"How do you explain the dinosaur bones dating back millions of years? Do you take Adam and Eve literally or figuratively? "

Yes I take Adam and Eve literally.

Science in the Bible

That is one of the funniest links I have ever read.

It takes the poetry of the already-known-to-be-mistranslated King James Bible and says it is "science?"

Case in point (just an example or perhaps an exemplar):

The bible includes reasonably complete descriptions of the hydrologic cycle.[3]

That is no more a description of th hydrological cycle than Ook Grunt would have seen from his Cro Magnon cave.

Id doesn't descrbe (or enen mention) evaporation and how they form into clouds. No mention of Hydrogen/Oxygen, Heat Exchange. It doesn't describe any PROCESS at all. It merely notes clouds happen and rain happens.

The rest of the site is equally hilarious.

But thanks for the laugh. I hope you didn't use these so-called "Biblical science" references for any actual science classes.
