Is the Bible reliable as a book of science?
Good God no. Only children and the ill educated use it in a scientific manner. I would laugh out loud at the question but I know some people on this forum are still in the Dark Ages and actually think it has a scientific purpose.Ishmael Borg said:Is the Bible reliable as a book of science?
But there are many who say that it alone refutes the conclusions of millions of trained researchers working in numerous scientific fields.Christy4Christ said:How could it be used as a book of science? That is not at all what it contains at all.
Garbage!ugabaru said:It actually does contain some remarkable science. For example:
When we see groups of stars we call constellations, in most cases the stars are not very close together. Some are relatively close, some are VERY distant. They appear in the same area of the sky to our naked eyes just because we don't have much depth perception of things that are SO far away. There are a couple of exceptions. We now know of two constellations composed of stars that are gravitationally bound to each other.
How could the author of the book of Job, possibly the oldest book in the Bible, know what these two constellations are bound together? Yet there they are, singled out in Job 38:31.

Yes, it is as reliable as a yard stick. We can take all we find to the Bible to check it out and see if it is true or not. Anything that does not line up with the word of God will be proven wrong sooner or later. It is only a question of when.Ishmael Borg said:Is the Bible reliable as a book of science?
Anything that does not line up with the word of God will end up in the garbage, or more accurate, the lake of fire. Anything that is not of God, will be destroyed. But what God is a part of will go on forever.Chi_Cygni said:Garbage!
Just like the flat earth.JohnR7 said:Yes, it is as reliable as a yard stick. We can take all we find to the Bible to check it out and see if it is true or not. Anything that does not line up with the word of God will be proven wrong sooner or later. It is only a question of when.
This might explain the lack of substance in your posts, John.JohnR7 said:If there were no God, you would not even have a flat earth, there would be no earth at all. You would not exist and we would not be having this conversation.

If your not going to take the time and the trouble to figure out what I am saying, then I will do the same. I am not going to take the time and the trouble to try and figure out what you are trying to say here.Dracon427 said:Uhhhh... you're kidding right? So since the bible doesn't mention computers or cars, will they be proven wrong soon?
