The Bible: Not Scientifically Accurate
If the Bible is scientifically accurate on all points, and is the one and only truth of how the universe was created,
Why doesn't it mention DNA, if it is the truth? Surely if it were scientific fact the ancient people would've understood it as well? |

Who says the Bible is scientifically accurate? Or precise?

Playing devil's advocate here, I would ask why would God feel a need to include DNA or any other science knowledge in a book meant to guide peoples spiritual lives.
More to the point, although the bible is not a science textbook, it DOES try to answer questions about nature that science has sought to answer. These often disagree to varying extents. We could ask: Considering the author of the bible is all-knowing, then when the bible explains phenomenon in nature why is it often wrong? |

But I thought it was scientifically accurate on all points. *sarcasm*
