A Former Atheist

[downbeatplumb]

Let me see. How to answer that. First of all, the origins of science and education didn't get their start in the secular world, but rather in the religious.

This is true up to here.
Scientific method was initially to find out the workings of god.
But then it started to conflict with dogma and the bible and the two went there separate ways. 

 Secondly, I can name respected scientists in many fields who not only not believe in evolution, but also teach the Bible in their spare time. So there may be some disagreement with current science and the Bible regarding the flood and evolution but there isn't as much disagreement as you might suspect.

Evolution is an established fact and the biblical flood is a proven lie.
There are lots of sources that will confirm these statements. Seek and you shall find.

Remember, science can't test the supernatural so they have no authority to state a position on it, really. 

There is no such thing as the supernatural.
No ghosts, no demons, no souls, no fairies, no Elohim, no hob goblins and no gods.
All inventions by primitive societies to explain shit they didn't understand.

Growing up in public schools in the 1970's and 1980's as an unbeliever my science teachers were atheist and most of what they told me, now obsolete science peppered with what I now know was Biblical ignorance was touted as unchangeable fact. Knowledge grows, evolves, changes. Facts don't. Tomorrow's science will no doubt negate the science of today.

This may be the case but you can only go with the most up to date evidence and become more right as the science and equipment improves.
This is a strength of science not a weakness. If there is an error it will be fixed eventually.
Religions will always be wrong. 

Hundreds of years ago the current science thought that night and day were caused by vapors, from the sky in the day and from the ground at night while the Bible had said thousands of years ago that night and day were due to the luminaries.

You know what fixes these errors, science. If they had been religious pronouncements they would still be believed by the faithful now. Religions by their unchanging nature are always wrong. 

The hydrologic cycle from the Bible and hygienic laws from the Bible predated science,

The hygienic laws also include lots of burning of innocent wildlife to purify women after menstruation and other crazy nonsense.
I am unsure of what you mean by the bible explaining the hydrological cycle and suppose it is similar to some of the bulshit scientific claims muslims make for their book.

 the latter during Moses' time were only realized in the last 150 years. Until then a physician would go from the morgue to the birthing table without so much as washing their hands. The spherical shape of the earth was explained by the Bible hundreds of years before science concluded it.

You know who else thought the world was spherical? ancient greeks.
And the idea that people thought the world was flat.
Not so true as you would think.

My family and friends are mostly atheists, and like myself at the time, they don't believe everything science dictates to them. None of them that I know believe in evolution. We thought of it as bullshit, like the American public school's teaching of myth and legends, propaganda and outright lies in the guise of historical fact.

The thing with science is that it is not about what you can believe but about what you can prove.
I grow tired of religious people trying to drag science down to their level.
