Scientific ACCURACIES in the Bible
#96
RE: Scientific ACCURACIES in the Bible
I think there's an important distinction we need to make between scientific references in the bible (or the kerrang or whatever) that were included because they were known at the time, and anything that we might interpret as scientific with the benefit of discoveries made centuries later in the real world. Things like the shape of the Earth, movements of the planets, oceanic currents etc were all well known to the ancients so it would be surprising if those things were not included. Other things, such as how television works (think I'm joking?) are pure wishful thinking and desperate at that.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
