Introduction Atheists would argue that science and faith are mutually exclusive, and many Believers have been persuaded to accept this view. History has shown a traditional antagonist relationship between the Church and science, starting in the Medieval Ages. The suppression of Copernicus’s work, which argued that the earth revolved around the sun, and the persecution … Continue reading “Science and the Seventh Seal”

Science and the Sixth Seal
There are many parts of Revelation whose meaning and implication remains unclear to me. However, with time comes understanding, as new facts and information helps enlighten us.

Just now I came across a Bloomberg opinion piece that again is arguing for the need of such a identification system —http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2014-03-12/the-only-way-to-stop-illegal-immigration. This ‘business news’ service is quite … Continue reading “Speaking of the devil”
