Star Trek refers to events that have happened or to places that already exist. By contrast, the bible refers to things ahead of its time, before they happened. The approach is poles apart., the different is huge, beyond comparison.
For example: Paris has been here for centuries. In "future," ST “made” its headquarters in San Francisco, which is already here. In 1976, NASA honors ST by naming the spacecraft “Enterprise” – I remember reading about this in mid 90s when TNG was popular in North America , when I was in Canada. However, ST did not predict Enterprise, so why do you even mentioned that ST even reference itself.
The Bible refers to things ahead of its time, way way before they happened, hundreds and thousands of years ahead. It says the earth is round and suspends upon nothing way before science did. I hear critics who say that say the Bible is being figurative. However, figurative or literal, it has made many correct predictions – and this frequency of correctness DOES MATTER.
What do you want to read before you would say the Bible is specific? It says God sits above circle of earth, clearly implying it is round – but critics try to find technical loophole to say it may mean flat. 2000 years ago, Revelations predict that tanks and helicopters in modern warfare. Apostle John did not have the language to describe armor tanks, so he said “head that like lion that threw fire and sulphur”. He did not have the word helicopter, so he said look like locust that made loud noises. It makes sense to think in his shoes, he was trying to use limited vocabulary to describe modern technologies. Surely we don’t expect him to say “armor tanks” and “helicopters.” Or will critics 'invent' another loophole, that John did not mention “metal birds that zoom fast” -- the fighter jets – to imply the Bible did not say EVERYTHING -- so it is not complete enough?
