Where Science And The Bible Meet

ArchArchitectYou cannot pick and choose, and then even bend what you choose.As was pointed out the language was 'gave her light'. If God was overseeing the formation of this scripture, why not simply state the indirect nature of the Moon's light?You completely ignore, the very next clause "and the stars shall fall from heaven", which demonstrates complete ignorance of the reality of the nature of the universe. If I apply your method I can find similar amazing insights in many earlier scriptures of religions you probably disdain.As comparison go read the "scientific" insights that Muslim's claim the Koran contains. They do the same song and dance - quite convincingly, to those who want to be convinced.Consider this: Not one a single scientific revelation of the nature of reality has come about by the literal or inspired reading of the bible - not one. It is always in retrospect that one can find the amazing supposed insight.

My point it that one can do the very same thing with the ancient scriptures of Islam, Hindu and Buddhism. It is not really that hard to squint as some scripture and imagine some deep meaning that is not there. There are many Islamic websites that lay it all out and even demonstrate that the Koran describes embryology, is checksummed with numerology, etc. That is, IMHO a very arrogant position that must be born out of ignorance. I have no such certainty and willing admit to it. That last statement is contradiction. First you say you don't need proof and then you say the miracles you have witnessed are proof.There is good thread on here that discusses miracles and the subjective fallacy of confirmation bias. You character and attitude reminds more of the pharisees; than of Jesus or the apostles.Edited by iceage, : No reason given.Edited by iceage, : Removed points that would led of topicEdited by AdminPD, : Warning

So the biblical quotes that are absurd are supernatural, but those fragments, that if given some liberal interpretation, demonstrate amazing rational scientific insights.Other religious fundamentalists do the same thing with their "holy scripture". The Muslim's claim that the Koran describes embryology.What about stopping the Sun or even moving the Sun's shadow backwards. Do these passage demonstrate insight or ignorance of cosmology. Evidently not, since stopping the Sun would require the suspension of all the laws of conservation of momentum just so Joshua could take his revenge. Why not just stop the beating of the black evil hearts of these enemies of god.It is odd that this being that could evoke such far reaching supernatural powers at will, found iron chariots formidable in Judges 1:19.

Life is not in the blood. The blood is but one of components required by blood borne life.Is life in Bile? for surely you cannot live without Bile.Nevertheless ICANT you are doing a fine job of illustrating the point that the Bible reveals nothing beyond the contemporary state of knowledge at the time of writing.Homer wrote the following...

Arch why did you start a topic on the alleged insight of the Bible concerning the natural world?If you can honestly answer that question, I think you will have answered your other question above.
