Debunking the Myth that Science Disproves the Bible

[MathGeek]

Science was born from man’s desire to acquire knowledge with greater certainty and objectivity than is available from “authoritative” sources and “expert” opinions. Since human opinion is fallible, a method was invented to provide greater objectivity through the testability of ideas ...

I'm not sure what you are getting at. You do realize there is a difference between the Bible and the Koran, right?

Sorry, sometimes I get my cults mixed up.

Ha! that was a good read, thanks MG. I will have to read it again to fully absorb it.

If you sum the written truths of science that have been disproved by new scientific discoveries you could fill the library of congress.

So how true is it really?

The article in the link proves the above pic false.

You could say the same with all of the bibles and religious writing from all religions around the world. And they all believe theirs to be the truest.

So how is yours the truest?

That's the beauty of Science, as new information is discovered, often due to technological advances, a new understanding of nature is found that replaces what was previously thought to be true. Think of how the Germ Theory of Disease by Pasteur replaced what was thought to be true beforehand. Now that particular theory is now accepted as truth as it has been tested over and over again. But that theory could be changed if new information is gained.

Think about Pasteur's experiment that disproved the theory of spontaneous generation and showed that life does not come from non-life and how experimental proof would be required to refute his findings.

It's funny how when I was in school they taught us that heat rises. I debated my science teacher on that one asking him why ice floats if heat rises. He didn't answer me

It's all about density. Hot air is less dense than cold air, so hot air rises above cold air. Ice and water are not quite the same as hot and cold air, but it still relies on density.

Ill stick with Science... Yall have fun!

[wishin i was fishin]

You say all bibles, I say all but the Holy Bible written by the one true God. God that all other gods are compared to.

Just because other religions may be wrong, doesnt mean they are all wrong.

They have all be rewritten to fit man for 100s of years!

I'm amused by people who try to use science to disprove the Bible and those who try to use the Bible to disprove science. Both are ignorant as far as I'm concerned.

The sphere of science is the laws of nature (the natural world) as determined my repeatable experiment. When limited to its proper sphere and executed properly, it is very good at testing hypotheses and eliminating errors.

The sphere of the Bible is things of the spirit and how the supernatural interacts with the natural. This is a sphere about which science is incapable of speaking. People of faith who are knowledgeable about science usually only doubt science when it reaches beyond its sphere of the natural world and begins to make claims about things that belong to the sphere of the Bible.

The point of the linked article is to articulate more clearly how people are pushing science beyond its appropriate sphere when they claim that its conclusions somehow contradict the Bible.
