Religion convinced the world that there's an invisible man in the sky who watches everything you do. And there's 10 things he doesn't want you to do or else you'll go to to a burning place with a lake of fire until the end of eternity. But he loves you! ...And he needs money! He's all powerful, but he can't handle money! --George Carlin
This is for those of you who believe the Bible to be the inerrant literal Word of your god Yahweh. Genesis 11: 1-9 (KJV) tells us the story of men collectively building a tower "whose top may reach unto heaven".
The attempt to erect the Tower angered Yahweh so much so that he intervened, and in a testable manner as stated in Genesis 11: 5 "And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children built.". This was a response of affirmative action in which Yahweh is evident in his intervention. Yahweh was displeased at his "children" acting together in such a manner as it would mean that if they were self sufficient, then they would not need God, in fact they would become as gods themselves.
Using the literal, unchanging Word of God as our guide, we can therefore draw the following conclusions:
1) It is possible to build a tower that reaches unto heaven, otherwise Yahweh would not have intervened;
2) Yahweh does not want mortal men building towers that can reach heaven;
3) The situation remains the same today; Yahweh still does not want people to build towers that can reach heaven (God's word is unchanging if you recall);
4) Translation of languages is an implied sin as Yahweh separated tongues with the intent that they could no longer communicate. This would include translating the Bible from its original language as a sin.
Therefore, now we have a testable and falsifiable methodology for finding evidential support for the existence of Yahweh. We simply need to erect a tower "whose top may reach unto heaven". God will surely intervene as he did before, and prevent his children from achieving this aim. If no intervention occurs we can conclude one of the following:
1) The Word of God has changed, or;
2) Yahweh does not exist;
If Yahweh does show up then we can of course conclude that the Word of God is constant and unchanging, and of course that Yahweh is not only real, but is the one true God.
This is the ultimate experiment that creation scientists can perform to test their hypothesis. Once Yahweh pops in to smite us, you can write up your paper for peer review, and proudly (oops that's a sin) accept your Nobel Prize.
I therefore challenge any creationist to demonstrate scientifically (that's the "science" bit in your "creation science") that their biblical world-view holds water by performing the following testable, falsifiable experiment.
Creation science hypothesis:
1. Yahweh exists;
2. Yahweh is the one true God;
3. The Bible is the inerrant Word of Yahweh;
4. Yahweh will intervene if displeased (see Tower of Babel above).
Experiment:
1. Build a big fuck off tower to reach the heavens
Methodology:
1. Use bricks and shit and keep on going until Yahweh gets involved (this could take some time).
Conclusions:
1. This is the biggie - the conclusion occurs AFTER the experiment has been performed, not BEFORE.
I look forward to seeing your results published in a recognized scientific journal.
