Right wing religious fanatics constantly talk about Prophets and their predictions. [View all]

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.
