Editado por Britton: 3/8/2016 12:46:28 AM[quote]Air has weight Job 28:25 [/quote] Any boob waving his/her hand in the air can feel that air pushes back. [quote]The Earth is round Isaiah 40:22 15th Century[/quote] poor interpretation by yourself due to the Bible being translated. http://www.crivoice.org/circle.html [quote]Oceans have natural paths in them Psalms 8:8 1854[/quote] The verse: The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. You mean currents? Another very basic observation. Water flows. Wow. [quote]Both man and woman possess the seed of life Genesis 3:15 17th Century[/quote] wait, you mean understanding it takes a man and woman to reproduce is supposed to be ground breaking? Here's the verse: And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” [quote]There is a place void of stars in the North Job 26:7 19th Century[/quote] What place is void of stars in the north? There's stars in the north fool. [quote]Earth is held in place by invisible forces Job 26:7 [/quote] This is the same verse as above: He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. At best they looked up and figured there's "nothing" out there. An easy assumption to make with just looking up at the night sky. [quote]Taxonomic classification of matter Genesis 1 1735[/quote] Idk what verse this is supposed to be. Gen 1:17 is unrelated. [quote]Certain animals carry diseases harmful to man Leviticus 11 16th Century[/quote] Once this is something that would be easy to observe. [quote]Early diagnosis of leprosy Leviticus 13 17th Century[/quote] Recording observations of a skin disease isnt very astounding. [quote]Quarantine for disease control Leviticus 13 17th Century[/quote] more easy observations. Seeing that people who come into contact with a person with a skin disease leads to very easy logical conclusion to stay away from the infected person. [quote]Blood of animals carries diseases Leviticus 17 17th Century[/quote] this chapter says nothing about disease. It says that a person shouldnt conusme blood of animals because the blood is the life of the animal and the blood is for sacrifice. Nothing super scientific. [quote]Blood is necessary for life Leviticus 17:11 19th Century[/quote] nothing shocking here. An easy observation to see that someone/something dies after bleeding out. [quote]Earth was in nebular form initially Genesis 1:2 1911[/quote] Heres the verse: And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. I see no mention of nebulae, but I do see a contradiction. Maybe you can see it too. [quote]Most seaworthy ship design ratio is 30:5:3 Genesis 6 1860[/quote] There is no ratio in the Bible, only dimensions given in cubits. A cubit was the length from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. Hardly an exact measurement. [quote]Light is a particle and has mass (a photon) Job 38:19 1932[/quote] The verse: Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof, I see no mention of photons. [quote]Radio astronomy (stars give off signals) Job 38:7[/quote] The verse: When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy Stretching much? [quote]Oceans contain fresh water springs Job 38:16 1920[/quote] The verse: Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? No mention of freshwater springs and no mention of how deep said springs are, or that the springs are deep at all. [quote]Snow has material value Job 38:22 1905, 1966[/quote] The verse: Have you entered into the treasury of the snow? or have you seen the treasury of the hail? Treasury is a synonym for storehouse. Also, all these verses from Job CH 38 are in the context of Job challenging God, and he's just rattling off a bunch of crazy places he can think of. [quote]Infinite number of stars exist Genesis 15:5 1940[/quote] The verse: He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Challenge a persom to count the stars isn't the same as saying they are infinite. [quote]Dust is important to survival Isaiah 40:12 1935[/quote] The verse: Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills in a balance? I see no mention of dust being important to survival. [quote]Hubert Spencer's scientific principles Genesis 1 1820[/quote] This is too vague to even address. Which principles? [quote]Light can be split up into component colors Job 38:24 1650[/quote] Again this is where Job is rattling of crazy shit to challenge God. The verse: By what way is the light distributed, which scatters the east wind upon the earth? No mention of splitting light into component colors. There is a question about how light is distributed, scattered, etc though. Which to me seems to question the sun. [quote]Matter is made up of invisible particles Romans 1:20 20th Century[/quote] The verse: For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse No mention of invisible particles. [quote]Plants use sunlight to manufacture food Job 8:16 1920[/quote] The verse: He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden Only a reference to how a plant in the sun stays green. Nothing groundbreaking. [quote]Arcturus and other stars move through space Job 38:32 19th Century[/quote] The verse: Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? No mention of space, only a reference to how the constellations move. Something people were observing across many different civilizations. [quote]Water cycle Ecclesiastes 1:7 17th Century[/quote] The verse: All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. Another very basic observation. [quote]Life originated in the sea Genesis 1 19th Century[/quote]coincidence. And the only one of of your list. [quote]Lightning and thunder are related Job 38:25 19th Century[/quote] Children make this connection. [quote]Human beings were the last living things created Genesis 1 15th Century [/quote] not even close to a fact. Evolution is still happening. I was bored. Congrats, your list is garbage.

I actually didn't know dust was important to survival

Yep. Slavery is a great moral value.

3 RespuestasI don't want to follow any set of morals that punish you with eternal damnation if you don't follow them perfectly
-
No it's not

Hmm a pot smoking bible bashing gamer.

Sure the bible has it stories such as my personal favorite, where the prophet Elijah is heckled by children and responds by sending bears from the forest to eat the children. I mean if you want a book with a more powerful message that you most likely won't recognize unless you analyze it, I think you should read "The Sneeches" by the late Dr. Seuss.
-
28 RespuestasOddly enough, that book made me an atheist.
-
And I'd like you to watch this and respond to it. Also, morals were around before the Bible.
-
Hmmm where's all the bad unmoral quotes from the old Testament?? Cherry picking at its finest.
-
TL;DR Wouldn't it be common courtesy?

1 RespuestaBuddhism has the greatest moral code of any religion. Probably because it doesn't force you to adore a god but rather promotes you to be the best person you can by following simple principles.
-
Does this mean you are a creationist?

Editado por Autolycus: 3/4/2016 10:39:14 PMFirstly, the bible is not mankind's greatest moral code, although there are several mentions and interpretations of the greatest moral code inside of it, just like virtually every other religion and secular philosophies. What is the greatest code? The empathy principle, or more commonly, the [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule]Golden Rule[/url]. The idea that we should be conscious of how our actions effect others, to see things from their point of view, and to treat them how we would want to be treated. That is the primary value in the ethics of human interaction, far superior to any set of rules imposed by mythology or philosophy. Secondly, listing scientific information that may be suggested by the Bible has nothing to do with morals. Thinking that this is novel or special is probably largely due to the flaws of our western centric history. Ancient civilisations were able to discover much about the natural world through empirical reasoning long before the Greeks, who we tend to attribute everything to.
