Scientific ACCURACIES in the Bible

We could interpret what we read as being in accordance with what we might observe about any given thing but this does not mean that the passage actually says what we have interpreted it to say, nor does it imply that the authors would have had any inkling of how they might be interpreted thousands of years into the future or why the authors of the passage believed what they did to begin with. Now, suppose we were to find a passage which could not be dismissed (which we haven't yet, step up believers). What then? Well, ff you proposed (10 days ago) that today I would choose the number 1 out of the numbers 1 and 2, would that speak to your accuracy with regards to predictive abilities or might something else be involved?

A favorable interpretation does not equal "scientifically accurate"

A good guess does not equal "scientifically accurate"

When you invoke science you invoke all of the baggage that comes along with it (for better or for worse, as it were, depending on which side of any given claim you might stand on).

So ask yourself where does the passage in question "invoke science?" Or is that something someone else has done by taking a literal english interpertation of one verse while ignoring the rest of the passage? Science was invoked and the contextual meaning of the passage was changed to fit an arguement. That is the defination of a straw man.
