I'm well out of the loop, but is she still very much remembered as a twerker? As far as pop culture goes, this feels kinda dated.

That one confused me at first. I was thinking of the character's name, and wondering how I could get an M out of Stanley Kowalski. Then I thought maybe it was the name of the playwright, but no M in Tennessee Williams, either. Finally it came to me it was referring to the actor from the film. Sometimes I can be so dense.

WTF is "Christian Science"? Surely that's a contradiction in terms. Is it some Creationist, answers in the bible, gubbins?

From the wikipedia page: "In particular, [Christian Science] adherents subscribe to a radical form of philosophical idealism, believing that reality is purely spiritual and the material world an illusion."

The core way in which I understand that tenet to apply is the belief that prayer and faith are more effective than medicine and that medicine makes prayer less effective. It's basically a religious placebo effect, wherein if you believe it works, it works (sometimes).

While not written to be a science textbook, the Bible reflects scientifically accurate information that was not available to humans at the time it was written.

BTW, Creation is in the Bible. Creationism is not. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that the Earth is only 6,000 years old. "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." No time frame given there. The first creative day could've begun eleventy-jillion years after the creation of the earth. And each creative "day" could've lasted for thousands of thousands of years. The Bible does not say nor imply that each one was a mere 24 hours.

The 24 hour is a modern invention in any event. Who knows how long a day was even in ancient greece, rome, troy, etc.

You can count back the line of succession from Jesus to Adam and have a rough estimate of what the Bible says is the age of earth. It is way of it's actual age.

Also - what "scientifically accurate information" are there supposed in the Bible, that weren't known to humans at that time?

Trying to say the Bible doesn't say a day is a day explicitly is one thing... but now you're saying it doesn't even imply it? How can you avoid implying that the words you say mean what they mean? That's an interesting trick.

Also, it's 100% false that there is any scientific knowledge in the Bible not available to people at the time. There are quite a few things written in the Bible, however, that are scientifically inaccurate.

Maybe we don't know how a day was divided in ancient times, but it's quite clear that a day meant the same as now.

@divantalya omg what? Ow yea I forgot in ancient times the earth spun super super fast that a day only lasted two hours. In fact the people had a hard time hanging on..

The length of a day is not invented, it is one earth rotation or in simpler terms, from sunrise to sunrise, one full cycle.

it is irelevant in how many parts they divided a day or what they called the parts.

next thing you know someone is gonna say there was no night in ancient times... that it is a recent invention to make it go dark at night...

"Christian Science" has nothing to do with science. It is also not considered mainstream Christianity and has nothing to do with Creationism or other Evangelical pseudoscience that attempt to fool people into thinking that the Bible is scientifically accurate (it's not, but that's a different story). When I was still a believing Christian myself I was told that Christian Science was a dangerous cult.

Christian Science is it's own religious tradition, somewhat inspired by mainstream Christianity, with its own latter-day self-styled prophet making it very similar to Mormonism, the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Moonies, Islam, and the Branch Davidians. It also bears similarities to many new-age religious movements in its ideas about metaphysics.

They really ought to come up with a better name for it. Eddyism, maybe. Because "Christian Science" is, as you can see, confusing to a lot of people.

I've seen buildings with signs that say, "Christian Science reading room". I always assumed they had literature about their group. Several famous people were raised in Christian Scientist homes, including Marilyn Monroe and Ellen Degeneres. I'm not sure of all their beliefs but I know they don't believe in vaccinations and one of their biggest tenets is healing through prayer.
