You're cherry picking the Bible?!

Fail. Hard.

Gen 1:1 In the beginning.....

There was a beginning supported by the Big Bang Theory and Einstein’s equations and Hubble’s observations.

The full quote is:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

It makes no mention of a Big Bang, E=mc2 or anything else relating to science.

Gen 1:2 The earth was formless and void,...

Supported by the solar nebula theory and the proto earth.

The full quote is:

The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters

So, did God create the earth or was it 'formless and void'? How can there be a 'surface of waters' if it is 'formless'?

Sigh. You're trying, hard, to make your religion fit the science.

It's a creation story. Every religion before and after has one.

Posting only the relevant passages is cherry picking? What do you want, that I post the whole thing?

You can’t get away from the fact that time and again, scientists who just love to reject Scripture keep coming to the same conclusions that the Bible stated thousands of years before.

At one time the steady state theory was preeminent in science. The only people who believed that the universe had a beginning were those religious Bible believers.

Einstein’s equations showed that the universe indeed did have a beginning, much to his chagrin; to the point where he inserted a *cosmological constant* to make his equations fit the theory instead of adjusting the steady state theory to fit the data. Not incredibly objective of him, now was it?

He finally had to admit that he was wrong when Hubble’s observations and work with red-shift showed that Einstein’s equations were correct after all, and the the universe did have a beginning.

So what if the Bible doesn’t mention E=mc2? How is that relevant to the fact that the Bible states that the universe and the earth had a beginning and it was right when the scientists were wrong?
