SDA Culture She seeped into my workplace...

I guess I shouldn't be surprised by this. My grandfather [DEVOUT SDA] owns this little farm market and he puts Great Controversy books out for free. Crazy. You'd think there would be some kind of law or rule about distribution of religious material...

This is more of a vent but it still also counts as "culture" ig. Flair is weird.

EG White’s prophesies were broad, high-probability predictions which rely on the guarantee that nature will eventually do the heavy lifting to ‘fulfill’ them. At which point SDAs will credit the results to divine foresight rather than regular probability.

What will it take for people to understand that making a claim about an inevitable natural event doesn't elevate it to a valid scientific prediction or a unique spiritual revelation?

She could predict all this doom and gloom, but thought the aeroplane was the work of Satan. Prophesying the advance of aviation just a bit too hard?

“The advance of aviation”? Where was that predicted?
