But if it did only teach creation and he wanted to study biology or science, then I'd caution him against it, because it chooses to ignore physical facts and hard-core science in the name of blind faith.

Not *blind faith*. Using one's mind, one can read Scripture and see stated in there the facts about the world around us that *science* keeps discovering and acts as if they are discovering something new and special, that nobody ever thought of before.

That's simply not true.

Science keeps coming to the same conclusions that have been stated in Scripture for thousands of years but scientists only think they've uncovered something new because they don't think that the Bible has anything worthwhile to say about all subjects so they don't look in there for guidance. Instead, they waste all kinds of time chasing their tails. Then they act like the conclusions they arrived at that match Scripture have more validity because it can be demonstrated using science instead of being true because it says so in Scripture. As if knowing about something because of God telling us something He did, is somehow inferior to learning about it ourselves.

You know, I’ve read the Bible many, MANY times and I’ve never seen a description of osmosis or cell division. Never once seen Ohm’s Law or either of the Kirchoff’s Laws. Never once saw Newton’s laws laid out. Never mind Maxwell’s equations or the periodic table!

Seems that the Bible really isn’t concerned with science too much, as these are pretty basic scientific facts required for modern life to function. Seems that science doesn’t need the Bible to discern, understand, and utilize these fundamental physical facts.

Maybe the Bible isn’t concerned with these scientific fundamentals because the Bible isn’t a science book?
