The Bible a book of science?

Is the Bible a book of science?

Some say it is.

Others accept that Bible was never meant to be seen as a science book, but more a history and theology book.

The Bible tries to explain things that we could not explain, but it doesn't use science, or archaeology, to explain these things.

The Bible should be seen for what it is, and for what it is NOT.

 

Of course it's a book of Science, amongst other great knowledge to be had.

It explains the Earth and the entire Solar system...

Mankind would've never invented the wheel or went to the Moon if he didn't understand the Science from the Bible....

All your Greek philosophers got their teeth cut on the Science of the Bible. some tried to thwart it with their own manmade ignorance, but it never washed out. ..

the list goes on....so yes, the Bible is indeed a Science book.

 

The Bible says the Universe was created in 7 says.

Science, however, shows this to be false.

The Universe is billions of years old.

The Bible says that woman was created from the rib of a man.

We all know this to be silly hogwash.

 

Prove your claims right now. all 3 of them.

 

The Bible tells us how to make a wheel and get to the moon?

 

The wheel predates the bible by more than twice its age.

 

Those idiots also believed the world was flat. It took Richard Dawkins-types, you know, scientist-types, to finally explain that the Bible was dead wrong. Thank god for science. Wait....

Prove that your "god" even exists....should be super-easy if he's the most powerful entity of all time.

 

The Mormon texts, tempting you to give your loyalty to it's founder J. Smith by saying that you might get your own PLANET when you die, would have to be considered at least as insane as these are, correct?

 

How is that when everybody was walking around and on horseback?

Nephilim must've taught them then. They are the falling sons of God and they did have a lot of knowledge.

 

The "fallen sons of God".

this is more proof that the Bible is a book of fantasy, NOT reality.

Mormon texts, Bible texts, they are all insane.

I worry about those who follow such texts.

 

The Bible is so out of touch with science that it insanely teaches that bats are BIRDS. Ha! Not a good book to give to one's impressionable young children, that's for sure. Jesus is looking down upon you right now and not willing to lift a FINGER to tell you what is actually right and wrong about the book that's about him. He could care less about you all. Or maybe he's only as real as Thor and Loki.
Lev. 11:13, 19:
"These are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls ... the bat."


Now a Dawkins/Harris book, now THAT'S scientifically more correct, because modern Secular Humanists hold themselves to higher standards than Christians do, who of course refuse to update/modernize the #1 book they give their very own children. That's a form of child abuse.

 

you are in no position to demand anything, from anyone.

considering you answer requests to prove YOUR claims, with childish personal attacks.

the Bible says that bats...are birds??

lol!!!! what a stupid book.

 

Excellent post.

4H, nope Ronstar's not a Mormon.

 

for a copper age people, yes...but we're not there anymore. someday people will look back and laugh at us for using metals to transport energy to our homes.

 

Because the first wheel would obviously predate the first carriages, rickshaws, etc. It was a good 5000 years from wheel to car, after all.

 

things get lost in translation. when you translate something 4-5 times, a lot gets lost.

 

if we today lived by the "science" of the Bible, life would be pretty damn hard.

....and our children would be ignorant.

 

That's just the BEGINNING of how insane the bible is. Christians today actually give their kids a book (again, the evil Bible) that says that, get this, insects have FOUR legs. I'm not joking. If a Christian cared about their children, then they'd find a belief system that doesn't teach falsehoods.

----------------------------

The Bible and the Quran agree: Insects have four legs
Here's what the Bible says:
Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind. But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. Leviticus 11:22-23

And here's the Quran:
Allah hath created every animal of water. Of them is (a kind) that goeth upon its belly and (a kind) that goeth upon two legs and (a kind) that goeth upon four. Quran 24:45

It's true that neither holy book comes right out and says that all insects have four legs.

But the Bible says that locusts, beetles, and grasshoppers (which are the ones you are allowed to eat) have four legs, while "all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you." So that would seem to include insects in God's "four legged, flying, creeping things" taxon.

The Quran is a bit less clear, but it too seems to imply that insects have either zero, two or (more likely) four legs.

clearly, the Bible is a book of science.

science FICTION.

 

Yep, like the "resurrection" of Jesus....didn't really happen, just got beefed up over many many translations/oral re-tellings. Also, studies show that prayer doesn't work, so Jesus was a liar....more evidence that the bible is false, and that Christians are starting to look more and more like fools (sorry, but it's true.)

Thank god for science (well, you know what I mean....)

Nice!!! You win best post of the week award.

 

Hmmmm, I've always pictured the very first guy making the ancient rickshaw as making a rickshaw (but with no wheels on it) going "THERE! I did it! Now all I need is something that I can move it with and this thing'll make me MONEY!"

 

Jesus was an idiot, and not divine since he allegedly said that the mustard seed is the smallest seed. (The smallest seeds are found among the tropical, epiphytic orchids.)
Mark 4:31:
"Mustard seed, which ... is less than all the seeds that be in the earth."
See http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/mk/4.html

Come on folks, Jesus had some good philosophy to spread, but was certainly not the "son of god", or "god", and clearly not divine, and won't answer your prayers (at least no more than Zeus will.) Don't be a fool.

 

Jesus was a theologian, not a scientist.

it ain't his fault.

 

Being all-knowing etc. (and talking to his dad and all) I would expect more from him. His dad knew this would happen but said/did nothing. Lousy father Jesus had.

 

You know, if Jesus/Qur'an/Bible were actually true then it wouldn't be so DAMN EASY to show how incredibly foolish they all were! Think about that! It's child's play showing that they were idiots as this thread clearly shows. If they were indeed real/divine then we'd struggle and struggle to find even one thing wrong with them, and it would be so fruitless that we'd give up and JOIN Jesus. Seriously.
