If he studied the Bible thoroughly, he would also believe that the Sun orbits a flat Earth (yes, it is a little difficult to conceptualize).

And you, obviously, have never studied the Bible thoroughly. The concept of the Sun orbiting a flat earth was a total misinterpretation of Scripture, not an accurate understanding of it.

There is nothing in Scripture that disagrees with any scientific fact.......in fact, many scientific discoveries might have been made sooner had the Bible been correctly understood. The problem is that scientific theory is passed off as fact, because of the anti-religious bias of the 'scientists.'

Nah, the Bible never claims the earth is flat.

Daniel 4:7-8, "I saw a tree of great height at the center of the world. It was large and strong, with its top touching the heavens, and it could be seen from the ends of the earth." Explain to me how this is possible on a spherical earth.

Matthew 4:8, "The devil took him (Jesus) to a very high mountain and displayed before him all the kingdoms of the world in their magnificence...." Ditto.

Genesis 1:6-7, "Let there be a dome to divide the water and to keep it in two separate places... and it was done. So God made a dome, and it separated the water under it from the water above it." The author of Genesis 1 doesn't even understand rain!

There is nothing in Scripture that disagrees with any scientific fact.......in fact, many scientific discoveries might have been made sooner had the Bible been correctly understood.

Oh, aside from claiming that bats are birds, for example?
