51 scientific facts that disprove the Bible

And I'm sorry, but did you keep a straight face when you wrote those two? And you have the audacity to use the word "pathetic" - I think you need to look to yourself You also seem to think that the Bible could not possibly contradict itself, and use this "fact" to push your arguments further. Why should anyone accept your claim that the Bible does not contradict itself, given the rather plentiful evidence that it does?I also note that many of your "refutations" involve contradicting the beliefs of our creationist friends here at EvC. I trust you will be taking them to task over their belief, in much the way you have addressed this list?Oh, and welcome to EvC... Edited by cavediver, : No reason given.

so believing that the Bible is inerrant is a requirement for entering heaven! There's going to be a very large bunch of highly pissed-off born-again Christians, who just weren't big on that inerrancy crap, languishing in hell so "evolutionists" cannot be Christians? What about all my close friends at T. Baptist Church in South London, each a scientist, each very much in agreement with the theory of evolution, and each an evangelical born-again Christian? Are they for hell, too?And as a scientist, and someone who was a born-again Christian for twenty-four years, I'm pissing myself laughing at your dismissal of YECism as scientifically unsound You wouldn't know "sound" if it was slapping you round the face with a fresh lobster Anyway, back to your idiocy: Really? And what exactly would the Orion "cluster" be? And it is written out fully-named in the Bible? Wow, I didn't know that it even existed! And as an astrophysicist, I really would have thought I would have known that...Here's a quick snippet from Wiki (I know, I hate it too, but it is useful):

Also, like most open clusters, the Pleiades will not stay gravitationally bound forever, as some component stars will be ejected after close encounters and others will be stripped by tidal gravitational fields. Calculations suggest that the cluster will take about 250 million years to disperse, with gravitational interactions with giant molecular clouds and the spiral arms of the galaxy also hastening its demise.

Look's like God is wrong again, huh? Omniscience just isn't what it used to be...Edited by cavediver, : No reason given.Edited by cavediver, : No reason given.

A "portion" ??? It's 25-30 arcminutes across compared to Orion's body height of ~1000 arcminutes. It's a small splodge of stars just above M42 (the Orion Nebula) You really want to claim that God was refering to NGC 1981 when he used the term "Orion"? Just how desperate are you?
