Right wing religious fanatics constantly talk about Prophets and their predictions.

[Lint Head]

But they ignore the predictions of science which constantly come true. I call it prediction hypocrisy.

Science and scientists have proven to be Prophets. The Bible talks about earthquakes and upheavals in the Earth which have been common around the world since the Earth existed. So it's not a stretch to predict an earthquake in some general sense. Science is specific about massive storms, flooding and destruction. Science talks about specific places where destruction can happen.

We live in a world of crazy ideas. That homosexuality can bring on a storm. A tornado. An earthquake. Apparently God's will ignores human beings killed by the storm. But God's will saved a family bible. Apparently paper is more important than a human being.

Science ignores nothing and accepts theories and theorems that are tested to prove a fact.

We are fighting conjecture when we argue with people who believe adamantly in a spirit that causes destruction. These people are still living, in their minds, during the time of multi gods. The sun god. The god of war. The god of the ocean. They are mixing the multi god concept with a single deity.

I see billboards that say, "Jesus Saves". We need billboards that says, "Humans Save Humans".

True empathy does not seem to exist in people who do not believe in science when we have conjecture electing a bigoted racist liar who loves the leader of a country who is a murderer. That's a fact.

1. Hit that nail dead on n/t

2. Shut up and suffer, your reward is in heaven

[Girard442]

3. They don't pay attention to their own stuff either.

2 Timothy, Chapter 3 (KJV)

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

4. A pair of iron beams in the shape of a T is proof of divine providence

Even if 3,000 died in the terrorist attack that exposed the beams when the buildings collapsed.

[Girard442]

5. A building with tens of thousands of structual members meeting at right angles...

...is destroyed and one of the pieces of rubble left is in the shape of a "+". I mean, man, what are the odds?!

[Orrex]

6. Days after the tsunami in 2004

A young boy apparently drifted back to shore on the plank or door on which he'd been dragged out to sea. It was praised a miracle and proof of His infinite mercy and benevolence blah blah blah.

More than 180,000 confirmed dead, but this one lucky survivor was exploited as proof of the divine. How can anyone read such a thing and not be disgusted by it? And it happens all the time. A house fire kills a family except the newborn in the crib. A missionary's plane is shot down over Columbia, and it's proof that God was ready to call the dead missionary home. A brilliant surgeon saves a patient, and God gets the credit for the save.

This is commonly described as "Proof by incomplete destruction."
