It seems like willful ignorance to me. Why trust a book that is between 2000 and 5000 years old over modern scientific discovery? The bible didn't say anything about nuclear technology, does that mean it doesn't exist?

Blind ignorant stupidity. If ignorance is bliss, Christians must be having never-ending explosive orgasms.

For one thing, the Bible is rewritten every few years to give the latest story of creation, or the Flood, or the resurrection. What passes for science today (and a lot of it is not science, it is hair-brained theories) is constantly changing. First, the human race is 500,000 years old, then 1,000,000 years. Every time a new ancestor of the human race is found : Peking man, Java man, Lucy man, they always turn out to be either fully human, fully ape, and extinct pig, or an out and out fraud.
True science follows the scientific method. True science doesn't contradict the Bible.
The Bible doesn't say anything about nuclear technology, or color televisions, or saxophones. What is the point? Why would nuclear technology be mentioned in the Bible?

Every scientific fact mentioned in the Bible has been proven to be true, unlike science which is always changing. Would anyone here take a science class, if the text book that was being used was 20 years old or more. The more scientific claims change, the more scientist realize the Bible is true.

I believe in the Bible because the God of the Bible instantly and permanently changed my life and gave me lasting peace over 36 years ago. I don't believe there is anything in the Bible that contradicts true science, but there is science, and there is science falsely so-called.
As for nuclear technology, God created the sun which is powered by nuclear fusion. Man just happened to discover it after rubbing sticks together for 6000 years.

The Bible requires faith.By giving your praise to science you fail to give it to the most brilliant scientist.If you think about the most brilliant minds in history,they all got there brains from somewhere. Most choose to give the glory of there findings to themselves,or other men who all are creations of God who had the Bible written through methods which faithless people cannot understand so they dismiss it a mere chance.If nuclear power has a creator do you really believe that for all it's power,that man MADE it.

Science is still in it's infancy. Even if you don't believe one word of the Bible, you'd be foolish to charactorize our present pool of scientific knowledge as anything but minimal. Science has barely scratched the surface, and much of what has become scientific dogma will be reduced to scientific myth in the coming years and decades.

and yet so many people belive that man came from sponges(which actually was "proved" through the chain of evolutionby a "scientist") and yet the Bible says the Earth was created by God which is simple when all this crap about evolution is absurd. and the Bible did say that the Earth was round somewhere in the book of Daniel or something like that before when people thought that the Earth was flat. that was considered the right mindset of thinking and yet it was disproved. the only ignorance is coming from those people who belive that order came from chaos and it was by mere chance that we came to be here on this planet. athat sounds like willful ignorance to me.

Sceience didn;t say anythign about a round earth, but the Bible did thousands of years before science did.
Science didn't figure out that life of livign creatures is in the blood (George Washington died of blood letting), but the Bible told us that it was over 3-5000 years ago.

I take them both. Scientific fact without someone giving an interpretation of it. Scientific theory is always changing, what was thought to be fact 50 years ago we laugh at today. There is all kinds of scientific knowledge in the Bible, you just have to dig for it.

well if you are such a student of 'science', you probably should have asked your question with the scientific truth about the age of the writings that came to be called the Bible.
The first writings of the Bible start about 1504 BCE(before common era).The last written book of the Bible was completed about 96 CE(common era).
that would make the age 'between' 1910 years old and 3510 years old.
What I enjoy about your slam is the fact that you expose the lack of independent thought required to test things thoroughly.
A blind follower of science is, to me is just as disgusting as any blind follower of religion.
Maybe some day you will find a more meaningful use for your mind.

Why do people disbelieve the word of God to fit their atheistic philosophy?
And just because something is old, doesnt mean it is untrue, very FAR from it!!!
Science has a built in flaw in that it can never test for God, neither can it disprove him. So one is free to pursue science as well as God. It is only atheistic evolutionists that are trying to convince the world we came from a germ and that Christians are anti-science. You have to be able to think for yourself and get past your biased and the atheistic propaganda.
