Oh, the bible really teaches us so much about science?

Yes, but obviously you haven't read too much since you didn't know.

Where does it talk about all the planets and the moons? Plate tectonics? How to make medicine? Trigonometry? Fluid dynamics and modelling? Meterology? Metallurgy? Biology, DNA, xray technology, aeronautics, weather forecasting, electronics, gravity, etc.

Some of that is in there, you'd find it if you read it yourself. So,.. what? Isn't the Bible long enough for you? You think more should have been added to make it a more commplete science text? Why? And what if it was more complete? If it disagreed with the current state of scientific knowledge, scientists would STILL say it's wrong when it could very well be the science that's wrong. It's happened before you know. That's why science constantly changes as new data comes in; because the stuff before was wrong. So how can you use something that's wrong to disprove something else? That doesn't work.

I want you to completely and totally live literally from the bible and abandon all science that is not expressly explained in detail within. Electronics and the internet aren't in the bible, so you should just sign off now.

ROTFLMBO!!! And just who are you to make demands to others about how they should live? Why does it have to be according to your interpretation? Show me some verses that indicate that the Bible must be taken literally in all circumstances. Show me some verses that say we are not to avail ourselves of current technology for use in our everyday lives. Where is this wrong? Show me some verses that we are not to do anything not mentioned in the Bible. Why should your arbitrary non-Biblical standards be adhered to?

If you listened to him you would be forced to abandon much of what was contemporary back then like math engineering and navigation.

Thats whats odd here, they seem to want to separate things and declare that science (meaning they) 'owns' math and such because 'its science' which is false of course, because you had math engineering astronomy agriculture navigation etc., before the evolutionists were around to proclaim discovery and that science had ownership of .

I guess we should be thankful though that they 'invented gravity' for us, otherwise everything would have flown apart by now LOL

Its not in there, the bible is not a scientific textbook.

Go ahead, go to a university with a bible and ask to be a professor teaching an accredited course in electronics or mathematics using just the bible.

Its a book of stories, written for illiterate people, using stories and metaphors, not a book to teach someone how to interpret the world around them and unlock the mysteries of the world.

Your hypocrisy is only equaled by your willful ignorance.
