Regardless, it is not true that the biblical texts "have nothing to do with science." They happen to deal with the what, the how, and the why of physical reality. All of these questions are investigated by science.

You missed my point. Science is defined by the methodology not by what it investigates. Science is also very specific in its descriptions and explanations. The Biblical texts are broad, too broad to be anything but simple observations. Science is not 'simple observations'.

The only way you can include Biblical texts in the definition of science is by redefining the term 'science'. Without redefining terms, the Biblical texts have nothing to do with science.

Along with all the other logical errors you make, argument by redefinition just about completes the set.

Fester, you are full of crap. You most likely know it, and you know that we know it. The bible is not science, and no matter how many times you make the claim, it still won't be. That makes no statement as to whether what it says is true or not (which is a different question), but it isn't science.
