Science And The Bible - Introduction

[Edwardo Piet]

So you are saying that there is probably nothing factual about the Bible without ever having read it or checked its facts? You do this in the name of evidence and science and you think I can't call you out on it?

You see that? What I did there?

I have read bits of the bible. Scanned through parts. Mostly read genesis etc. I just haven't read the whole thing. I've read stuff about it on SAB, etc. I've heard stuff about it though Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens, etc.
And the point is, I don't even need to have done or know any of this. Asking me if the bible is factually true or not is like asking me :"How do you KNOW that other countries in the world exist if you've never been outside the UK? How do you know? You've only seen it on maps and TV and in books. You've never actually been there, how do you know?". Or asking: "How can you trust that evolution is correct until you've seen every single fossil on the planet and had you yourself have had DNA sequenced?" questions like that are stupid. You however justify the bible as facts when there's not even any evidence in the bible. Never mind strong evidence, there's not even any WEAK evidence.

Some people say that the Bible is scientifically inaccurate and therefore unauthentic, not possibly the inspired word of the Creator, Jehovah God. I have addressed these accusations and demonstrated them to be misunderstandings.
1. Was the Earth created in 6 literal days? No.

2. Was the flood possible? Yes.

3. Does the Bible say that the earth is flat? No.

4. Does the Bible say that bats are birds? No.

5. Does the Bible say that insects have four legs? No.

6. Does the Bible say that Rabbits chew their cud? Refection.

You're talking an awful lot more about what it DOESN'T say than what it actually does says. So you're talking about whats not in the bible not whats in it? Its what IS in it that I have problems with. It claims God but there is no evidence of God. And there's a lot of evil in the bible.

Since you are criticising the Bible where do you get your facts from in doing so?

You will notice that I have said in the past that I don't think that science actually does conflict with the Bible. I am trying to demonstrate this but I can't even get any of you guys to tell me what a picture of some sculls are, you are so confident in your facts!

I don't need facts to criticize the bible. The burden of proof remember? If you don't have evidence I can just dismiss the bible. I don't need any facts to dismiss nonsensical claims about the universal.
Yes claims about the universe. The bible DOES conflict with science. Miracles? God? Creation? And the supernatural altogether? All of this stuff conflicts with science.
EDIT: Corrected mistake where I accidentally quoted the end of one of my lines as Daystar at the start of this post. I deleted that part now.
