Quote:Richard Dawkins in a debate with John Lennox said how the Bible has made no accurate predictions, no real prophecies (I'm paraphrasing by the way). Then John Lennox said that it did make an astounding and excellent prediction (all my quoting on this post is paraphrased): A prediction that the universe had a beginning. Which agrees with modern science.

I dont know why Lennox said that, all I could do is shake my head and go, 'No, thats not right.'

Quote:I love Dawkins response. He says how it's not exactly an amazing prediciton either the universe had a beginning or it didn't.

A lot of other religions back then thought the world didnt have a beginning, it just went in cycles...
So perhaps it was incredible that the Bible does talk about a beginning...

Some interesting reading:

The Return of the Phoenix Universe
