But not everything in the Bible, particularly in the Old Testament, is qualified. You don't think the sun literally rises and sets, because science has made that belief absurd.
But previous generations took it literally. Martin Luther took it literally.
On what basis do you take the word of science on this, over the literal words of the Bible?

References? It can be in German.

your sunrise and sunset argument is not very good seeing that we still use these terms today and we know it is not literally true.
But back to your other question. When science and the Bible conflict, I take the Bible. Science says a man cant rise from the dead. The Bible said it happened. I choose the Bible. It's called faith.
