What is Science?

Most scientists would say that "science is a way of knowing".

Scientists would say that science is the process of trying to prove yourself wrong.

That is what I do, I try to use science to prove the Bible wrong. So far I have not found anything in all of science to prove the Bible wrong. Just the opposite, again and again science has verified what the Bible says is true.

If the Bible says that plants came about before the Sun appeared, would that prove the Bible wrong since science has the Sun appearing before plants?

That just does not make any sense at all. You think Moses is so stupid that he would have plants with no sun? I can assure you he is smarter then that. We know a lot about Moses. There is a lot of details about him in the Bible. We know about his mom, his brother, his sister, his father in law, his wife. There are a lot to the story about him. Once he got in a fight with his wife and sent her home to her father. The father then visited Moses and got it all straightened out and talked Moses into taking his wife back again. We know these people and we know the story of their lives.

Genesis has plants being created on day 3 and the Sun on day 4.

Science is the observation and manipulation of God's creation.

Genesis has plants being created on day 3 and the Sun on day 4.

Must be a miracle!

Not that it would matter to some, though.

John 12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

Why are you going on about Moses? that wasn't the question. You can't have got very far in your 'studies', it's page one. Also, how does science reconcile that talking snake with reality?

For the record I'm not mocking the Bible here, I think the English translation of Genesis is an amazing piece of literature.

Most scientists would say that "science is a way of knowing".

Most scientists would not say that as their first response. Calling it a 'way of knowing' has been a label that postmodern critics of science have used to suggest that science is merely one way of knowing, and (at the far end of the relativist postmodernist scale) other ways of knowing can be just as true (even if they say different things).

 

[AV1611VET]

It can't.

Science is too myopic.

Then why did you call it a 'snake'?

 

[Jimmy D]

Then why did you call it a 'snake'?

Isn't it a snake?

 

[AV1611VET]

Isn't it a snake?

Our amazing piece of literature calls it a 'serpent'.

It was a beast of the field that lost its legs.

Probably a dragon, IMO.

John 12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

That's sort of my point. When the Bible is contradicted by the scientific evidence a miracle is invoked to make the evidence go away. This is why the claims of science supporting the Bible are hollow.

Which came first, in your opinion?

The miracle or its evidence?

If I claim Humpty Dumpty fell off a wall, which came first?

The wall or the fall?

You are blabbering. Please try to make some sense.

Made a point, did I?

You blabbered. The only point you made is that you can't use coherent sentences.

1 Chronicles 26:18 At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar.

Science is method. How to learn about the universe.
