Have you ever got in your inbox a story (that, by the way, is IMPOSSIBLE to verify if it contains some truth in it) about some NASA scientists were checking positions for the sun and the moon for the next 1000 years? And then the computer they were working with stopped and gave a warning signal. A day was missing according to the calculations!
Then one from the crew "providentialy remembers" a passage from the Book of Joshua (Joshua 10:13, http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=6&chapter=10&version=31 ). The conclusion: The Bible thus demonstrates to all non-believers they are wrong because science is "CONFIRMING" what the Bible says.

And with all this, they tells us that the Bible is almost a scientific book.

Why would an intelligent person use this to "promote" their believes?

Someone gets an e-mail, says "Dang! That's neat!" and forwards it to their 100 bestest online buddies, and before you know it, it's all over the Internet...why some people believe everything they read on the Net is a mystery to me, but here we are.

Just for laughs, check out the "Bill Nye visits Waco" urban legend that had some fundamentalists up in arms this summer.

As far as I know, there is some truth in the Bible but it's very well hidden. I wouldn't go that far by saying it's scientific book. As to who would invent such stories I think all know what kind of people would do that and for which purposes.

peace be upon you
The Holy Book is the book of the God.
The God is the creator of humans and the world.
No body know better than the creator.
The Bible is exposed to modification by humans ,so it didn't become the Bible of the God but Quran is the last holy book and the science confirm it day by day with more development of science.

BECAUSE it doesn't take intelligence to be fanatic enough to trust in the words of the uneducated of which much of Jewish, Christian and Muslims religion bases their faith. You have to give them credit though for being good writers, but that's ALL they were. Look to date at their ACHIEVEMENTS and let THAT be YOUR bases for TRUTH. In all these past centuries they have accomplished NOTHING in the world except to confuse it with alot of FACTS they state which can not in most part be proven as REALITY. The religion of the ancient Hebrews, even their own scholars will admit was LITERATURE meant to novitiate their peoples.
