You mean the method of modern science that Christians discovered and perfected?

That would be an emphatic NO. It is yet another in a long line of myths that Christians perpetrate. Magic trees, talking animals, disembodied hands appearing out of nowhere, men defying gravity, would be a few others.

If anything, an early Persian could be credited with the most modern version of the scientific method. Ibn al-Haytham specifically championed the following method:

1. Explicit statement of a problem, tied to observation and to proof by experiment
2. Testing and/or criticism of a hypothesis using experimentation
3. Interpretation of data and formulation of a conclusion using mathematics
4. The publication of the findings

That is the very definition of the scientific method, so you can quit pretending otherwise and quit perpetrating fraudulent ideas that because certain guys were culturally Christian (under threat), that beliefs in magic and the impossible had a shred of anything to do with following Ibn al-Haytham's ideas. Even before him, Aristotle championed an empirical method of scientific thinking which absolutely predates even the concept of Christianity. Not to mention that science and technology was also flourishing in China and India with ZERO influence from Christianity, Judaism or Western thought. And it has been argued by some that it was actually the influences of the far east that were transported over by ancient Muslim scholars that kicked off the Renaissance (as opposed to the Muslim scholars preserving the ancient Greek ideas only).

This is a very easy bit of propaganda to debunk with minimal effort. All it takes is looking up the, again, wildly inaccurate and self promoting ideas floating around apologist circle jerks.

Your username is the perfect definition of not only irony but also the delusion of self-grandeur that is so common in online atheism.

Except what he's saying is factual, what you're saying is a cutesy meme naming some Johnny-come-latelys from the modern era.

Christians routinely burned people at the stake for presenting any notions outside of flat Earth and talking goats. It isn't called the Dark Ages for nothing. Their place in the Byzantine Empire as well has been credited with making it a tad bit lackluster compared to its predecessor.

Modern science emerged DESPITE Christianity and his efforts to hold it back for millennia, not because of it. And yes, if it wasn't for the Middle East, Central Asia, East Asia, and the Silk Road, Europe would still be a place of log cabins with grass-covered roofs made out of donkey manure and thatch.

This right here ^ this kind of comment is exactly how I know you don't know the science that you brag about owning. You use science as a prop.

I don't "own science" no one does.

Nice deflection from your historical illiteracy, btw.
Almost.

I can't dodge shots that aren't really fired. Like how you can't really claim to "know history" by ignoring the parts you don't like. Such as the Christians who founded and perfected Western Science.

You ignoring what you yourself said. Yeah, that's sure to work.

I destroyed your argument above because Christians didn’t do any thing you claim. Chinese, Indian, and Persian scientists outside of Christian influence, had more to do with western science than any belief in a fake, made up, god. Remember This is well established fact and you’re ignoring it to prop up your made up claim that somehow lil’ ol’ Jesus directed science from heaven but FAILED to mention anything about germ theory of disease when he advised that washing hands was a worthless activity.

But you go on believing in magic, and that cellular necrosis is a reversible process. Remember Ibn al-Haytham specifically championed the following method:

1. Explicit statement of a problem, tied to observation and to proof by experiment
2. Testing and/or criticism of a hypothesis using experimentation
3. Interpretation of data and formulation of a conclusion using mathematics
4. The publication of the findings

That is the very definition of the scientific method. Christianity is the exact opposite.

Remember, “without faith it is impossible to please God.“

If you "destroyed my argument" you wouldn't be typing so much cope right now because your first "reply" would have already done it. I LOVE that it never takes much to completely set off internet atheists.

LOL. I just respond when you do because I get a notification you silly doofus. It doesn't take much to set off the talking snake believers. You DO believe in that talking snake don't you? Those magic trees?

You're a child believing childish things because you've been taught them your whole life by other children and manipulators of children. Ask yourself why The Clergy Project is an actual thing -- because pastors know they're lying about the whole thing.

Try to convince me of the talking snake. Cope that.

Focus. I know it's hard. Focus. Focus on the talking snake. Focus now little pretend rabbi. FOCUS. Don't get off target. Focus. Convince me about the talking snake. And while you're at it, realize what a silly notion it is to believe in these Jewish fairy tales that even the Jewish people don't believe were real.

Now folks, THAT’S how you ignore the evidence and resort to an ad hominem attack. Typical.

I get it… Your argument was trash so you’re giving up. Probably a good idea.

Nah. I just can't change the mind of someone enjoying a sense of superiority in their ignorance.
0 ups, 2w
How you “feel” about my user name or what you personally perceive in your own brain about my personality traits has zero bearing on the fact that you cannot refute the argument. Yet another EPIC FAIL by the rabbi.

LOL.

Your little ad hominem attack means your argument was trash and you knew it. But since you can’t refute the argument, you personally attack the person who destroyed your argument.

Everyone but you sees it.

You're the one that said something about someone else's superiority. If that's what you felt, then that's on you.

He can't get it. Religion befuddles the mind.

“A ‘belief’ is not merely an idea the mind possesses, it is an idea that possesses the mind.” ~ Robert Oxton Bolton

Hebrews 11:6 says “without faith it is impossible to please God”, right? If that’s the case, why are you trying so hard to make a scientific case? Faith and science are diametrically opposed. You have faith because real scientific actual evidence is non-existent. Faith is the stuff you have because the “evidence is unseen” according to Hebrews 11:1. If that evidence is unseen, that means it exists only in your own mind and trying to "scientifically" prove god would mean that no faith was needed. Yet, “without faith it is impossible to please God” so which will it be? Faith? or science?

Bro...just look at your username and then get back to me about superiority complexes.😂

I really SHOULD change it ... perhaps to Rabid_Rabbi_Promotes_Zombie_Lies.
Those are lies that refuse to die despite how many times they're debunked.
How 'bout that one?

Despite who discovered it, those that allow it, may get a rude awakening!
