Post 107 please.Are you denying God's power? That's so unlike you, AV.
Seems like much has changed since last I frequented C/E... I would have expected you to say that God would gave heard them if they used two Dixie cups and a piece of string...
Post 107 please.
How is it that the common people knew the universe had a beginning long before "modern" scientists came along and discovered the universe had a beginning?
By the same token, how is it that the common people knew the universe was expanding long before "modern" scientists came along and discovered the universe is expanding?
Without that [book], they can claim they discovered it; rather than [embarrassingly] have to claim they are only really confirming it.
They didn't "suggest" anything. They wrote it as absolute truth worth dying for.And they did this feat by suggesting that something which didn't have a beginning created it all.
I am too.Opdrey said:But, yeah, I'm sure cosmology was perfectly nailed by the Bible.
Is there anything I can help you find?Well, definitely the Amalekites died for it. And a lot of the rest of the Caananites.
There have been thousands of origin myths & legends, some written down, some not. Whether the one in the scriptures you put your faith in is 'right' or not is a matter of how broad an interpretation you can make of it - it's no great achievement to get a 50/50 'beginning or no beginning' prediction roughly correct.If that was the case ... which it isn't though ... but if that was the case, how coincidental that the right one was written into Scripture, eh?
How did they manage to get it right the first time?
I wouldn't call this a "50/50 prediction roughly correct."There have been thousands of origin myths & legends, some written down, some not.

Saying "thus saith the LORD" is a capital offense.
As I said, it's a matter of how broad an interpretation you can make of it. If 'stretcheth forth the heavens' should be interpreted as making an expanding universe, then 'spreadeth abroad the earth' should be interpreted as making an expanding Earth. But, of course, neither of those is likely to be a correct interpretation, given that for the next 2,000+ years the accepted models of the universe and the Earth were resolutely static and unchanging.I wouldn't call this a "50/50 prediction roughly correct."
Isaiah 44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
Zechariah 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
You probably shouldn't have said it then...Saying "thus saith the LORD" is a capital offense.

Did "modern" scientists really discover it? or are they just confirming something that was already written in a [book] they don't want taught in school?

Where?Saying "thus saith the LORD" is a capital offense.
The LORD.According to whom?
Like when He broke Pangaea up into five continents in Peleg's time?If 'stretcheth forth the heavens' should be interpreted as making an expanding universe, then 'spreadeth abroad the earth' should be interpreted as making an expanding Earth.
The LORD.
You're mything the point.You are, once again, pretending that the bible writers were the only people with a creation myth.
Deuteronomy 18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.Where?
The more you post, the less you show you know.Well then, you've really gone and stepped in it now, haven't you?
Given that I never said a word about God's creation.You're mything the point.
And if my memory serves me correctly, you're committing a rules violation calling God's creation a "myth".
