Once again, if you want to claim the world is covered in a thick shell of Jell-o from now on --- do it. Otherwise, please don't try and use that as a refutation for Scripture. Okay?
Don't threaten to do it --- do it --- then we'll talk.
That's another subject altogether.
Why should I believe you?
Why should I believe you?
Because the Bible says so!
Why should I believe the Bible?
Because God says the Bible is right!

I'd imagine that'd be the conversation you'd get out of trying to get him to answer why you should believe him.
This is completely false. By 1965 it was known that the moondust was not several feet deep and of course the surveyor probe in 1966 confirmed this well before the moon landing.The Bible walks its talk.
Unlike science, which simply moves the goalpoast whenever it shows itself to be wrong.
Take the moon landing, for instance - (since this is classic scientific PR).
When Armstrong walked on the moon, it was believed that the moon contained several feet of moondust.
When it only contained an inch or two, scientists, instead of admitting they made a mistake, simply said they "discovered new evidence".
The "they in this case was Petterson who made earth based measurements that he knew might be too high. Space based measurements show that he was wrong but at the time he made the earth based measurements space based measurements were not possible.That's how science works: they "discover new evidence", instead of admit they were wrong.
If science didn't work you wouldn't be able to use a computer to send your antiscience nonsense over the internet.I used to have a list of all the techno-jargon scientists used to cover their mistakes. I wish I still had it - it was hilarious [sad, actually].

God is the Author of science --- despite what peer reviews say.

It promises you eternal life, something science can't do.

and the way the universe works - the actual data and facts - conflicts with a literal reading of Genesis.
You've never thought your own interpretation of the Bible might be wrong.
and that is the power of science.
If you're saying that is a bad thing, then you are basically claiming that it is a bad thing if someone, having seen only white sheep for his entire life states that "there are only white sheep", corrects his previously held opinion on the sighting of a black sheep.
Yes a number of scientific statements have been wrong, and in fact much of science still is wrong now, but it's far less wrong than it used to be. read the Relativity of Wrong.
Ya --- no kidding! The power of illusion.
How about we just stick to the example I gave?
Far less wrong? I doubt it.
you know how science works, you have been told often enough.
Things are thought to be true until they are proven not to be true,
nothing devious or underhand about that.
If some scientists thought there might be a foot of dust on the moon, and there was only an inch,
it was pretty obvious to everyone that they were wrong, they had put themselves up to be
shot down in the first place by suggesting it, it was not written in stone, it was an opinion...
...that's what people have, they were scientists, (not Creationists) they throw ideas into the pot...
And you call that telling lies, remember, no one person decides what is true,
by the time an idea is accepted as fact every scientist in the world, I will repeat that,
every scientist in the world will have picked the idea to pieces, if for no other reason
than to make a name for themselves, so not a lot will get passed them, some scientists
think about problems for years, only to come up with an idea, and then get shot down.
it was thought there might be a lot of dust because we had hardly even ventured into space in the 1960s.
hmm.. given that you didn't read the link and the poor quality of your statements, I doubt you are really interested in learning, are you?
