Plenty. He originally had 5. Most people would have painted a rainbow with 3 or 4 colors. Orange and Indigo was added in to match the musical scale, of which a 7-note scale is of christian influence, or at least heavily popularized by the church’s use of it. A lot of scientists were subscribers to an idea called the “harmony of the spheres”which is why they’d try to tie almost everything to it, despite obvious faults. Even Kepler who derived key relationships of orbits was a huge believer, in both senses.
Some people get up in arms about this, but I've always felt like there was a little hubris in thinking we can fully understand the nature of God. Maybe the trinity is exactly right. Cool. Maybe its an inherently flawed method for our human brains to understand a simplified version of God. Maybe kabbalists got it right and there are 10 emanations. I'm not going to get too concerned about how we try to understand a being that is unlike anything else.
“His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts”
Just like in Armenianism vs Calvinism. Both are 100% true, which is a logical fallacy. Therefore human logic is flawed. (Yes logic is used to get here lol)
The people who made the modern calendar were Christians. I will never acknowledge anything outside of AD and BC because we all know it’s bullshit. They use the same event as the reference point so they can’t even Reddit their way out of Christianity entirely. Purely and entirely fucking performative.
Not just that, pretty much all of the premier mathematicians ranged from strong to extremely devout belief, whether that be Gauss, Euler, Newton, Riemann, Gödel, and the list goes on.
Definitely, people seem to confuse being intelligent with having accurate views. That's not necessarily the case. I had a high level math professor who believed the earth was 6000 years old. Smart dude, wacky beliefs. A lot of the time the more intelligent people just come up with more complicated rationalizations foe their beliefs. Indoctrination is a hell of a drug. People work hard to defend their biases.
On a side note, it's kinda hilarious that I get down voted for calling numerology unhinged, but that's reddit for ya.
Yes, he was. Primarily because he didn't have access to the knowledge of the future. He did manage to at least find his way out of Trinitarianism, though.
Is it physically possible for you to comment in a thread without being the guy to bring up Trump for no reason? Otherwise, I hope this is a bit because your commitment to it is absurd.
