Numerous scientific theories have proven assertions from the Bible wrong. Contrary to what many Christians today say, the Bible actually does infer (strongly so) that the Earth is fixed and immobile whilst the sun revolves around the Earth, in direct contradiction to the scientific theory of heliocentrism. 1 Chronicles 16:30 (King James Version) [quote]Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.[/quote] Ecclesiastes 1:5 (King James Version) [quote]The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.[/quote] Also worth notice is the fact that with every iteration of the Bible many verses seem completely changed. 1 Chronicles 16:30 (NIV) [quote]Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.[/quote] Ecclesiastes 1:5 (NIV) [quote]The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises.[/quote] These are just two of the more "recent" Bible translations. For all you know the modern Bible has distorted every word that the original Bible contained. And I think the Bible's view on the origin of species is self-explanatory and outrageously in contradiction to the theory of evolution. The entire book of Genesis is laden with mythical assertions of the origin of species and the Earth, as is many other books of the Bible. There is no way that someone truly rational, modern, and intelligent can believe in the Bible, especially the Old Testament (but also the New), considering its many antiquated, patriarchal, misogynistic (Eve derives from Adam's limb automatically infers inferiority on the basis of chronology), ethnocentric (the Jews are God's chosen people), racist (all Philistines are inherently evil), and homophobic attitudes to society, as well as its complete disregard and oftentimes contradiction to established scientific facts. This is not even taking into account of all the Bible's internal contradictions, and there are many of those as well, where one part of the Bible says one thing but another part says another (ex. in the book of James it says that faith alone is not enough for salvation, whereas in many other parts of the New Testament it is said that faith alone saves). You can try to argue that all the parts you don't like are simply non-literal metaphors, but really, in the end you are only lying to yourself, rationalizing the Bible's outrageous statements about nature and society, and trying to apply a book written from 4000-2000 years ago by Palestinian goat herders and the scum of Roman society to modern life.
