What the Bible says ... about lobster

A true Christian believes that God is infallible, which means that if you believe one part of the Bible, you must believe the whole thing, not just bits and pieces. There are many things that your Bible would have outlawed.

(Or maybe that stuff is missing context, it's a doctor telling someone not to eat stuff their allergic to? Maybe...)
 
I'm personally agnostic, A higher power would not and could not be what is described in Abrahamic religions. Reading the thread recently (which I used to post in here years ago), I see majority posts discrediting the Abrahamic religions and the correlating God. I'm curious what makes you (whoever wants to respond) feel sure that there is not a higher power(s) or energy/energies with intent. Physics shows us that energy cannot be created or destroyed, so I am wondering what your theory/belief is around where the energy that runs through us comes from and what happens after death..

Most of my theory/belief is "I don't know" and "I don't need to force an answer to it".

Physics, which I sometimes follow as entertainment (in the past I dropped out from physics studies before I got different career and diplomas), still can't really explain how all the matter/energy in our universe came into being. There are hypothesis like they could be some "disturbance" in some field, but then why does that background field even exist in the first place? What is the context the universe exists in, if any? There are hypothesis that for matter for form, an equal quantity of anti-matter must form, but then, where is all the anti-matter?
I already wrote about it in this forum (maybe during on of the "cross-over moments" in the Christian thread?) but I don't think that science can be opposed to believe in "God(s)". As beliefs can always be used to "answer" whatever science doesn't answer to (yet). And for science, "god(s)-or-whatever" would just be a weak hypothesis that has never been able to proven, and maybe never will. So religious beliefs are mostly unsignificant fantasy to science. And at the same time, as no can know everything, every one must use some beliefs (not necessarily religious) of some sort, or doubt. As long a beliefs don't go against what is proven, science and beliefs may coexist in an unrelated way.

Was Jesus Really Wrapped in the Shroud of Turin? 3D Study Says Probably Not
In a simulation, a bas-relief pressed into digital fabric produced an imprint that resembled the Shroud of Turin more closely than the imprint of a fully 3D human body.

This conclusion supports the theory that the Shroud was not wrapped around a real human (or divine) body. Instead, it may have been an artistic representation, he suggested, potentially related to funerary practices.

How do the creation story and these new discoveries of ancestors of modern humans fit together? One of them must be a fake...
“This new research shows that the image many of us have in our minds of an ape to a Neanderthal to a modern human is not correct—evolution doesn’t work like that,” Kaye Reed, a paleoecologist at Arizona State University, said in a statement. “Here we have two hominin species that are together. And human evolution is not linear, it’s a bushy tree, there are lifeforms that go extinct.”
