Science Confirms the Bible.

[billpuntonsghost]

Bear in mind that the Bible was written 2000-3000 years ago.
Science then- The earth was a flat disc.
The Bible stated- The earth is a sphere.Isaiah 40:22 look it up!
Science now- The earth is a sphere.

[billpuntonsghost]

Science then- Only 1,100 stars.
The Bible states-Incalculable number of stars.Jeramiah 33:22 look it up!
Science now- Incalculable number of stars.

[billpuntonsghost]

Science then-Earth sat on a large animal.
The Bible states-Free float of earth on space.Job 26:7 look it up!
Science now-Free float of earth in space.

[billpuntonsghost]

Science then- Air was weightless.
The Bible states- Air has weight.Job 28:25 look it up!
Science now-Air has weight.

[billpuntonsghost]

Science then-winds blew straight.
The Bible states-winds blow in cyclones,Ecclesiastes 1:6 look it up!
Science now-winds blow in cyclones.

The ancient Greeks figured out the Earth is a sphere.

Science then-sick people must be bled.
The Bible states-Blood is the source of life and health,Leviticus 17:11 look it up!
Science now- blood is the source of life and health.

No mention of gravity then?

Science then – the ocean floor was flat.
The Bible state-Ocean floor contains deep valleys and mountains,2 Samuel 22:16,Jonan 2:6 look it up!
Science now-Pcean floor contains deep valleys and mountains.

There’s also the inaccurate statement of pi, the geological impossibility of a global flood, the non-existence of a firmament, the claims that Earth formed before the Sun, claims of the Moon as a light and talk of a six day creation time. None of which is backed by science.

Science then- Hands should be washed in still water.
The Bible states- when dealing with disease,hands should be washed under running water,Leviticus 15:23,look it up!
Science now-when dealing with disease,hands should be washed under running water.

It’s amazing that bleeding was a common health trend among Christian societies for centuries after Christ then. Also, this is a hugely reductive statement. Oxygen and water are also important components for life. The ancients knew that blood was important. The Greeks thought blood was important for carrying life force and vitality and observed that blood loss led to death. It’s why blood was seen as a part of the ‘four humours’ theory of the time. The non-Christian Roman, Galen, believed blood supplied nutrition across the body. Neither Galen, the Greeks or the Bible fully understood the purpose of blood in supplying nutrients and oxygen across the body.

There are many more examples of the Bible being “God breathed”.
The Bible is supernatural in origin.Therefore take heed to its promises of Heaven and warning of Hell
There is “Good News” in the Biblical message

It didn’t give any indication as to why though or the importance of clean water, which is unfortunate since the deaths from typhoid and cholera killed many after.

Questions to the statements Siderite?
Carry on and answer them all?
Attempting to dismiss one or two ( even your reasoning could be debated)in an attempt to dismiss them all ,is a false idea.
You certainly wouldn’t run through them one by one,would you! Or would you?

[Siderite]

I could if I could be bothered. I don’t see the need to, because I don’t see the need to continuously ram it down, because I am not insecure.

You speak as if you have any authority, but don’t even point out whatever is wrong with my reasoning. Yet what I say, I can back up. For example, you state that the ancient belief was that the Earth was flat, yet Pythagoras and Aristotle spoke of a spherical Earth (so debunking your claim that before the Bible the world was thought of as flat or resting on animals by those with scientific inquiry). You speak of blood being the life force, which contradicts other beliefs apparently. Yet if you read other cultures from before the Bible there’s no great difference in what the Bible says and what Hippocrates said. And the ancient Egyptians thought of it as a ‘life giving force gifted to them from the gods’. So your alleged belief that the Bible brought anything new on this is just not true. The Church favoured bleeding based on what Hippocrates and Galen had suggested, so the premise you have made is false.

There are other things I could say, like how the Bible spoke of stars as objects that could fall to Earth, so the idea that it is a literal science book is erroneous. The Bible gives no greater knowledge in science beyond that of the time, which isn’t surprising. In all the examples given, the Bible doesn’t explain why (e.g. why flowing water may be more hygienic – since there was no knowledge of germs) and it doesn’t give the complete picture.

None of this means that I don’t think that religion can’t have benefits for a believer. It just means I find it silly to treat it literally. The scientists I know of who believe in the Christian God would see it as a metaphorical script, but they would not be true Christians according to you.

Being bled is being cut,not being given blood. It’s hard to get beyond that really .Copying and pasting unchecked BS is hardly proof of anything

Bible says women created from the rib of a man.

Over to you Einstein.

The bible claims, two of each species could fit into a space 300x50x30 cubits. Science shows there are between 3,000,000 (known) and 100,000,000 (potentially) species, including around 6,700 species of mammals. Science shows the ark claim is ludicrous. Science (geology) also shows there was no global flood, but does show there was a large flood over river basins around mount Ararat, the likely source of the story.

[Fifty Pence]

The bible itself can’t make its mind up about how many days the flood lasted, or how many pairs of animals of each species were included. Then there’s practical issues of providing food, micro-climates and getting rid of excrement. Science shows rainbows are a product of light refraction and reflection, without such properties there would be no life before the flood.

The sun was created three days after light was!

Think about it. Take all the time you need.

Was the light coming from God’s arseole for three days before he made the sun and gave it the job of illuminating our lives?

Ha ha yeah that was particularly funny even by Trumps cognitive brain decline standards.

[Siderite]

Not sure if that’s fully brain fog, but him chiming in with the latest hysteria from the ‘people with economic concerns’. The racist drivel being spread about Haitians in Ohio is embarrassing and dangerous. All based off someone who spread rumours while admitting they have no knowledge of a supposed pet eating event. Now we have KKK leaflets going round for mass deportations of ‘filth’ and events cancelled at the local university because of threats of shooting Haitians. Social media has been rife with idiots sharing someone not white barbecuing lamb or something and them claiming it’s someone’s pet dog. There is an element here who are trying to whip up racist hate, but will moan of disunity when others call out those stoking it.
