Is the Bible Scientifically Accurate?


The short answer is 'no'. The long answer is 'hell no', and this post will explain why.

Some religions claim that proof of the Bible's authenticity is its scientific accuracy which was 'way ahead of its time'. They ramble off now famous examples of 'the Earth is a circle' and 'hanging upon nothing'.

Circle. Circle. Circle. I say it three times and it's still circle. It didn't suddenly become 'sphere'. The Hebrew word in the bible for circle meant circle - a 2D shape or object - NOT as some would argue a 3D sphere. The bible elsewhere mentions the 'four corners of the earth', which, after no consideration at all, is obvious to me that holy intervention hasn't taken place.

The Genesis account has an abundance of flaws in it, such as the plants being created before the sun on which they depend upon to survive. We also have the global flood issue. All scientific claims with no evidence. Other passages in the bible such as Joshua 10:13, talk about the sun and moon standing still.

No, religionists can try to reconcile their beliefs with Science as some Christians do with evolution. It's still not 100% but it's a lot better than, say, Muslims who reject Evolutionary FACT and believe the creation myth in the Qur'an.

This isn't a restaurant menu. It's not a pick and chose happy hour. When something
is true, it is true. You can't chose to believe creation and reject evolution and be intellectually honest. It's not a choice! The Earth travels around the sun. Fact. Evolution - fact. Get that fact into your head, religionists. It's not a 'theory' in the sense you mean it. It. Is. Fact. Get your heads out of your rear end and accept it. Reconcile your beliefs if you have to but please stop with the sheer stupidity of rejecting proven science.
