The author of this week's best post will win. If you see a post that you think is especially informative, clever, convincing, or otherwise good, nominate it here (post the name of the user who wrote it, the thread it was in with a link to the thread, and quote the post). If two people then second and third the nomination (when seconding, quote the nomination, when thirding, quote the seconder, so that this thread isn't too confusing), the post will be eligible to win. You may not nominate your own post or second or third nomination of your own post. Also, if I find out people are arranging to support each other's posts, all conspirators will be disqualified. You may only nominate a post made from the time of this post to six days from now, this will allow the moderators and I a day to decide on a winner from among the entries. The winning post will not depend on the view it is supporting (it can be a view I, NightSnake, and agentkgb all think it crazy, what matters is how well you support it or inform about it or whatever), length does not matter, all that is important is the quality of the post.
The winner will be PMed to ask for a URL and button, which will go up on the portal page within 24 hours of me receiving the response PM. Until then, there will be a placeholder button which links to your profile. Note that the button stays up for two months after the end of the contest, not two months after it goes up, so if it takes you three days to send me back a link that's your loss. The button and site the URl goes to must not conflict with Politiks Forum's terms/rules. Your username, chosen button, and chosen URL will also go in the Winners thread, which is stickied at the top of the Contests forum, for however long Politiks Forum survives.

No one else has nominated anyone, so I guess I will.

| Quote: | | But how can you know that? Science refutes many things the Bible says, and science is true |
Although the Bible is not a scientific text, whenever it speakes of scientific matters, it speaks truly and accurately.
Many modern discoveries were revealed by Scripture thousands of years ago. The Bible talks about the heavens, climate, and weather; the atoms that make up the universe; reveals truth about earth's structure, chemical and biochemical processes, the ocean, plants, and animals, the composition and characteristics of the human body, and diseases.
God stretches the northern sky over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing. (Job 26:7, NLT)
He draws up the water vapor and then distills it into rain. The rain pours down from the clouds, and everyone benefits from it. (Job 36:27-28, NLT)
It is the Lord who created the stars, the Pleiades and Orion. It is he who turns darkness into morning and day into night. It is he who draws up water from the oceans and pours it down as rain on the land. The Lord is his name! (Amos 5:8, NLT)
Look up to the skies above, and gaze down on the earth beneath. For the skies will disappear like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a piece of clothing. The people of the earth will die like flies, but my salvation lasts forever. My righteous rule will never end! (Isaiah 51:6, NLT)
for the life of any creature is in its blood. I have given you the blood so you can make atonement for your sins. It is the blood, representing life, that brings you atonement. (Leviticus 17:11, NLT)
By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen. (Hebrews 11:3, NLT)
"God is so great-higher than the heavens, higher than the farthest stars. (Job 22:12, NLT)
The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. (Ecclesiastes 1:6, KJV)
And the Lord God formed a man's body from the dust of the ground and breathed into it the breath of life. And the man became a living person. (Genesis 2:7, NLT)
For he understands how weak we are; he knows we are only dust. (Psalm 103:14, NLT).
These are just a few points that prove that the Bible is scientifically accurate. It proves that the Earth is a sphere suspended in space, the water cycle keeps the land watered, the universe is running down, blood sustains life, the universe is made of invisible things, the stars are incredibly distant from the earth and cannot be numbered, the winds form a circulating system, and man's body is composed of the same materials as the earth. |
