What is interesting, however, is that the Bible often makes reference to scientific things. And when it does, it is always accurate.

I can't say the same thing for science textbooks...Difference is authorship.

Just for the fun of it, check out Job 33-41, or one of my favorites, Genesis 1:9-10 and then Google "isostasy"...you mind find it quite interesting.

Really? Let's look at the story of Noah and his ark. Science teaches us about the water cycle. We don't manufacture water and we don't get it from outer spaces. What we have in the oceans and rivers and lakes and under the ground is pretty much what we've got. The water cycle is the process of evaporation and condensation and precipitation and depends on what we've got available. Now Genesis teaches us that it rained for over 40 days and night, raising the level of the oceans thousands of feet until the mountains were covered. Where did that water come from and where did it go? According to science it would be impossible.

Difference is authorship.

And purpose?
