Is the Bible unscientific?

Question

help me pls i need 7 sentences......

Answer 1

Not for the time it was written, but by today's standards yes it is not scientific. There is not one bit of truth in the bible. It is all fabricated information to control the masses! If you believe any of it you have been successfully brainwashed. I would guess over 80% of scientists do not believe in God. It is almost humourous reading material in my opinion. Last but not least none of it can be proven to have happened, you just have to take the word of the people who wrote it as truth, which any reasonable logical person that wasn't brainwashed would give no weight to the words. If you were looking for something positive about it in your question you should have specified and I would not have written this. If my words offend you sorry that's the way the cookie crumbles. It is at least 7 sentences on the subject that you requested.

Answer 2

It is basically a series of anecdotal short stories from another time and place. Therefore, as such, like the "Epic of Gilgamesh" and Homer's "Oddessy" and "Iliad", it gives us a good look at ancient history and cultural anthropology - both of which could qualify as branches of science. (Do you consider the Epic of Gilgamesh or Homer's accounts of the Trojan War to be scientific or unscientific?)

And, like those other ancient writings, of course, the events it describes are colored by the religious philosophy of its author(s). In Homer's works, when a ship sank, it was attributed to the anger of Poseiden, the sea god, and when a battle was won, it was because the goddess, Athena, smiled upon the commander.
The same with the significant events in Gilgamesh - only the names of the deities were different, of course.

It would have some anthropological value, though, I would think, as a written account of one of only two monotheistic religions known to exist in the ancient middle east area.

However, there is a subtle reference in Moses' 10 commandments to the idea that the ancient Hebrews may not have been entirely monotheistic.
The first commandment (I think it is the first, anyway) says:
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
It is actually what it DOESN'T say that is more interesting.
It does NOT say: "Thou shalt have no other gods - PERIOD."
it says, "Thou shalt have no other gods BEFORE ME."
This almost looks like it is saying, in effect, "Have as many gods as you like, but just make sure you keep ME at the top of the list."
There is no mention of any other deities in those old scriptures, however, unless you interpret the different names they used for their god as referring to different individual deities rather than different names for one.

But then, who's to say what may or may not have been edited out over the centuries and millenia since the original writings.

Answer 3

The Bible is a book of prophesies and history. It is a guide for our lives. Many of the stories in the Bible have been proven to be accurate scientifically and with the help of anthropologists.

Answer 4

The Bible was never written to be a science book. It is a History and book of faith and wisdom.
