Does science prove or disprove the bible

RE: Does the science proves or disproves the bible
(October 19, 2011 at 2:11 am)Justtristo Wrote: One morning recently I was listening to the local Gospel radio station and the presenter discussed how he believed how science proves the claims made in the bible. The presenter went on quote from a couple of verses of the bible.
Quote:He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
Isaiah 40:22

The presenter used this verse and talked about how the ancient Hebrews hundreds years before Aristotle knew the Earth was a sphere. Then he went further to criticize scientists from being philosophers and theologians.

However I would take the view that literally all branches of science has debunked many claims which are made by the bible about the nature of the universe, history and etc. However I will throw the ball in your court and argue why you think science proves or disproves the bible.

Even in the days of the ancient Egyptians and early Hebrews, you could sail onto the Mediterranean Sea and notice that in all directions, the horizon inscribed a circle. It was also noted in early Egypt that sailing ships 'disappeared' over the horizon, indicating that the Earth was not flat. But even that doesn't explain the grasshopper motiff (unless they were suggesting that David Carridine was alive 3,000 years ago). Thinking
'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "
