otherwise show me a science book as old as the bible that is current today.
Euclid's elements. OK, it's a math book.
It's mathematics, and so not the same critter as science, except for being the sole vehicle by which science has a way to express itself. However, your (Drich's) umbrella religions (all you believer's management) kept that for themselves except for the part where they observed the heavens to intimidate the illiterate peasants by predicting solar eclipses as a threat against whatever behavior they wanted to control (for example). Those captive mathematicians served the churches. I truly hope that if there is a god, that he punishes those people and you lot that do what you do.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
