Flat Earth and Geocentrism

[Chad32]

No-one claims that Bible is a book of science it contains the same amount science as a Bronze Jew would understand as in not very much. The Jewish concept of God would work with the universe as we understand equally as well as the universe as they understood it back then. No God of the gaps involved if the Bible never had anything to do with science.

Oh, there's still a god of the gaps. Back then people didn't think heaven was a place beyond space and time. They thought it was a physical place above the clouds. We know that lightning doesn't strike because god is throwing thunderbolts, and we know volcanoes don't erupt because a fire god is angry. The whole point of the god of the gaps is that the more we learn about the world, the fewer things deities seems to be responsible for, and the fewer places they are. The only thing it has to do with science is the fact that the scientific method allows us to know more about how the world and universe works.

I'm also pretty sure some people do claim there's scientific stuff in the bible. Of course the bible is such a confusing mess that people can get it to say pretty much whatever they want.
