What scientific "fact"?

Question

....that you know of, has contraverted anything that is written in the Bible?

Answer 1

nothing really

if you're questioning as to why the religious communities always seem to take offense to the point of attack to the scientific community I'd agree with you

there's really not much difference between the queries posed in science and the queries of the nature of God

ya gotta remember though that the people who wrote the Bible knew little of astronomy and science - but had divinely inspired profundities nonetheless

Answer 2

It is a surprise to many, but the Bible does NOT teach that the world is 6,000 years old and created in 6 literal 24 hour days....It teaches that the world is round and a sphere.

It is not a book of science but in all aspects it is scientific.

Yes there are many miracles which are mentioned in the Bible, even resurrection of the dead, but those miracles are performed by the same force and energy which created the earth....how many of you can explain how that works???

In fact there are many things that are common to mankind today that mankind could not explain even 100 years ago....like PCs and fax machines, and atomic bombs and the like.

Just because stupid people cannot explain how the red sea can be parted or how one angel can kill 185,000 soildiers in one night, or how a person can be raised from the dead does not mean that it did not happen just the way the Bible says it did.

Answer 3

Well if we start from the beginning, the Bible claims that everything was created in more or less its current form about 6 000 years ago over a period of six days.
The facts are that the universe is more than 13 000 000 000 years old, Earth is more than 4 500 000 000 years old, every modern organism is the result of evolution by natural selection, and the formation of Earth, the universe and modern organisms each took far, far longer than six days.

Eds: Of course carbon dating proves nothing about the age of the Earth. That's entirely irrelevant though, since scientists do not use carbon dating to determine the age of the Earth.
Oh, and carbon dating is actually quite accurate up to at least 30 000 years. You might want to be a little more critical of whichever creationist propaganda website told you 700.

Answer 4

Reading through the answers I see and realize how confused and mislead man actually is.

For one, does not state earth is 2, 6 or even 10,000 yrs old. States it was created in 6 days and a day with G_D is as a 1000 years. But most take that as physical creation of all we see due to one simple misleading word.

Beginning of Genisis does not start " In the beginning... ", it starts as, as Hebrew dictates, " In a beginning...". This simple "the" to "a" is a huge change that re-defines many items and thoughts.

For one, we are on a cycle, and as we reach each cycles end point a major item happens. Noah's flood, loss of Mayan's, loss of other civilizations, etc. And we just happen to be at the same cycle point once again, what most call 2012. This "In a beginning" shows that the bible is for his cycle that we are currently on and is explaining that fact to us.

When we dig into the earth and find things millions of years old or just thousands, sure, its real. But that is civilizations from other cycles, not a steady time line like we all think. That is why we see major changes in man over time and show what we deem as missing links. Each cycle wiped out 90% of the population and the survivors had to adapt to survive. These changes, fast changes in the skeletons of man is how we "evolved".

There are over 400 versions of the bible, and yes these will show errors between them as they are redone by man, in multiple languages, over generations, etc.

Just look at the simple fact of America. We started out using Olde English then created our modern form of English and now we have a e-bonics form of English that is even changing more so due to text messages. So if one can't look at how much just English has changed in American in a few hundred years and then understand how much other languages change over time as well. Well, small world they live in then.

To get past all this info mis-direction, one just has to go back to the original scrolls and text for the truth of what is what. No different than a circle of people and the first person started off a story and it went around the group. By the time it gets to the end its no where near the true story that started. We must go back to the original to seek the truth.

Plus many make the mistake of listening to men, preachers, etc where the bible is clear to follow no man, to listen to the book only. If more just picked up the book and actually read it, and not with another trying to tell them what it means, then many more will start to understand the true message. For the true message is not what is preached in churches.

Even churches are spoken against, for G_D does not reside in a building nor temple made by hands nor need anything from our hands, meaning money. Even Yahushua flipped the money table in a church out of anger.

Answer 5

lol... the earth is much older than the bible says honey.

