If we could only learn to teach biology like we teach bibology, those South Koreans better watch out.

I know it's really easy to run around making accusations without backing them up but please waste someone else's time. The Bible never says the earth is flat or any of the other stuff you claim.

I'm guessing you haven't actually read the bible then? Come on, you've got atheists running circles around you in the catagory of bible knowledge. That's not a good sign for your case!

Wow, you don't know anything about either the theory of evolution or your own holy text. That's going to make debate tough. For you own sake, read the stickies in this forum.

There is a possible interpretation that the earth is flat. None that is demanded by the text. So far I haven't seen an atheist run circles around anybody in this thread.

Umm, they butchered animals back then, I'm sure they understood that animals could bleed to death. I'm pretty sure that all civiliaztions understood this. Is this triviality supposed to indicate the bibles amazing grasp of science?

Pretty selective reading you've got there. Try this reading this

They thought it flat and round like a dinner plate.

Doesn't really mention that he's talking about other planets. Was there even a word for planet? I doubt it.

Very very weak, but I understand, this is the best you have.

I don't see anyone telling me where to find this. If used your guys reasoning I could say evoluntionist teach that Adolf Hitler was the most evolved of the human race and that Charles Darwin was one of the first men to evolve from an ape.

Could we stick with the most blatantly false claims of the OP (that is, that there are no transitional fossils and that there's evidence for a Biblical flood)?

Whether the Bible says the earth is round or flat is more of a BH&C topic.

No thats your interpetation. It could be interpeted as either way but the hebrew actually suggest the idea in a more spherical way. That's like me interpeting Charles Darwin and saying well you know he really meant yadda yadda.

This was known by humans the first time they saw someone bleed to death.

So? That's no big deal.... except that the bible writers thought the Earth was the center of the Universe, it was flat, and square. They also thought the stars were fixed on the surface of a dome over the Earth.

Quote:

No, they thought it was flat and square.

Quote:

And what you wrote after that had nothing to do with telescopes.... or reality.[quote]The Bible also mentions that the wind has weight something man didn't always believe.....[quote]We still don't "believe" the wind has weight. Air, or the atmosphere, has weight. The wind doesn't. It has force though, but no weight.

So please feel free to mock.....

We're not mocking you, just your ignorance.

Quote:

The Bible doesn't contain a single error of Science.

You keep believing that if it helps you. The bible is a worthless piece of crap. You'd do better to get rid of it and join us in reality.
