Bible: Word of God or Not

Verification by prediction is indeed something scientists hold in very high esteem.
Do you have any specific examples of biblical predictions coming true?
Or is it, as I suspect, a case of interpretation after the supposedly predicted event has actually happened.......? Edited by AdminPD, : Warning

If you are looking for a holy book that is the word of God then surely the Koran can lay better claim.
It was supposedly dictated to Muhammed directly by Allah and has remained unchanged and unedited for thousands of years. Unlike the bible.I would argue that which particular holy book you believe as containing Gods influence will depend almost entirely on where and to whom you are born and the predominant cultural belief system this imposes/indoctrinates.But...in terms of this thread there are other holy books which could lay greater claim to being the word of God than the bible on consistency if nothing else.

The scientific method is the best means we have of approximating any sort of objective truth. Peer review, repeatable experiments, refutable prediction, reliance on physical rather than persoanl anecdotal evidence etc. etc. are all designed to nullify prejudice, bias and belief when drawing conclusions. The scientific method in it's widest sense is our best effort to peer over the top of the tinted spectacles we all inevitably wear.If you have a better method for reaching the most objective conclusion I am sure we would all love to hear it. However....This discussion may be better held in 'The consequences of evolution is false' thread, where we have reached the same sort of point.Edited by AdminNWR, : off topic
