Bump
In everything from the Snopes Monkey trial to polite cocktail party conversation it has become fashionable to ridicule the Bible as something best believed by uneducated, unsophisticated dupes, especially in the Elite Media.
This ridicule has been a big driving factor in the steep, rapid decline in all of the Christian faiths.
The “scientific basis” for the rejection of Judeo/Chrisitan beliefs has always been tenuous at best and based on very crude and incomplete scientific knowledge available at the time. This crude and incomplete science was then blown way out of proportion by a media looking for any factoid to discredit Christianity.
However, our Science has improved exponentially in the last 10-20 years in areas critical to understanding the scientific foundation of what has been written. This improved science has almost always tended to confirm what is written in the Bible as scientific and historical fact.
However, the damage has been done and the new evidence either does not get publicity it deserves or it falls on the deaf ears of people who already have been conditioned and taught to believe that science disproves the existence of God and what has been written in the Bible, which is the great tragedy of our times.
