| bigjon said: It seems to be the only viabible option as to how we all got here... I have studied evolution extensively and I have come to the conclusion that it take more faith to beleive in Evolution and the big bang than it does to believe in God and creation. Also the Bible has never been proven wrong, people have discredited it, but have never had proof. Example, in the middle ages people pointed to a passage in Job(might be psalms) to say the Bible is wrong, the passage refers to the earth being round and at that time "science" believed the world to be flat... then comes Gallileo.. and guess what, the world is round. There are others things to like the Bible referring to the blood as the source of life (it is) but until the 19th century science believed other wise (this the reason G. Washington was bled to death) How could the writers of the bible know more about science than the leading scientist of the day.... without their being some supernatural influence (inspiration) |
Well, I doubt it was entirely Science who had some wrong beliefs. The huge amount of this stuff came from misinformation spreaded by the church. The church has been a strong opponent of science in history. The church strictly forbid Galileo to continue work on his discovery.
Well, of course you can now say that the church was shit, but the bible isn't.
But the bible, especially the old testament, is a book of interpretation. Take a look at the Bible Code or other false prophecies. The Bible is telling life stories, this book is using a lot of metaphers. What we make out of these words is entirely up to us.
And let's not forget that there were a lot of books from the new testament. The canon which we got was decided by a bunch of bishops like 1900 years ago.
All I want to say is that you have to take bible stories with a grain of salt.
