OK, conclusion time. Let's run down the count here:
#Fails and WTFs: 7
# Dubious and Half-Truths: 6
# Incredible! Divine Revelation is the only possible explanation: Zero
Now on the other side of the ledger...
Here is a list, provided by Steve Wells of the SAB, of contradictions or problems with the Bible in light of science or history, which serve as contra-evidence to the claim that it is a book reflecting divine revelation.
Too long a list for you? OK, let's just stick with page 1 of the Bible. Reading that first page (chapter 1 of Genesis, perhaps less depending on the size of the print), we learn that:
- Waters existed prior to the birth of the universe
- "Day" was created three days before the sun.
- The sky is a dome
- There are waters above that sky dome
- Grass and plants were created a day before the sun was created
- The stars were all created at the same time as our sun.
- The moon is a source of light
Yeah, good solid science that could only have come from divine revelation!
Have I adequately dispensed with the "scientific-miracles-in-the-Bible" nonsense?
