Scientific ACCURACIES in the Bible

[Angrboda]

You know, I've got this recipe, and if I follow it, I end up with a sweet, good-to-eat treat. I guess that's proof that Betty Crocker is a goddess because cake is divine. Mere mortals couldn't invent this stuff.

If you start out with the premise that man can't do anything without God's help, you're going to find out that you're right. Not because you are in fact right, but because the human mind's natural inclinations make it a lousy reasoner. The mind isn't a piece of godly fire, it's an evolved tool that is less interested in what's right than in what works; and it's terrible at double-checking its own results. (A recent text labeled it a "makes-sense" reasoner. When we have an idea about the way something happens, we examine possible answers until we find one that "makes sense," and then we stop thinking. We know from logic, science and psychology that this is not an effective method for finding answers. But the brain is built, half to find practical fixes, and half to shield us from the errors in our reasoning.)
