Please do show the spiritual texts which cover general and specific relativity.

The Bible says something about the earth and how it is good and the filament of the sky and something. The Bible that is, at least that's what I read on the internet. Many fine people on the internet, the best people, but not me, I haven't said it, but the best people probably. The best people say the earth may be - and I'm not saying it is but they are saying it - they say that the earth may be flat and that doesn't take much text to cover I have heard.

If you squint a little, the 7 days of creation in Genesis are relativistic-ish. 1 day to separate light from darkness (photons at 1 microsecond after Big Bang), another to create the sky (opaque universe at 370k years), another to form dry land and create life (earth formed, 9.3 billion years, life at ~0.2by later), etc etc. Anyone with a physics degree able to say what fraction of light speed god must have been travelling to make this happen such that only days passed for them between these events?

Maybe they're days on a logarithmic scale?

You are missing the point. The creation myths were considered complete. Nothing left to be known.

Well yes, people who believe things that aren't true won't admit that they don't know anything. I'm not sure why that's relevant though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You stated “this has been always true” to the statement that we have understanding that things are really complex and difficult to figure out. The answer to you was an example that there were times where we did not have such understanding.

Not the exact same things throughout human history.

I think their actual point was that incomplete explanations are nonetheless explanations. Still wrong though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Deal if you show me the scientific texts that covered these in 500bc since you think we've always know how complex this is.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

If your point was that religions have oversimplified complex science to the point that people thought they fully grasped it, then I agree with you. Otherwise I have no idea what you are trying to say.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I never made that claim, so how can I show you something I never claimed in the first place?
