What a lot of people don't understand, or refuse to believe, is that God is bigger than science. Furthermore, Christians don't need scientific proof to know that He exists because we live by faith.
"We live by faith, not by sight."

Here is Ur "Science", Enjoy!!! John
DOCTRINE OF SCIENTIFIC LAWS AND THE UNIVERSE
A. The continuation of the universe and all of its creatures and the stable
state of the atmosphere depends on the omnipotence and immutability of Jesus
Christ, Col 1:17; Heb 1:3.
B. Scientific laws are a misnomer. Scientific laws, as such, do not exist,
because science did not develop them, nor does science enforce them.
Science cannot guarantee that NaCl will be NaCl tomorrow. But God promises
that gravity will still operate.
C. These so-called scientific laws are based on the statistical assumption
that the universe, which operates according to a fixed norm, will continue
to do so. Science can observe and apply, but the speculation of science is
what is often in conflict with the Bible. Science can observe certain laws,
but cannot guarantee their continuance.
D. The universe with its matter, energy, and operating laws of God will not
always exist as it does at the present time, 2 Pet 3:10-12; Rev 20:11.
Interpretive classification is great in science, but the problem is
philosophical speculation.
E. Known scientific laws and phenomena, which man has been able to observe,
classify, recognize and interpret, depend entirely upon the faithfulness of
God. Every discovery of the pattern of the universe is a treatise on the
faithfulness of Jesus Christ, who at the present time is guaranteeing the
function of every bonified scientific law, Col 1:17; Heb 13:8.
F. By the word of His power, Jesus Christ holds the universe together, Heb
1:3.
G. Why is Christ holding the universe together?
1. Christ is holding the universe together to resolve the angelic
conflict in human history and to bring many sons into glory, Heb 2:10.
2. The Lord Jesus Christ is holding the universe together in order to
allow grace, which began with the Holy Spirit radiating heat over the ice
pack Gen 1:2), to run its full course until He destroys the universe by
nuclear fission at the end of history, 2 Pet 10-12.
3. Man has been able to categorize and classify so that he can apply
and utilize these laws.
4. Occasionally these laws have been overruled by the sovereignty of
God. For example, the day the sun stood still for Joshua in battle,
Josh 10:12-14.
5. The word of God will survive the destruction of the universe, as
will the believer in resurrection body, Heb 12:26-28.
H. Conclusion. Scientific laws are simply the faithfulness of Jesus Christ
holding the universe together and at the same time holding back eternity, so
that the human race will have the opportunity to appropriate the grace of
God, and so that ultimately God will be glorified forever.

Dear Sir,
You may want to do some more studying, try to get the real facts not a bias scientist's opinion. If you are reading from the quran, you will see that it states that Jesus was a prophet....if you then believe the quran to be true, based on that statement, reading the qualifications of a prophet, is that they can not lie...based on that fact, Jesus said in John 14:6 " I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." If you believe the quran that Jesus is a prophet, you must also then believe the true teachings of his ministry in the Bible.

Because when the Bible was written, science wasn't invented yet. Things science says will one day be contradicted too. The Bible is a book for the spirit, not a textbook and that's why it is still relevant over thousands of years.

The bible is an ancient text which includes books of history, doctrine, poetry and poetically written prophecy, contains a lot of metaphors and examples It also contains the writings of philosophers, especially King Solomon. But the meat of it contains the instructions of God to Man through his Holy Prophets, Apostles, and carefully preserved words and actions of the Lord Himself. There is no indication that it was meant to be a science textbook. God revealed through the Prophet Moses that He created the Earth. He said THAT he did it, not HOW He did it, except that He spoke it into being.
The bible has historical facts many of which have been corroborated through archeology and 3rd party sources. But in general it is a book of faith and religion. You do not prove information of faith through the scientific method. It is like comparing apples to oranges. You prove information of faith through the Testimony of Witnesses, as is done in the courts of law.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
The books of the bible were written over a period of over 1600 years, and underwent hundreds of careful hand-copying and translations from one language to another. Several different collections of these texts were made, books were added, others were removed, until the most spiritual and dedicated men in the Church made that final canonization who lived by the Holy Spirit, not science or politics. And this was carefully done by God-inspired dedicated men who wanted to preserve the word of God, not scientists. Nobody was trying to provide a science book!

It's a sin. There was a book that I read about a woman that actually visited the actual hell. God took her there. He took her there so she could write about it and tell people that it actually exists and people do go there when they choose to live in sin. I'm sorry to say, but in the book it said that bisexuals and homosexuals were there too. As christians, no we're not supposed to judge. That is up to God. We are supposed to love everyone. We all sin.. So I understand. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way.. but when you asked God, did you really want to change? did you ask him from your heart? Or is there a part of you that still wanted to be bi? You have to actually want to change for God to change you. And God will give you the strength if you ask Him to help you. God bless. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. - 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

For the umpty-bajillionth time....
The Bible is NOT, repeat NOT, NOT, NOT a science textbook. It is a theological treatise about the existence of God and the relationship we should have with Him. PERIOD! THE END!
NOT geology, NOT biology, NOT Evolutionary theory, NOT Astronomy, NOT Chemistry, NOT Physics.
The closest it ever gets to science are the sanitary laws for nomadic encampments intended to guard physical health and the dietary laws for a people without the properly safe means to preserve flesh food and prevent food-bourne diseases.
NOT science!
NOT!
NOT!
NOT!

What contradictions are you talking about? The Bible does not contradict anything, especially itself. If science doesn't add up to what the Bible says, then science must be wrong!
No thanks. I want nothing to do with the quran. I believe what I believe.

It's easier to answer your questions when you give examples. But I personally prefer to use science hand in hand with Christianity. I like to believe that science is the answer to how, not why.

Science and the Bible should always be in parallel. When they aren't, it's always science and not the Bible, that comes back into parallel.