And guess what... unicorns and giants don't exist. Burning bushes can't talk. Snakes and donkeys can't talk. People don't live to 900 years old. Sticks don't turn into snakes. I can keep going but you get the point.

You want to know what facts contradict the bible? Well, do you believe in unicorns? You don't even need science to know unicorns don't exist, all you need is a brain.

Answer 6

Are you kidding? Where to start . . .

Okay, I'll start at the beginning. And God said "Let there be light." There wasn't any light in the dark cosmic egg of our expanding universe until photons were allowed to travel freely once hydrogen nuclei slowed down enough to capture electrons. After that photons (light) were free to travel out of the dark cosmic egg. How long after the beginning of the universe was that? According to high energy physics, the universe was dark for about 380,000 years ATB (after the bang). It just goes downhill from there. Suffice it to say that physicists can explain the formation of the early universe back to the first split second of time. To be precise, back to 10 ^ -35th of a second (the Planck "era") (Who said scientists don't have a sense of humor). That "era" is referred to as the photon de-coupling time. Once light was free to travel, it radiated in all directions, and about 30 years ago, the echoes from that first light were detected by microwave dishes on earth, referred to as the cosmic microwave background radiation. Through the expansion of the universe, those wavelengths of light have been stretched to the microwave spectrum. But I'm sure that the dark age flat earthers that composed the Bible have much more to say on the subject. Their computers were not quite as fast as the ones you're using now, but they sure could operate an abacus.

Oh gee, I'm getting thumbs down from the fundies that lurk here and in just about every category on this website. I'm sure you must be swayed by these closed minded geniuses. The bright side is that in 100 years they will be marginalized along with the voodoo that they do so well. Happy ignorance.

Answer 7

Uhm, well, it is not true that the Earth was created in 7 days 6,000 years ago.

It's a scientific fact people don't walk on water.

There's no evidence the laws of physics have changed in the last 4,000 years, so there is no reason to believe the Red Sea was parted and Jesus turned water into wine.

Answer 8

Well, let's start at the beginning. The creation tale coincides with the facts of creation only by coincidence. The Adam and Eve tale is fiction, as we know from genetic evidence. The great flood can be seen to be fiction by anyone with a shovel and the ability to count: the annual layers of Antarctic ice go back hundreds of thousands of years. (A flood would have destroyed them.) People cannot live to be older than about 130 years. The sun cannot stop in the sky. There are hundreds of other errors, as well as scores of internal contradictions; for much more of this, see:

Answer 9

Acctually evolution is not science- it is a belief according to all definitions because all of the supposed missing link that have been found have been proved to be animals and normal people. One of the "prhistoric men" was all supposed out of a PIG'S TOOTH for goodness sake! So since evolution does not have fact it is a belief and there fore not science, the Bible is not science it is also a belief (personally I find it easier to belive I was created by something than evolved over millions of years out of a pot of goop.). The Bible has nothing to contradict science. In fact, many of the things in the Bible we later found out for ourselves to be true- like when Jesus was killed and they peirced His side it says blood and water flowed out. We later discovered that the blood does separate from the water after a person dies. The Bible states that the earth is round when it refers to it as a sphere, but it took people years of believeing the earth was flat before someone tested and found that the Bible was right. There are many other scientific facts that were later tested and proved to be right that were all in the Bible from the start. Remember not to call things science for which there is no evidence. We know the Bible's not science, it's a faith. Now if only evolutionists would addmit that evolution is not a science but a faith.

Answer 10

I'm a cristian, so I obviously believe the bible to hold truth. Growing up, I really had no family, and was an outcast in the city I lived in. One day, I was at an orphanarium, when a Cristian couple came in as I was sitting in a corner. Out of the 300 kids there, they picked me. Why? I asked them time and again why they chose me over the others, and you know what they told me? They said that God said I was in need of a loving family and I was. I've read through the entire bible, and it all does make sense, why we're here and that each one of us has a purpose. Most people don't believe because they here all these people talking about scientific theories and whatnot, but I urge all of you to join your local church, and become born again.
