Whose facts are more out of whack Science OR the Bible?

[Castle]

But how could so many people be wrong?

more generally

(notice the amount of links)

I like this part

CharacteristicsMass hysteria typically begins when an individual becomes ill or hysterical during a period of stress

Sightings of religious miracles are often attributed to mass hysteria.

The Bible has some truth and facts, for most of the people of this world have been mainly religious for 5000 years.

That's a non sequitur. People believe lots of stupid shit. Doesn't make it "factual."

Indeed,argument ad populum, or 'argument by consensus" a basic logical fallacy beloved of theist apologists of all stripes.

There is not now nor has there ever been any kind of debate between the bible and science.


Science is evidence based and does not claim absolutes.

Religion is faith based, laying claim to many absolutes in the form of immutable dogma. The Torah is the mythology of an insignificant tribe of bronze age goat herders.The new Testament is unoriginal mythology of a man who may or may not have existed.

Looking to the bible for accurate scientific knowledge is like turning to say Ken Ham or Fred Phelps to explain quantum physics and molecular biology.

i would not go as far as Fred Phelps, one of the most hated man in America
