[QUOTE="Freodin, post: 260002, member: 1363"] To make clear my position: I don´t think that science can be used to disprove the Bible - and I don´t try to. I don´t even think science can disprove your literal interpretation of the Bible - it can only make it very unlikely. But science does not confirm your literal interpretation! Yes, but you are "questioning" things that nobody here claimed. That is not a good way to discuss things. We don´t attack you nor the Bible. We attack your position that science confirms a litteral interpretation of Genesis. Yes, some facts do go conform with science - the water and plant thing, for example. But there are other facts that contradict science, facts that you chose to ignore with questions of "where is the evidence?". Well, believe me, the evidence is there. It would take a few pages of text to explain the scientific theories and give you the necessary physical background. If you want to know, I will try to provide it, but it would be easier for you simple to pick up a few books about astronomy in the nearers public library. I don´t expect you to know everything. But I expect you to have enough knowlegde to discuss your point. You cannot make claims about science when you don´t know anything about science. And no-one denied that claim. But if you make global claims, it is not enough to prove single points. "From the blue sky, the chariot of Thor swept down upon the host of evil." Well, the sky IS blue, that is a true fact - so that has to mean that Thor exists? I don´t think that you would agree with me on that, would you? So the fact that water is mentioned in Genesis before plants does not say anything about the sun being created after the earth. This is a different claim and has to be proved seperately. I don´t know which event "how electricity was discovered" you mean. I don´t know which theory you would use to explain the "first light" via electricity. And I really don´t know what that had to do with the gravity and accleration problems I mentioned. What? No, but the sun contains mass, and one certain effect of mass is a force of attraction between two masses - called gravity. Beat me, I don´t know at the moment. I would have to look it up. But, really, it didn´t involve scales. There is, believe me. It is a bit more complicated than "God did it". [/QUOTE]
