Then how do you know it's wisdom from foolishness?
Then scripture offers evidence. Explain this evidence. Why don't we see more believers follow it? What's gone wrong with Christianity and the Bible?

Purify your thoughts, words and deeds by proper food and intake of other senses is a good step leading to good health and sharp discrimination to make the right choices

I did not say nor imply that Scripture offers evidence
Bible does declare "the Path is narrow"
Nothing has gone wrong with the Bible, or any book for that matter. It's about what people use it for. Some use it as guidance to Spiritual gain, Wisdom, while others use it for Worldly gain

“Natural Theology” is only a couple of steps better than “Revealed Theology”, but because of the deity or deities are still required, therefore both are rooted on superstitions.
It is “better” in the sense there are some logics in Natural Theology in it speculation...
...where as there are no logics to the dogma of the Revealed Theology, like in the creation myths of Genesis or the Quran.
The problems with Revealed Theology like Christian Bible and Islam Quran, are the needs to defy logic and nature with miracles of god to create, and the needs to tell stories.
The “story” parts with God, angel visitations, talking animals, and miracles involving Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, are what make Revealed Theology - “fiction”.
Nature don’t require a story to be told. Nature don’t need god, angel, fairy, etc involve in the natural processes.

I didnt ask which one is better.
That's not what I asked. You said I lacked understanding of the start of the Universe. (not a start of the Universe as we know it) Are you saying the Universe (all that exists) had a start?

You asked a poorly formed question. It cannot be answered as asked. What makes you think that the universe is all that exists?
Sounds kinda like you're making the same point I made back on post #165

How do words work? If I define Kfox to mean dead person, does it mean that you are dead? You are doing magical thinking. You apparently think that a word causes something to be as the word defines it. Good, we can test that. Kfox means dead, You are dead now!

Where? I don't think that you fully understood that definition.
Poor analogy. If Kfox means dead, I would be dead if I were a Kfox. To suggest because my name is Kfox I must be dead is as ridicules as suggesting anybody with the last name of "Green" is actually the color green.How do words work?

It says Universe is all of space, time, and their contents. If I am not understanding something, perhaps you can explain.

You have to learn that words in general don't cause anything. So if I say that the universe means everything that exists, those word here on the screen doesn't make it so that the universe is everything that exists.
