Does The Bible really contradict sceince? If so, where?

Question

I'm just asking, I'm NOT depicting The Bible.

Answer 1

The Bible is perfect when taken literally. It's just those stupid linguistic scientists who have it wrong when they say languages evolve. We know better from Genesis 11.

Answer 2

Read Genesis.

Science proves that the world was not created in a week, humans were not shaped out of clay, the entire world was not covered with a flood, etc.

Any claim that the Bible is a work of science just proves that you don't understand the Bible or science. The Bible is meant to teach morality. Its scientific claims are based on human knowledge from several thousand years ago. Science has progressed a long way since then.

Answer 3

I do not know of any instance where the Bible says something contrary to any scientific law. But the term "law" is key. The Bible does in fact disagree with many ideas or so called theories like big bang, evolution and so on. The Bible does not explain the details of creation, it just says 'God said, let there be...'. Some can not accept this as possible even though they can believe evolution without any evidence.

Answer 4

It does not.It does not really agree with evolution because it state God created the beasts each after their kind.
The book that state God hanged the wold upon nothing is Job 26:7.As to creation in 7 days it also states a day is a thousand years to God.Neither should be taken literally because the way of speaking of time past in that period was very vague.As to the age of the earth NOWHERE in the Bible does it say.The age of 4 to 5 thousand years is derived by men through the use of genealogy.But it is well known that complete genealogies were not kept so this is not a Biblicaly sound date.

Answer 5

The Bible doe not contradict science. It was not written as a scientific book. Some scientific advances hadn't yet taken place. The authors used symbolism to make a point. You have to take in the intent of the author. Some passages may look to contradict science, but the author was making a larger point and was bound to the culture and knowledge of his day.

Answer 6

The Bible says the Earth is only 4000 years old. Science says is Millions of years old. The Church once believed that the Sun revolved around the Earth and the world was flat.

Answer 7

no.while the book is not a scientific book, i have found that it is scientifically correct.
for example, there is a script in there in Issiah (I'm sure its Issiah) that says God is hanging the earth over nothing, which is scientifically correct.
this is amazing when you take into consideration what secular people thought of the earth at the time Issiah wrote the book under inspiration of God
EDIT:
while there may exist apparent contradictions in the bible, one would have to actually read more than the one script to see the light of the subject.
that said, i do not believe the bible ever contradicts itself.
EDIT:
dang, tommy g. you beat me to it. it was job.
silly me. ...and yes.. for my own reassurance.. i was going to check the scripture.

Answer 8

The Bible and Science are too different topics...they dont contradict each other....The Bible was written by many different men ......Science is a study that looks for facts.....theyre totally different

Answer 9

religious people in the past thought the earth was flat and they were wrong

they thought that the earth was the center of the universe and they were wrong

therefore I never take anything what religion or the bible says as face value.

Answer 10

Many times.
