Re: Generation of Scientists Turning Againist Evolution
You should read the information on the sites you link to before you post, there's some howlers on this one.
Look at the date given for the writing of the Bible.
The Bible is estimated to have been written between 1450 A.D. and 95 A.D.
The moron cannot even get the dates correct.
Then he claims that the wonderful Bible informed us that:
The Earth is round
Then claims that science discovered that the Earth was round in the 15th century, but science has never discovered that the Earth is round because it isn't round.
Scientific proof that the Bible was inspired by God? No. Scientific proof that the author of this webpage you linked to is a moron? Yes.

Re: Generation of Scientists Turning Againist Evolution
I suspect most of the majority texts were written between 95 AD and 1450 AD...
I think it is simply a typo, the author must have meant 1450 BC - 95 AD. You always start with the earliest date (you do this yourself in your reply), thus 1450 AD - 95 AD does not make sense. I would also say that all of the OT books were written a good bit before 95 AD, even the oldest extant, the Dead Sea Scrolls, were almost all written before this time. Plus, we do not have any complete NT texts dated 95 AD.
P.S. Even if the earth would be slightly pear shaped its round cause you can go round it.
You can go round any shape at all, you can go round a square if you wish. But Isaiah was specifically talking of the Earth being a circle, and in keeping with the flat Earth promotion in the Bible, this circle would have been flat, like a CD or DVD.
