand the presence of God and Jesus.
Hence the conclusion…Which doesn’t exist

Felix Cartal Worry feat Victoria Zaro – Search (bing.com)
This is possibly the best argument about life after death.
I have read “In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?” The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here too prepare ourselves for what we will be later.” 1/
“Nonsense,” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?” The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. 2/
Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”
New study reveals a major issue with meat that most people aren’t aware of: ‘The science
is actually quite clear’ (msn.com) The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous…The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and also everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. 3/
Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.” The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.” The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover, if there is life,
Then why has no one ever come back from there? 4/
Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery, there is nothing but darkness
and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.” “Well, I don’t know,” said the second,
“But certainly, we will meet Mother and she will take… care for us.” 5/
The first replied, “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable.
If Mother exists, then where is She now?” The second said, “She is all around
us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live.
Without Her, this world would not and could not exist.” 6/
Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.” To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling… down from above.” – Parable from Your Sacred Self by Dr. Wayne Dyer. 7/
Remember this… “Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt,
and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!” __ Psalm 14:1. 8/
Is it possible to live an ethical life without the perception of the existence of God?
From nonliving to living matter is organized to life by the one supreme creator beyond matter called God or the Allah swt. Whereas fact of the matter is that science has no proof to state that God does not exist. 9/
And yet many scientific observations indicate the existence of God, yet the scientific community chose to close its mind. One cannot even ask this fundamental question from scientists. 10/
‘There is Only ONE True religion & that is Islam!’-Say Muslims.
‘There is Only ONE True religion & that is Christianity!’-Say Christians.
If ‘There is Only ONE True religion’ is taken reference, then one of the
two MUST be false! Who is False out of these two then?
But the question where humans originated from and how human’s spirits will live after they die: science cannot answer consciousness? soul? eternity? a Creator? Who made All? Science only might declare the things about matter not the spiritual world.
Science just basks in the euphoria of theories without substantial evidence. Like it took us millions of years to evolve, so what next shall we evolve into? Nobody was and would be alive to witness this claim. How did nature design itself in the manner in which it did?
That’s what I would call… naively optimistic. accepting that we will NOT in fact understand all, ever, is the first step to understanding a little bit. Although (wo)men
have made great discoveries and will continue to do so, your claim is myopic.
As science advances we find that things are more and more complex.
One answer causes a thousand more questions.
Professing to be wise they became fools. St Paul – Search (bing.com)
If you cannot create life where no life exists, how did it all begin? Science can’t answer
this question truthfully and they will go against science, so they don’t have to say ‘Creator’.
The intricacies of life, the depth and beauty can’t have come from a large firecracker…
Details that were deprived of spotlight. Was that uncovered due to people’s
ignorance and lack of technicality? And that accounts for nothing. Therefore,
time is where negligence has occurred, and it is a matter of time.
Limited space is limited knowledge to comprehend time, time is a tricky concept to enter without insight, i quote somebody next to curie, imagination is more important than knowledge, and this is within time out of space, enjoy this brain riddle, the ninth salute Time is never 0f the present, it’s always in the past or future. Think about that?
Nonsense, science will never solve the great philosophical questions.
Actually science is better at answering details than the overall picture.
In fact it is impossible for science to answer general questions that pertain
to the realm of metaphysics. Science is in nature specialized, and therefore,
it does not teach anything about the nature of reality.

But 15 years later, there is not a single mile of track laid, and there isn’t enough money to finish the project. The latest estimates show it will cost up to $128 billion to complete the entire system from LA to San Francisco. But progress has been made and construction is well underway.
