Comment on Creationism to Atheism or Science trumps Biblical Literalism by Bruce Gerencser

Jason,

It is likely that no intelligent conversation about science and evolution is going to happen because you are using the Bible in ways it was never meant to be used. You are ripping verses out of their context, demanding a literal reading of them, and then saying that they prove, however so loosely, that the Bible predicted thousands of years ago certain discoveries modern scientists would make. As long as you think this way, it is impossible to have an intelligent conversation about science or the Bible. I suspect others will feel the same way.

Consider Job 41:19-21:

Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

Using your methodology, these verse predict that some day people would smoke cigarettes. Modern people smoke cigarettes. Bingo! The Bible is true.

Not sure what more I can say here.

Bruce
