Funny thing is, after all of the resistance to science from religion hundreds of years
ago, now it seems to be coming full circle in a way. Science is proving, much to
the chagrin of some scientists and the delight of others, that many religious texts
have a firm historical basis. For example Exodus. Various branches of science are
showing it to be a pretty accurate historical account - archeology is finding that
the Egyptians separately recorded the same events, from their own political
perspective, and finding Isrealite artifacts showing that the Isrealites were in Egypt
at the proper time, then suddenly left. Geology and recent history show exactly how
the plagues probably happened, with a very similar chain of events occurring recently.
In short, seismic activity released toxic gas into a river and lake system, turning it red
and causing all of the frogs to jump out. Volcanic ash from the eruption turns the sky
dark and fire falls from the sky. That's five of the plagues - the Nile turning red, the
frogs, darkness, and fire from the sky. The others are similarly related - first born
sons in Egypt slept on mats on the floor - making them particularly vulnerable to the
toxic gas which is heavier than air. I don't remember all of the details, but the events
in the 1980s match very closely to the Exodus plagues, and science has learned
that indeed Santorini was caused by a huge eruption off the Egyptian coast around
time of Exodus. So for so long religion tried to prevent science from proving them
wrong on certain points, then it turns out that science ends up proving much of what
can be proven or disproven from religion. Interesting stuff. It's good to see that SOME
religious leaders are also opening up far more to what science has to say, looking
at it more the way Einstein did - with science showing HOW "the God force" does
what it does.
