Answer 1

GOD does not change but science does Amen!

Answer 2

The Bible has changed, though. It's been edited over time. King James is notorious for it.

The semantics of science books change because we're constantly discovering something new. You're trying to debunk and belittle science, yet, you use it every day. How do you justify that?

My friend, Atheists don't worship anything. They trust more in fact than they do theism. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

And ... why can't they pick apart the Bible? Christians do all the the time. They pick and choose what part of the Bible to believe in, but they justify it by saying something along the lines of "But God doesn't work that way anymore. It's old testament it doesn't apply" HAH! Like you would know how a Higher Power works.

Get over yourself.

Answer 3

Actually, science is always changing because new things are always being discovered, while other things are disproved, that is the way research goes.

Nothing in the world stays constant, not even your Bible. It has been translated, edited and changed since it was created.

Why would anybody worship a science book? Worship is for sheep. Atheists usually only got that way after many years of thought and soul-searching.

I'd be surprised if you knew the difference between fact and theory. Your predictions are flawed.

Answer 4

Science come from the Latin Scientia, meaning knowledge. So you could say science is everything that is known, rather than everything that can be known. Although I would rather say everything that we think we know, because it's really just people's interpretation of evidence. As the amount of evidence grows, or the existing evidence is seen with fresh eyes, so people's understanding of the universe will change. The true scientists will only ever talk about this theory or that theory. They should not be confused with academics working in the sciences, who rely on grants to survive. They will be more likely to cling to their outdated theories like a pitbull terrier clings to a postal worker.
Incidentally, the Bible doesn't stay the same either. It is constantly being reinterpreted to keep up with the evolving language. If you don't believe me, grab hold of the oldest available texts, learn the language they are written in, and compare it to contempory versions. You might be surprised.

Answer 5

Oh right, because diseases are still caused by sins/demons. And the earth is flat. Etc. Yes, the bible changes. Are you reading the original text? Doubt it. Translations after translations change the meanings. Worship science books? Don't think so. If we worshiped science books, why would challenge previous theories and have them changed? Separating fact from theory? Do you even know what a scientific theory is? Doubt it. So your question is flawed, you can't spell, and grammar doesn't exist to you. Want an intelligent answer? Ask an intelligent question.

Answer 6

Actually... even though I'm not an atheist, I have to disagree with your statement.
Take a fairytale, for instance. It's fiction (not true) and yet even though it's been passed down through centuries and re-written / translated so many different times, you can trace it all back to the earliest source. Same with the Bible. So of course it won't change unless the storyteller is changing it.

Science, is all about finding facts. And it changes, or rather, adapting, because so do we. Our biological growth changes, the stars, sun, moons change, new species are being found... so Science wants to keep on top of these and so their research finds new things every day. It's just trying to find answers.

Answer 7

Um... Perhaps it's because more evidence and information is found daily, and science is actually AFFECTED by these new bits of information, unlike the Bible? If information about the natural world is added to or changed, then obviously science does, too, since it is the study of the natural world/law.

Honestly, I'd think that keeping something the same for hundreds of years on end would be worse than something that changes. Going by your logic, we should still believe that the sun orbits the earth, no matter what evidence says. Would you rather believe in something that is proven with the current evidence found or something that ignores all evidence that might disprove its tenets? Personally, I'd follow the first.

Answer 8

You are quite confused. Science keeps changing because we keep learning. Newton's laws of motion went unchallenged for 300 years before the Michelson-Morley experiment showed that they were flawed; Lorentz developed the math to fix them, and Einstein put all of this together in the Special Theory of Relativity to give a coherent picture of the newly understood reality. The fact that religion does not change, even as more and more errors are discovered in it, is its greatest weakness: it becomes increasingly irrelevant. The notion that science books don't separate fact from theory is silly; the theories are constructed to explain the facts, and are validated when other facts predicted by the theories are discovered. Such is the case with all of the great theories today. For technical reasons, it is in general not possible to prove that a scientific theory is correct, even when the evidence in favor of it is clear. Evolution is an exception; it is possible to prove that Darwin's theory is correct, and I have done so. (Details on request.)

Answer 9

science changes as more evidence is discovered, in an attmempt to discover the actual truth of HOW things work. the bible is dogmatic.

atheists don't worship science books
science books do separate fact from theory, in fact they have a specific definition of it. and they call it a theory because they ARE OPEN to new evidence.

the only way i beleive anything in the bible is if it's taken as a book of parables.
i addressed every point in your ill-thought out question.

Answer 10

Think carefully before you talk.
Science do change, yes because it finds new additions that proves their findings or disproves it when new reliable source is more acceptable to be true. The Old findings were based on what are available tools and instruments they used at the time. With modern technology, they made it more precise and with more factual evidences.
The Bible may not change His words but its truth oftentimes have been changed to many different ways. Early offenses were made punishable by death through stoning. Now it is never seen being done. Muslims this days use hanging, sword or (musketry for women). Western use the electric chair and/or the lethal injection.
The Old Testament stood for Tooth for a tooth and eye for eye. The New Testament advocates loving your enemy or forgiveness and mercy.
The Old Testament says there is only One God, No One besides Him, No One before Him and No One after Him.
The New Testament says Jesus is the Son of God in it's early tradition; now they are making Jesus as God Himself and most the time it is always in Jesus' name that a request is made.
The Old Testament will put to death anyone who blasphemes God, who commits heinous crime, adultery, who commits murder etc.
The modern believers use "thou shall not kill" to hardened criminals sentenced to death.
Predictions: There will be more victims who will die brutally in the hands of heinous criminals than offenders who are freed by using the words."thou shall not kill" in the Bible to protect them and allow them to roam free.
Giving the other side of the face to be slapped shall make more proud people to take advantage of the humble and poor.
The word blasphemy will just be a word without punishment as everything about it will just be for God to decide.
Prostitutions will be a profession justified by economic needs and confessions with penalty to pray the rosary for the Catholics will be the only punishment while other Christians may even be the best Minister after finding the light so they say. They will even be more charismatic if they openly tell their story on how they were changed.

Answer 11

Science keeps making new discoveries and adding to the sum total of knowledge.

That's why science keeps changing. Because of an increase in knowledge and a committed effort to add to that increase. People all over the world are working very hard to increase the amount of knowledge available, and fit it into the knowledge we already have. Each new piece of knowledge is welcomed to the whole family of learned fact.

And the Bible doesn't change.

Why?
