: Why is it important to disprove science? The Gensis STORY is an allegory like revelation, it isnt an explaination of the origin of the species and everyone from Darwin to Stephen Hawkings who have said that it didnt happen by chance (a lot of creationists think everyone else thinks things just happened by chance)and have provided mechanisims for chance such as evolutionary theory havent insisted there is no God.
: Science explains how or what not why.
On what basis do you claim Revelation to be an allegory? I believe it is a literal prophecy of future events yet to occur in the near future. If I'm right, you lose everything for eternity. If you're right, I lose nothing.
