Re: The Bible and the Scientific Method
quote:
I propose that the use of the Bible and other 'historical' literature to generate knowledge about the physical world is not, as many claim, unscientific or (dare I say) 'supernatural', but instead perfectly good science differing only in results (by means of different inputs) from presently accepted knowledge in the overall scientific community.
History - and that is what you are talking about - is a field with far greater uncertainty than the physical science. And that is with the best methodology for dealing with ancient texts and with the support of archaeology.
The motto of the Royal Society is "Nullus in Verba" - "take nobody's word for it". How does that apply to your methodology ?
