Scientific ACCURACIES in the Bible
#95
RE: Scientific ACCURACIES in the Bible
I guess this thread is tricky in that there are potentially lots of scientific accuracies in there but it depends how you read it. If you go through and ignore aaaaaaaall of the erroneous bits (it's a long book!) and pick only the accurate bits, then yes it seems to be accurate, even if the bits you've chosen are very vague.

I think we can safely say that unless something absolutely staggering comes up, it's simply the law of averages that if you make enough (often vague or ambiguous) claims, every so often you'll get one right. The same is true of the Qur'an, as far as I know.

But who knows, maybe we will find something amazing in future o.O

I have yet to read the book cover to cover (I intend to read both the Bible and Qur'an through and maybe some other texts), so my understanding and input is based only on excerpts and a surrounding awareness, not the actual book itself Smile
