Investigation of Biblical science errors

You mentioned which might well be interesting if it were correct. Too bad that the global winds are east and west and not north to south.That's the problem with trying to fit these so called predictions and knowledge into the real world.They simply do not fit.

[cliff on]Well as the cognisti know, in the beginning, the Earth rotated North to South. That's right, North to South. All the great winds blew from the South and then turned around and headed back.It was only after the startup after the Earth stood still that the rotation changed. One of the Angels, Mickey I think it was, got things screwed up and spun the sucker wrong.That's where we get the term Precession for the changing of the seasons because Mickey didn't have any.[/cliff off]

Planetary winds are neither South to North OR North to South.And that is the point.The verse you alluded to: is yet another example of errors in Biblical text. It is why the Bible cannot be taken literally.

shows nothing. It is the same non-statement you can find in any myth. That is not a scientific statement. Circle, not sphere. You got nothing there. Nonsense. Anyone who has ever felt a breeze couold say the same.PG, you have nothing.The Bible is not a science textbook.finally Again, pure nonsense. Of course folk know what holds the atom together. Please take time to look at the four forces.

Simply wrong. In fact, Science is based on questioning and not on faith. Again, simply wrong. That is why one of the basic requirements of Science is repeatability. Any new discovery is considered tenative until and unless it can be independantly tested. that is why so much effort goes into checking the qualities of the substance you work with, and for accounting for things like impurities, specifications and quality.Finally, your statement that... is simply crap.Advance comes from the unexpected. The whole history of science is one of overturning what everyone knew was right.

First, the best estimate I have been able to come up with is that Daniel was written somewhere around 605-536 B.C.Let's see how Daniels does as a History source.First, the Medes and Persian, Babylon and Greece were all pretty well established empires when it was written. Afterall, Daniel was written over a hundred years after the Iliad. So I am not surprised that it mentions what were world powers at the time.I did not find the mention though of Rome in either 2, 7 or 8. Perhaps you can point it out?PGNo one is saying that there is not historical references in the Bible. There most certainly are. But there are also many glaring Historical errors. Time after time things are mentioned as historical references which simply did not happen. Some examples are the flood, the battle at Jerico (if it did happen it did not happen when the Bible says), the Exodus (if it happened it was certainly several orders of magnitude smaller than the myth), the story of Moses in Egypt and on and on.Sure there is some history in the Bible, but like the Iliad and many other stories from the period, it takes external corroboration to seperate the truth from the fiction.

DarkStarThe topic is the investigation of Biblical Science errors.So far you have not refuted any of the scientific errors that have been introduced.It is easy to alledge some vast conspiricy, some predispostion on the part of the participants. But to support such an assertion, you must show some logical or rational structure. You cannot simply say "Nah-nah-nah. You're wrong and I'm right".The issue is not whether or not there is any science in the Bible, the issue is that there is so many errors in what passes for science in the Bible that it is an unreliable source.Science, to be of any value, must increase knowledge. It must provide a way to understand what was previously unclear. It must more adequately explain observations than the previously held theory.If you know of examples from the Bible that can do that, please present them.

these posts. Message 1
Message 13
Message 22
Message 31I'll add a few more. Why is there the story of a Flood that never happened, a Creation myth that has every thing wrong and a desciption of an ship that could never have floated?

You bring up some very good points and one that completely defines why Evolution is Science and Creationism a myth. There are many people who have already made up their minds and so will not be convinced by evidence, no matter how compelling. Fortunately, Science does not deal with TRUTH. It is only those who have already decided that they know TRUTH that would make such a statement. If you have already decided what is TRUTH, then you have already precluded ever learning. And the criticism came from those who knew the TRUTH. As throughout history, once again it was shown that those who knew the TRUTH, were just plain wrong.History continues to show that those who know the TRUTH are most often wrong.

And that is why you're unlikely to ever learn anything.Science is simply trying to learn. We never quite get to TRUTH, but little by little we learn more. The knowledge we do gain is constantly changing. Often we find that we have been totally wrong. Then that happens, we throw out the old theory and search for a new, better explaination.
