Oh my heck, you guys. THE BIBLE IS A SPIRITUAL MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO WILL SINCERELY LISTEN. IT IS NOT A SCIENTIFIC ALMANAC! There are poems that say light comes from the moon. Read a scietific book if your looking for answers to science questions, but for an ancient document that contains writings from throughout the ages, with an enlightening spiritual message, read the bible.
On this we agree. Most of us here don't have a problem with this view.
However, there are many here (and I thought you were one of them) that suggest that the Bible does trump science in those areas that are not a spiritual concern. And, worse, think they should have some say about what is taught in schools.
You make the above comment then mention Noah. The flood did
not happen! That is a very solid scientific conclusion. If you think the Bible is not a science textbook then why bring up something about geology? The Bible is wrong about geology and, as you point out, it doesn't matter to the important message of the Bible.
