Not the bible so much as religion itself. The bible is just a tool.
There is a whole INDUSTRY (Christianity) whose BUSINESS it is to create whole generations of adults who are, at once, gullible, irrational, willfully ignorant, self-deluded, intellectually dishonest, droolingly stupid and hypocritical... and willing to tithe 10% for the privledge of having their cognitive dissonance held in check through regular doses of holy bullshit.
Religious 'shepherds' KNOW that their 'flock' (sheeple) are scientifically ignorant and incapable of critical thinking... because they've been PROGRAMMED to be ignorant. They KNOW that they are suspicious of 'scientific' sources , and find them to be intimidating and incomprehensible... because they've been CONDITIONED to distrust them. These puppet-masters KNOW that their flock (victims) will seek their 'knowledge' from 'trusted' sources... these very-same puppet-masters. When the sheeple hear things like 'scientists claim that humans and apes shared a common ancestor, in the distant past', they experience 'cognitive dissonance'... this information is in conflict with the 'truth' that they have believed for their whole lives. So... where do they go to resolve this cognitive dissonance?... Scientists?... NO! They go to their 'trusted' sources... the sources who KNOW that they have been taught WHAT to think... they have not been taught HOW to think. Sources who KNOW that they can lie, obfuscate, misrepresent with impunity... with absolutely NO RISK that their minions will seek out independent, peer-reviewed corroborating information.
They do their jobs very well indeed... as can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xKDKq_PPbk&mode=related&search=
This is a good news/bad news sort of thing. The GOOD news is that these Christian mind-control tecniques... perfected and refined over the past 1,700 years... only work on people who do not have the critical-thinking skills and reasoning power to penetrate the logical fallacies, lies, misrepresentations and deceit upon which this fraud is constructed. The BAD news (and it's REALLY bad news) is that this accounts for 85%+ of the adult population of the USA.

i'm a Christian and that i'd desire to accept as true with you on your hypothesis regarding technology and Evolution. I rather have researched the subject of Evolution myself, and it [Evolution] remains happening to this very day. even although i think that God created Evolution to proceed on the chain of existence, technology does no longer the two, disagree nor agree, that there is a God , because of the fact the evidence isn't there, the two way. i locate that maximum folk believers or non-believers in God, do no longer also have a distant inkling of a clue of what Evolution is approximately. you have coated or summarized the subject count number somewhat nicely besides the undeniable fact that, short. I.D. [clever layout] isn't a real technology, as you have nicely pronounced, helping the statements of many Christian Scientists, who element out, that even although identity would in the beginning up seems to be a possible attitude, it relies upon upon an risky "God of the Gaps" theoretical beginning place. This subject count number, of course, is for yet yet back. nicely accomplished there, Mr. ducky !

I once had an answer that said, quote " If God had said he flooded the world with Cherry Cool Aid, I'd believe it "
This was in response to a question that only touched on the subject of where the waters came or went from, during the great flood.
I think you can decide, what I think.

Yes.
But evolution is now world wide accepted, although there are a few idiots who "don't believe in it." And about the world being flat.....well I'm speechless!

It's because it's so dated. It was written thousands of years ago when life was completely different and people were much less educated, so I guess some people find it difficult to adapt religious teachings into a modern lifestyle?

No, it doesn't. Matter of fact - if we came from monkeys why are there still monkeys? So, evolution just stopped all of a sudden? What's the explanation for that one? The World is not a million years old! And just because some scientist throw out words that we don't understand doesn't mean it's true.
The Bible actually teaches you the opposite of ignorance. And it also tells you in the Bible that evolution will be taught and it came true.

Yes, it does teach ignorance.
Watch these, these videos shed some light in how the bible was compiled and for what purpose.
It will make you understand what is behind religion.

I would say that any one who accepts the fairy tale of evolution is beyond teaching at all.

Have a look at what cindamillion5 wrote. Do you really think you needed to ask?

No the Bible doesn't teach such things, as shown by the millions of devout Christians who fully accept the Bible and have no problem also accepting the plain facts of science. It is ignorant, unauthoritative self-interpretations of the Bible that are the problem. There is no conflict between the Bible, properly interpreted, and truth from any other source. Truth cannot conflict with truth.
