I think this quote from the website sums it up quite nicely: "If you are a physics enthusiast, please ignore our omission of mass, gravity, and density." OK. If we omit basic physics, maybe the Bible really will turn out to be amazingly scientific.

LOL!!! I really enjoyed that site.

I've found remarkably similar Islamic evangelism from River in this post; he makes claims like:

3)The Qur'an states that all living things are composed of water

7)The Qur'an states that Iron has an extra-terrestrial origin

10)The Qur'an states that there are a multitude of Universes and Earths

13)The Qur'an states that many Stars and planets ceased to exist and the Sun will oneday become extinct

And many apologists look at passages and say, "Hmmm, how can we make this biblical passage compatable with modern cosmology?" instead of "Hmmm, what did the ancient Hebrews most likely believe about the universe?" Sometimes a pillar of the earth is just a pillar of the earth.
