If this has been posted, my apology. I was debating with a theist on religion and he told me "the more science finds out, the more it proves the bible is true!". Of course I shit a brick, because as you are aware science has been in utter conflict with the bible since Copernicus disproved the theory of heliocentrism. I asked if he was joking.
He then directed me to this site:

I'm at a complete loss for words. It's like selective quoting at its best. Some of the examples are beyond obvious too, such as "The Bible describes the Earth’s crust correctly with science!". Gee, I'd hope they at least got that right. But then it quotes some generic biblical phrase and tries to tie it to science in a rather comical way.
edit: Oh jeez

No wonder many Christians (but not all or necessarily even most) don't understand the scientific process. They're given junk psuedoscience like this that has no credibility, and no peer review. To call this stuff science is a farce and a slap in the face to the scientific method.

Quote:Since humans are in the Bible, we unconsciously think that dinosaurs were extinct—and therefore not mentioned in the Bible. As you have just seen, the Bible not only refers to dinosaurs, but has detailed information about two of them.
Unfortunately, our public school system and the media have convinced us that dinosaurs were extinct at least 60 million years before man appeared on earth. They have done such a good job in this area that we can not imagine people and dinosaurs living at the same time. The fact is that dinosaurs were created no more than one day before mankind, not many millions of years earlier—and we have evidence to support that statement. Click here to see our Creation and Evolution page, and a link to many sites that fully prove this.
