Whose facts are more out of whack Science OR the Bible?

RE: Whose facts are more out of whack Science OR the Bible?
@ Castle, you did not answer my question.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

These days, with the state of the fundies in the world, it's hard to tell the difference.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Poe's law: Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake it for the genuine article.

Corollary: It is impossible for an act of Fundamentalism to be made that someone won't mistake for a parody.

Paradox: In any fundamentalist group, a paradox exists where any new person (or idea) sufficiently fundamentalist to be accepted by the group is likely to be so ridiculous that they risk being rejected as a parodist (or parody).

Does that mean I'm the next messiah?

I predicted Wladimir Klitschko would beat David Haye.

Currently it's the only prediction I've made, because it's the only one I thought was relevant. I won't do lottery numbers for example, because I don't see the point.
So as it stands I have a 100% prediction ratio!
Facepalm

Chances are better when you know your stuff

Talk about a punch in the face, Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO) you can not deny that he is the best heavyweight in the world right now.

David Haye (25-1, 23 KO)

You have a better chance with that one, than I did with GW Bush second electionWink

I do not understand why people want to follow Med evil time leaders that could not manage to live longer than people today. Those leaders made up wild unconnected stories back then, which Christian today tries to make up further non connecting stories again causing 2000 different version of the bible which disagree with each other, (such maddness really). Confused Fall

Unfortunately science didn't exist at the time to get an accurate assumption. So that is why most people assume the earth was mainly flat. My backyard in BC climbs higher than 25 feet, who flatten the Mountains back then?, the dragons or Giants, certainly not the dinosaurs.

Isaiah 40:22 is claiming that the Earth is a flat circle.

The Bible indicates in several places that the earth is a sphere suspended in space,

He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in," (Isaiah 40:22). The Hebrew language did not have a word for "sphere."

I I see it like the lone wolf story, in which wolves are very social animals toward their own pack.
A lone wolf will die, if separated or cast out from the pack. Once human realizes they can thrive well enough mostly on their own, they will change.
