Actually, scientific study of the Bible, how it was written, its source, and the nation of Ancient Israel, show that it is some of the most solid science around.
I don't know in what world you live.
Of course you don't. You show us that you don't really know much of anything. You don't really need to start telling us the obvious.
There is scientific fact and there is scientific interpretation. For example. A scientist digs a bone out of the ground. He can see the bone. He analyzes a chip off the bone and finds that it is truly bone material. The size of the bone is readily evident before his eyes. These things are scientific fact.
Then the scientist guesses as to the class in history that the bone comes from. He says it is Neanderthal. He thinks this from the location of the dig. He compares it to other Neanderthal bones. He determines how much it has weathered to find that the age fits the age of the Neanderthals. So, he
guesses and says it is a Neanderthal bone.
The fact is that the age of the earth is just guesses. So, he can't know for sure the age of the bone? And most of his other interpretations are based on a bunch of interpretations of other scientists regarding many things that they don't really know to be the fact. Consensus among scientists does not make fact.
Israel is a strong nation. The people of that nation are stubborn that their tradition should be kept. They have been keeping the traditions that Moses gave them back at the time of the Exodus about 3500 years ago. Would they lie about their writings? They practice them. They live them.
Since these people are strong enough to stubbornly continue their practice of recording tradition for 3500 years, what makes you think that their traditions are in any way false? Now if this were the only thing in favor of Bible truth, it still would be very strong. But the question is
why Israel keeps the traditions going. The answer is Moses. Moses told them to do it. And Moses was strong enough way back then, that he influences them today through his Bible writings.
Does the strength that Moses shows us come about from lies? Moses was the adopted son/grandson of a Pharaoh. He had access to records of the world that have long since perished. And he wrote some of those records down in the Bible. The fact that his strength exists today after 3500 years in the people of Israel, shows that he wrote truth... because lies fall apart very easily, and would never have lasted a fraction of that time.
Isaiah wrote something like 450 B.C. We have copies of his Bible writing from the Dead Sea Scrolls - from as far back as 400 B.C. - that are essentially the same as we have today. These copies have been accurately copied over a period greater than 2,000 years. This is strength.
All we have from science is a bunch of "measurements," and then a bunch of wild interpretations in their attempt to bring the measurements into congruity. What we have from the Bible is solid history - eye witness accounts from a people too stubborn to lie.
If that weren't enough, analysis of the info in the Bible is not only historically accurate, but is psychologically accurate.
Coincube has been showing us information upon information in the
Health and Religion thread, that shows us how important accurate, truthful religion is to health. And here is Israel, the most long-lasting nation in the world, and you would downplay their religion, the strongest religion in the world that has given them the greatest health of any?
Now, don't get me wrong. The fact that you don't even know what world you live in, isn't something that makes you less of a person. Lots of people don't understand much about life and truth. The thing that shows how bad off you are is that you would rather fight the truth than start to learn it. Is there any hope for you at all?
God saw hope for you. He wants you in Heaven with Him. That is why you are so curious about all this that you would question it. You instinctively know that there is strength in God and the Bible. You simply never heard anybody explain it like this to you before.
Isn't it about time that you accept the Bible truths you are learning, and get rid of all those scientific assumptions that don't have any strength at all?
