In reply to Da Vinci Code..., posted by Impermanence on February 16, 2005, at 19:15:49
I just finished Angels and Demons, and last year I read Da Vinci Code. I have a lot of hot questions that I could post on PBF, but I would probably get blocked, so here's one for you.
Do you think there really are religions that supress truth and science? That is such a foreign thought to me because in mine truth and science and religion are one and very transparent. we balance one against the other and so far haven't upset the scale. There aren't as many conflicts between evolution, science, and religion as some might think. There is no miracle that doesn't follow some kind of natural law. Even when Jesus turned the water into wine, he knew matter and how to make it. Sort of like how we know how to make oxygen. Only, Jesus could command both element and energy and all things were obedient to him, except man. Well, there is at least one little difference in the evolution theory and religion to do with you and me. I don't see us evolving into anything yet and we've been around 7000 years.
The world evolved to the point where man could exist and survive, and then God placed a perfect speciman. (I hear Adam is the most handsome man who ever lived) At any rate, all of true science fits neatly into true religion, but not all religion fits neatly into science. "Angels and Demons" certainly has raised some questions, as has "Da Vinci code". Jesus lived 30 years before he began his "official" ministry. Why wouldn't he have married and had children? Seems logical to me. There is only one scripture verse that resonates he may have been, but one has to use a bit of imagination. http://scriptures.lds.org/query?words=d%26c+122%3A+6-8&search.x=20&search.y=2, but I'm probably the only one in the world who sees it that way.
