Bubba, baby, all solutions are biblical, or they are not solutions at all, but merely temporary illusions.


Archaeologists used to spout absurdities by the dozen until the records in Egypt were examined, and found to exactly match the Chronicles of the Israeli kings. Now they're quietly seeking another means of attack. It's always the same, and they never even acknowledge their error, because they are essentially dishonest.

Correcting the record with new discoveries is acknowledging the "error". Science never claims that it has the *final* answer. It only claims to be proceding forward with new knowledge.

I asked for some examples.

That an archaelogical hypothesis turned out false isn't the same as saying 99.5% of all scientific ideas are rejected for Biblical solutions.

Which was right? The Bible or Copernicus? Does a rabbit chew its cud? Does the Earth have four corners, or is it a sphere? If the sun stopped moving for a few hours, would our day be longer?

Those are all scientific mistakes in the Bible. It doesn't detract from the Bible's importance or its message. It reflects the beliefs and knowledge of the people who wrote it. That doesn't mean its message is less valuable.
