Re: Biblical Evidence
If people would have read the bible in Columbuses time they would have known he wasnt going to fall off the edge of the earth.
which is false, columbus never thought this, washington irving made this up and people still think it, columbus died thinking the america was india
Jonah 2:5,6oes not talk about montains under water,it talks of going to shaol
Job 26:7:the greeks knew the earth stood on nothing, so the bible didn't really come up with this
Hebrews 11:3:umm this has nothing to do with subatomic particals, it has to with faith in god, and the greeks knew about atoms thats where it comes from
Peter 3:10: has to do with wiping away the old not atomic anything.
Psalm 8:8 - umm people understood ocean currents thousands of years before the bible, do you think people are stupid about things like this?
Job 36:27: oh come on if you read it in context it's glorifying god not talking about the water cycle even if it was, its not really right
Job 40-41 : is not about dinosaurs, its about a hippo or elephant
Jeremiah 33:22: umm, where does it talk about stars it talks about sand and the hosts of heaven
Isaiah 40:22: a circle is not a sphere
Also Galieo estimated 6,000 stars in his time before the telescope. If he would have read Jeremiah 33:22 he would have known already. All these things written below which are in the bible( we know to be true today w/o doubt )
do you have proof that he thought there were only 6000 stars? it doesn't sound like you know much about galileo, he disproved it was a limited mass of stars.
none of the passages show that the bible can be remotely used a science book, nor should it

Re: Biblical Evidence
could you know.. space your posts out a bit?
anyway i was speaking of sheol the jewish after life, almost all the torah is about expressing the glory of god and his interaction with humanity
if you read all of it instead of just one line, the author speaks of how god can bring a person back from the lowest points you can get, which is sheol, or the pit
you seem to think that everyone believed in the samethings at the same time which is untrue, greek philosophers did not believe in the greek gods by the time of the hebrews
by the way why do i have to believe in the bible to understand the writers?
as for hebrews i would think being that the bible is about spiritual things it is talking about spirits and angels and faith, not atoms
oh and i told you what the "hosts of heaven are" they are angels and such things like that where does it say stars at?
all i can see is you are putting your own spin on things, instead of reading it as a book on mans interaction with god.
the bible is not a science book, not matter how much you wish it is, it is a religious text book
but you are trying to rationalize the bible as a science book by saying things like "if blah blah had read the bible he would know this rather than using his human brain to figure it out"
try reading some of the threads we have on most of this scripture, there are lots of threads going over this
