1:6 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
Okay, a five year old could understand this. But maybe if he'd had explained platetechtonics, we'd have known not to build large cities on fault lines, and millions of innocent people wouldn't have died in earthquakes over the centuries.
1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
This is uselful info to be sure, but if only he'd said, "don't feed dead cows back to live cows", we wouldn't have mad cow disease.
Now, god WAS very specific about the size of the wings on the chrubs in the house of Soloman (5 cubits) , but for some reason he never mentioned that germs spread disease, so the black plague killed 2/3 of Europe.
Funny how selective god was in the info he gave us. Maybe he really is a comedian?
