Niflheim: the bible claims that there was evening and morning before the sun and moon were created(false)it claims that the sun stopped moving for josua(false,it does not move in the first place).

Niflheim: @joagbaje,so you are finally admitting that your bible was not inspired by god,but by the understanding of the illiterates at the time right?

lekkie073: this argument will never end....but in my own opinion, science has made d world an easier place to live. what has d bible done? enslave its followers, thou shall not kill.....samson killed, moses killed, david killed. if all of them can be forgiven, then whats d essence of the commandment? how can someone say rain covered the whole earth at a point in time? if it is so, then indians should have a back up storh so also china, aztec empire, to name a few ancient civilizations. if at all such a rain fell, then it probably fell within the limited area known to d writer. that we are all on dis cyber-spectrum is evident of the powers of science....

mkmyers45: Geographically and Logically the Isrealites could never have crossed the Red Sea..1. the cattle (cow,horse,donkey etc) of egypt were already dead..if indeed they did any crossing it was the Sea of Reeds

odehaj: silly,the blacks born in those places hav not become white.

kpolli:

If science was ryt, all apes wud have evolved to man and the evolution cycle won't have stopped with man. . . .

Pukkah:

Does that include the part that says women should be sent to the forest while menstruating? The one that prescribes death for adultery, for gathering sticks on the sabbath and for cheeking your parents?

God is a personal experience and not contained in any single, paint-with-the-same-brush book.

solomon was the wisest man. if at any ooint in time it was expedient for him to walk on water, he would have done so by virtue of his knowledge. come to india and see disciplined hindus suspend themselves in the air....walking on water is minor compared to beating the law of gravity

Heathen: Science obviously wins. It is continually reviewed and updated, this, imho, is why science rules and the bible drools

Niflheim: the bible claims that all the cattle in egypt were killed by hail stones,only for them to miraculously appear again and be killed by hailstones(false)!!!

mkmyers45: Pastor Jo stop lying o..NASA has proven no such thing

lekibraky: Bible doesn't really have scientific knowledge coa it's full of words of man and the accurate ones are the words of God imagine bible science saying ti prevent plague against leprosy we should use blood to sprinkle the house leveticus 12- 1:5 bible science says the world will perish in Hebrew 1-10 the same bible says in Ecclesiastical 78-69 that the world will perish imagine bible telling us we can eat all types of fruits on the trees but can u eat datura wild berry plants and some other poisonous fruits in conclusion the bible is not the words of God alone but man cis the God I know Neva make scientific errors I av many flaws of the bible but which makes me belief it's not the words of God

TerryCarr: it takes thousands of years to change

Bandy10: The bible is the most unreliable,inconsistent book man has ever invented.Can the bible apologist reconcile the story of creation in Genesis 1 and 2 why the differnce in the sequence of creation. The bible tells us that stars are specks in heaven~wrong.The bible says that world is flat~wrong.The bible says that the xtian god created light before the sun~wrong.The bible says that Adam and Eve had two male children how did procreation happen then?The bible says that he created man by moulding clay and gave it breath~wrong.The bible created plant before sunlight~wrong.Can the bible apologolist reconcile the birth of Christ as written in the book of Luke and Mathew.Lastly without science and scientist the world will in darkness where superstitious and dogmatism will reign

Heathen: Two thousand years ago, it was said 'the endtime arriveth soon', two thousand years later, we still await this endtime, two thousand years into the future, we will still be wait for it.

rhymz: THE CONTRADICTORY CREATION ACCOUNTS
Genesis 1:25-27
ANIMALS WERE CREATED BEFORE HUMANS
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image.... So God created man in his own image.
HUMANS WERE CREATED BEFORE ANIMALS
Genesis 2:18-19
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
MAN AND WOMEN WERE SIMULTENEOUSLY CREATED
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
MAN WAS CREATED FIRST, THEN ANIMALS AND FINALLY WOMAN FROM MAN'S RIBS
Genesis 2:18-22
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them.... And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
The bible is a 4cking joke when put under serious scrutiny of logic no wonder it requires its users to leave their brains in the hands of those phoney Pastors Reverends, Bishops, Prophets and co lest you your eyes will be open to jokes of contridictions rife in the bible. The bible is the greatest lie ever sold.

