Absolutely. Rather than believe in creationism we are supposed to believe that everything came from some supposed Big Bang which started as the size of a pin prick.
Embarrassing that people like yourself lap it up with absolutely no evidence
I never said owt about the Big Bang. But on that, science is constantly looking into different hypotheses and searching for evidence to prove or disprove them. So far the Big Bang is the one with most proof. But science never stops looking into different avenues. And a scientific theory is not a “theory” in the traditional meaning of the word. You have to have proven evidence for something to be allowed to be called a scientific theory.
What science doesn’t do is just go off some millennia out of date Bronze Age scaremongering tripe and saying “well it must be some god who created it all”. With absolutely no evidence other than some made up stories of made up people from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age who’ve either been visited by angels (
) or been spoken to by some god in a burning bush or from behind a cloud in the sky (
)
As for the hymn - it talks about Jesus. There’s not once single shred of reliable nor contemporary evidence that Jesus ever existed. Not one! In a region that was the most literate area of the world at the time, in an area of the world that had censuses as well as writers and historians - this Jesus character was never recorded in one census nor written about by people alive at that time. There are countless contemporary named written sources of named individuals and their historical life stories from Scotland to Egypt at that time by Romans and many other populations. But not one of a supposed fella who healed the sick, turned water to wine, was crucified and rose from the dead. Not a single one!
And the Jesus story in its exact form goes back a lot further and in many different places than when and where he was supposed to have lived. From Horus to Krishna to Zoroaster to Dionysus to Mithra even to Jospeh (the technicolour dream coat bloke from the Old Testament)... all have the same story as Jesus. The Jesus story was plagiarised from all of them as was the last of about 25 different ones from around the world. And what all of these made up legends are, is the personification of the Sun. They are all the story of the big yellow hot dot in the sky. Simply personified myths about the Sun.
We went through enlightenment in Great Britain over 300 years ago. Abrahamic religions are total archaic nonsense. And hymns like this should be left behind where they belong and not sung at modern sporting events.
HOW MANY TIMES?????
