Science PROVES the BIBLE is True

[Gene2memE]

What I've got from this thread so far (apart from some chuckles and eye rolls):

Science PROVES the BIBLE is TRUE*

*but only if you ignore all the evidence to the contrary, including almost all the fundamental of science and anything in the bible that you don't understand, agree with or can't hand wave away with an argument of two sentences or less.

Does this about sum it up?

What evidence do you ignore and handwave away, when you hear Christian songs & hymns, greetings & sermons?

What about Christian edifices, holidays, iconography, and literature?

What about BC/AD?

Right. And Santa Claus, and Easter bunnies, Muhammeds and Batman and ...

Nothing is being "ignored"...just treated appropriately. Empirical evidence can only prove things of the material world. Is that all you seek - material evidence, for material matters?

That is not what the Bible is.

Word salad is what it is.

Like your quote from Al! LOL

No, like your answer.

Love is the evidence of God! Do you love someone, does someone love you?

No. Love is evidence of aliens.

Which skull is a human and which one is a chimp?

Only the last one: N is modern man.

Would that not cause a great earthquake?

Yes there will be an earthquake at the Mount of Olives when Jesus returns. They say before the Tribulation He returns for His church and He will meet us in the air. After the tribulation He returns with his church and His feet shall touch the ground. He will snatch his church out of harms way right before the great tribulation begins. This will be a time of great sorrow for the world and only a remnant will survive to repopulate the earth for the next 1,000 years.

No. Love is evidence of aliens.

My wife is an alien but I am not sure what you think that is evidence of.

Or reinterpret the Bible after the fact. No, no..... the Bible does not claim that the Earth is flat at all. It only has descriptions of events that would only happen on a flat Earth, verses describe the Earth as flat and never as a sphere, but it does not say that the Earth is flat. And no no ... the Bible does not say that the Earth does not move, even though Galileo was almost killed for saying that the Earth moved during his lifetime by the Catholics and from what I hear the Protestants of that time were not any better.

The plain and simple fact is that the Bible is reinterpreted by every new culture so that it applies to their own personal prejudices in a positive way.

That is so true, for I believe in the Living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe(1 Timothy 4:10). So even in their unbelief, God saved them! For God has concluded them in unbelief, so that He may have mercy upon all(Romans 11:32). Have a blessed day!

Thank you for at least recognising that we all belong of the ape family, it's a step in the right direction if nothing else.
Now if you could just do something about that mythical thing you would be well on the way to a full recovery.

1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Mumbo jumbo.

It would disprove my theory about the Bible. This would disprove my interpretation. If I can disprove evolution it just means you have to rewrite the theory. That is why Darwinism is no longer valid and we now have neoDarwinism and PostNeoDarwinism. They just keep rewriting the theory trying to get it right. Before DNA we only had the fossil record. Now that we have DNA that has caused radical changes in the theory.

Wrong.
Before the discovery of DNA we had the fossil record, but also the geographical distribution of species and the embryological development of organisms.
Besides that we had a thousand years of experience by farmers and breeders who improved their cattle and breeds.

The discovery of genetics did NOT cause a radical change in the ToE. The fundamentals as written down by Darwin (and Wallace, the ever forgotten Wallace) are still accepted.

If you are talking about your fantasy world then we all have our own and no two are the same, people try to link their fantasies with other people's in the hope they will somehow become reality, fantasy land is a much better place to live than reality land because you don't get hurt so often and death is not a real thing.

It bugs you they can't get It right, does it?

 

[HitchSlap]

Shouldn't it bug any rational human being?

 

[AV1611VET]

Shouldn't it bug any rational human being?

Any "rational human being" would realize we won't "get It [completely] right" until after Jesus comes back.

Until then, "reinterpretations" will occur.

There is one passage I love to use though, that shows that "reinterpretations" really don't mean a thing to unbelievers.

Genesis 1:1a In the beginning God ...

Virtually 100% of believers believe this, yet others prefer to remain in their states of unbelief, whilst railing against multiple interpretations of other passages.

Don't complain about differences, if you're not going to respect the similarities.

Yeah, that's quite a fantasy you got yourself caught up in there.
