The Holy Bible is the bible was the BEST science book, the Best psychology book, the BEST history book and the BEST guide for morality EVER WRITTEN — because the author is ALMIGHTY GOD!

[Buggman]

It's not a science book, though it does indeed contain predictions that we can now test. To wit: The Bible says almost a dozen times that God stretches out the heavens. The same evidence the proves Big Bang cosmology proves the Bible's prediction. However, the Bible does not contain the necessary equations to predict the exact rate of expansion, because it was written to and by a pre-scientific society.

I will also tell you candidly that the more one learns the Hebrew and the original context of Genesis 1-11, the less one is worried that an old universe contradicts the Bible. The Hebrew words for "day," "evening," and "morning," for example, have broader meanings and different connotations than one would expect from the English translation. Moreover, by the time we get to the end of verse 1, the earth already exists in some form, so there's no problem with the universe being around for billions of years before that.

Shalom

I’ve found fossils. They’re real, they exist here and now.
Yet, the Bible does not address these remains of Trilobites & T-Rex.
Science is the study of what is & why.
Maybe God didn’t write the Bible as a science book.