Joagbaje:

That was the understanding of the writer then. And that was what scientist taught in that generation. One the was clear . The sun stood still for a day. It is scientifically proven that a day is missing.

rhymz: The Bible has inconsistent accounts of who created the heavens and the earth. The Old Testament of the Bible is clear that God created everything alone. The New Testament, however, inserts Jesus into the stories and says that God and Jesus created everything together. So which part of the Bible is correct about who was involved with creation: the Old or the New Testament?
THE OLD TESTAMENT
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Isaiah 44:24
Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself.
THE NEW TESTAMENT
John 1:6-10
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
1 Corinthians 8:6
Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom all things are and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and through whom we exist.
This Bible inconsistency is arguably created by differences of theology: the Jews were strict monotheists while Christianity which is Pauline Theology introduced the new idea of a "Trinity," three persons that are also one person. .lol. .i.e
1+1+1=1according to today's Christian theology.
Some Christians try to resolve the inconsistency by saying that references to a single person are consistent with the trinity and so do not contradict later references to two or three persons. The fact remains, though, that the Old Testament never mentions Jesus' involvement in creation and that's rather an important detail to leave out, isn't it?
That's why these Bible verses are inconsistent. Some say that God acted alone when creating the heavens and earth while others say God acted with Jesus to create the heavens and earth. They can't all be right, but they can all be wrong. Is this a legitimate Bible inconsistency or contradiction, or can the various accounts of who created the heavens and the earth be harmonized?
If you think you can resolve this Bible inconsistency, explain how — but your solution cannot add anything new that's not already in the stories and cannot leave out any details that the Bible provides.

hero70: And these signs shall follow them that believe: in my name shall they cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues, they shall take up serpents (snakes), and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them, they shall lay hands upon the sick and they shall recover. (Mark 16:17-18)
this verse is totally unscientific and unlogical there is no any christian or human being who can pass the above test even the pope.

mkmyers45: He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball (Dur) into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house. (Isaiah 22:18)

Delafruita:
i have always suspected that you have poor comprehension skills.now i can confirm that its getting worse.someone claimed that the bible explained the water table long before vitruvius explained it.i decided to show him that the books of job,ecclesiastes and amos weren't written 1600years ago.they were actually written after vetrivius had explained the water table.hence the bible incorporated a phenomenon that had already been explained.how is that derailing the thread?

mkmyers45: Pi is 3.0? * "And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it about. (I Kings 7, 23)"

This would show that a diameter of ten cubits leads to a circumference of thirty cubits, yielding a value of 3.0 for the mathematical unit of Pi -- a value used in calculating everything from how to manufacture your coffee cup, to how to manage the pixels in your monitor, to the physics of the orbits of the satellites that give us the eye on the weather as well as tranfer data, etc. Well, the value is actually a transcendental number that starts 3.14159 . . .

Freksy:

My friend Delafruita, are you sure you really understand the meaning of 30 BC? It's difference from 30th Century BC.

Marcus Vitruvius Pollio was born c. 80–70 BC, died after c. 15 BC. He was a man of 1st Century BC. A man of 2nd Century BC was decades older than him.

Moses wrote the book of Job between 1657 and1473 BC, but you claim it was written in about 5th Century (c. 500 )BC. Remember, 1 Century = 100 years; 5th Century BC = 500 BC

Since Vitruvius explained the water Cycle in about 30 BC, and Moses wrote the book of Job in about 5th Century BC (about 500 BC), according to you. Therefore, Job's explanation of the water Cycle predated Vitruvius's by at least 500 - 30 = 470 years. Remember also that the time Job explained the water Cycle predated the time Moses wrote it. The truth is, Vitruvius did not even exist when Job explained the water cycle.

Below is the actual time the book of Job was written.

Name of Book: Job
Writer: Moses
Place Written: Wilderness
Writing Completed (B.C.E.): c. 1473
Time Covered (B.C.E.): Over 140 years between 1657 and 1473 B.C.E.
