Don't scientific discoveries conflict with the Bible, even invalidate a lot of what is in the Bible?"

Question

the Bible shows an understanding of medicine and science that pre-dates man's understanding of medicine and science, then we can only conclude that there is a Mind out there who is way ahead of us. Rather than try to explain Him away at every turn, the more insightful conclusion might be to acknowledge His great design and creativity. If He's there and He's real, we can't dethrone Him. He's in charge and nothing can change that. Scientific discoveries are merely observing, understanding and using systems that He has already designed. Theories attempting to discredit God's existence (like evolution from species to new species, as an attempt to explain life apart from God) are merely rabbit trails which lead to unanswered questions like, "why then don't fossil records show transitionary species?" Why not acknowledge our Creator? What God has told us in the Bible about Himself, our world and our purpose, is a great starting place to understanding this life.

by the way im not christian, but I believe in God

Answer 1

yes they do

Answer 2

Actually there has been things in the Bible that scietists have proven as scientific facts. AND, in 1992 a satellite called (COBE) Cosemic Background Explore collected data that proved the universe began with a single explosion of pure energy. Also a top Scholar (which scholars usually don't recognise the reliability or accuracy of the Bible) named Dr. clark Pinnock wrote:

There exists no doccument from the ancient world
witnessed by so excelent a set of textual and his-
torical testimonies and offering so superb an array
of historical data on which an intelligent decision
may be made. An honest [person] cannot dismiss a
source of this kind. Skepticism regarding the historical
credentials of Christianity is based upon irrational bias.

Answer 3

Your post makes no sense. You jumped around from point to point, not taking time to set any arguments up and overall making no unifying point to your defense of the existence of deities.

1. Prove the bible shows a good understanding of medicine and science. Most attempts I see are citations of barely relevant passages, whose interpretations have changed in recent years with Scientific progression. It doesn't count as evidence of understanding if you only understand the passages' meaning as being about a scientific phenomena after the phenomena in question is discovered.

2. Design arguments are inherently flawed in their nature because they reverse engineer probabilities and point to them as if they alone are significant. Without retestability of the probabilities, theres no way to indicate interference in a natural universe.

3."Ifs" mean nothing. Theres no argument in hypothetical situations.

4. Evolution makes no attempt to disprove deities, it only gives a natural cause to the origin of species. Even things like the Big Bang do not disprove deities, as they do not lay down any definitive creation points for the universe. Deities are part of metaphysics and Science never makes claims on metaphysics. Likewise, metaphysics cannot make claims of science (IE. ID is not science).

5. Transitional fossils do exist, this is just one of many PRATTs Creationists insist on arguing. Tiktaalik and Archaeopteryx are nice examples of Transitional fossils.

Again, you really should organize your thoughts (and get better sources for arguments, eh?) if you want to make a point.

EDIT: "If they had read Leviticus 17 where it states that the life of the flesh is in the blood. they would have realized that bleeding someone will kill them."

You do realize that back then blood was seen as an important source for the body as well? The reason they drained blood was because they hypothesized that sickness was caused by imbalance in the four humors and draining blood allowed them to get back into balance.

Most likely Christian interpretation of that chapter (during medeval times) would be that human blood was precious for the flesh in maintaining control of the humors.

Answer 4

There are some particular factors of the Bible that fluctuate from technological awareness such via fact the age of the universe, the coexistance of particular species with different species, etc. It via no skill invalidates something and as replaced into observed would be seen to corraborate particular issues. it rather is substantial keep in mind that the Bible is at its maximum elementary, a historic textual content. it rather is a determination of oral legends and myths and morality thoughts (the two sturdy and undesirable) with reference to the human beings of the area. it rather is not any longer a technological awareness textual content and replaced into on no account meant to be. it rather is going to no longer be taken actually while it references numbers or dates via fact those are estimates at terrific from a those that did no longer keep music of such issues and have been recorded generations after the activities befell.

Answer 5

It has always been convenient and comforting through the ages to ascribe unexplainable phenomena to an intelligent cause. (God!) It makes us think there is a non-random reason for their occurrence and so leads us to believe we can exert a level of supernatural control on their outcome if we get in good with the intelligence that controls them. (Pray for rain!)

As time goes by and we discover truths about some of the previously unknown phenomena, we learn that (gasp) they have causes that are now easily understood by us and can even be manipulated or predicted by us. With classic regularity, religion deals with scientific revelations by labelling them as heresy. (Evolution) Once it is evident that the discoveries aren't going to be bullied away, the religion then tries to spin their interpretations to somehow fit with the newly accepted facts about the universe around us, even if they are in direct conflict with previous religious belief. (Intelligent Design)

You, my friend, have merely passed from denial to spinning.

Answer 6

Absolutely they do! Like the earth being flat and that the sun revolves around the earth. Does the Christian god still believe man could build a tower so high that it could reach heaven? The bible is full of ridiculous statements, mythology and lies.

Answer 7

Yes, far ahead. Like when the bible says the earth is flat, and unicorns exist. I see now, I feel so foolish for believing modern science when it says the earth is round. And way ahead. I talks about people coming back from the dead. That happens all the time, and has just been covered up. NOT. Get real. Fairy tails have no place in our time.

Answer 8

Actually there is much scientific knowledge and especially archialogical evidence that completely validates the scriptures. I am a firm believer that God uses the simple things to confound the mighty.

Answer 9

You are indeed a rare bird. You believe in God, not a Christian, are aware that there are "no" fossil record of any transition from one specie to another. I am puzzled-do you believe what the Bible says? I am puzzled.
Now to your question-I am not aware of any discovery that invalidates anything recorded in the Bible. I am aware that there are many, many who do not believe it-but have no evidence to stand on.

Edit: excuse me, "no evidence to "disprove" it.

Answer 10

The Bible has a lot of riddles and parables and is always subject to interpretation. Science deals only with facts and the proof of them. You really can't combine or compare the two.

Answer 11

True science and the bible are the same.
The truth is the truth!

Its the Global warming, environmentalists, and hip-ie G there cant be a god science that is full of BS.
