Which gets me thinking: not that “judgy” stuff so much that has me wondering’. It’s like: “he’s the creator of the universe, and he’s sending a message to humankind. Why didn’t he mention Black Holes, or Quarks, or neutron stars, or string theory, or gravity waves, or atoms, or quantum theory, or....”.
Well you get the pic and one could go on.
I guess apologists would say “well of course He (“he”?) didn’t because at the time you wouldn’t have understood it”. But then there are plenty of other things we don’t understand in the Bible. Like what is it with snakes talking? Or burning bushes talking? Or Arks that can hold all the animals in the world (in twos)? So that’s not the reason.
And in any case, surely He could have updated us from time to time. I mean, Mohammad was much later than Jesus and even more much later than Moses, so why didn’t he have any new info for us? Like a Bible 2.0 or Koran v2?
We had to figure out all this stuff ourselves, no thanks to Him.
But now, as we wonder if there is life on other planets, which the James Webb Space Telescope (not God) will help us find out, why couldn’t God or Allah or Thor, or Zeus, or whichever god takes your fancy, why couldn’t They (that’s their pronoun now, I guess) give us a clue? Like: “There is sentient advanced life on a star in the middle of Andromeda Galaxy. Coordinates are.... “
ADDED: “Black holes mentioned in the Koran”?? [from the panel above]. Like the alleged prognostications of Nostradamus. Nonsense stretched stretched into long long slim slivers of angel hair pasta. Silly and the triumph of hope and Blind Faith over reason. The“evidence”:
Then I swear by the setting place of the stars,
And indeed, it is a mighty oath – if you could know.
-- Surah Waqiah 56:75-76
That’s it?? You’re kidding, right?
