The bible is not to be taken literally.

The only thing that science can prove, is that the scrolls are of about the right date. No proof has been provided as to the truth of what's written on them. But then, the same can be said for all the scrolls in the bible too.

Contrary to some of your answers, I have never thought that the Big Bang theory or the Theory of Evolution and the Bible were mutually exclusive.\n\nPerhaps we are finally learning some of God's methods of Creation.

Bible is Fact.\nDa Vinci Code is Fiction.\nBible presents itself as Fact.\nDa Vinci Code presents itself as Fiction.\nBible author says the book is Fact.\nDa Vinci Code author says the book is Fiction.\n\n'nough said.

Archeology is a science and the science is not static like the "true"  Bible. In the Bible all the thinks are true without question, they are "God" words.  In science we question all the thinks and the true of today maybe be false tomorrow and this concept is not bad is really good. If you are a believer your true is based on faith, if you believe in the science your true is based on proof and the proof are generally changing. Yes there are a  lot of discrepancies between the evidences. Are you willing to accept the differences even if they point that Bible is incorrect?

You are Right, Evolution is true.\n\nThose who dont just happen to take references from their Holy Books to seriously. We must all understand that these Holy Books are a matter of faith and should not be involved in the studies of Science. \nScience on the other hand is hard cold truth. The truth in Science is always backed by facts and numbers.

Scientists have to obey the laws of nature. The Creator made nature and its laws. He can do whatevever he wants to do. He can suspend the laws of nature. Jesus is the Son of God and 1st John 1:10 says He made the world.

Nothing from the bible has been proven except obvious things (the sun rose that morning lol). There's much better explanations for nature and the workings of the universe than the bible has ever given. EVIDENCE and FACTS point towards things VERY different than those written in the bible. It's vastly outdated and filled with lies and things we should long have forgotten.

science , all its kinds is the prove of Islamic religion , and the living proof that the Holy Quran wasn't written by a man 1400 years ago , cos there's no man lived 1400 years ago , who knew about all the scientific facts we found in The islam Holy Book , \n\n And for the who is talking about laser and computers ,and saying dont be silly how I'm gonna find them in a holy book , \n        Take a look at this site : http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_index.html\n\n Maybe you get a Shock !

Science and Christianity are very, very different at the moment. In the world of duality opposites seams to be difficult to be put together. The only way is to understand that we can comprehend the Whole only by making together the opposites. At the end you will find that there are no opposites at all as both sides have the very same core. \nNot only (some!!!) scientist but also lot of deeply spiritually people do not believe in the Bible. \nScience is trying to give proof to some claims. It is good in fact that in last years science have realized that some subatomic particles behave on behalf of the observer. This means that the matter and energy are in some or other way influenced by consciousness.\nSome ideas to the some point should be true, you are probably right.\nWe all know, deep, deep inside that we really know nothing about creation. This is why it is said that more you know you more realize that you know nothing.\nMost religions do have the same basics.\nAnswer on all your why lies in the nature of human beings - in duality. You see in this world you will always have opposites. Not only this. Creation is made in such a way that is all the time making balance between all opposites (also so called good and bad). \nIt is the nature of creation and the human being!

Because one of them follows the general guidelines of scientific theory and one of them doesn't.  One of them can be backed up by thousands of documents of supporting evidence, the other ends with "faith" as the answer.  Trying to equate the two is silly.

christian science is an oxymoron. \n\nthey're based on two different methods.\n\nchristians believe in the reason, and then observe, scientists observe first and then try to find the reason.\n\nchristianity is a religion, not science, it will never be science, ever. \n\nbut you can believe in both. it certainly happens. \n\nremember, one is not necessarily better than the other, they're just different and i for one subscribe to science.

The Bible is the Standard in Christianity. The Bible places the age of the earth about 6200 (+/-150) years, whereas evolution dates the earth about 4.5 billion years.  Evolution places death before sin. Dinosaurs died millions of years ago, but the first sin about occurred in the first 100 years after creation. These two will not add up.

Science is all about understanding the universe we live in.  If God created this universe, isn't science then just an attempt to understand what God created?  Science and religion are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but problems do arise when scientific conclusions and religious beliefs do not match, and should that be the case it's up to you to decide what you feel is the most correct answer.

Empirical science does not prove the Bible wrong but certain beliefs that some scientists hold do go against the Bible. The bible is historically accurate more than any other written work in existance. It was also written with geographical points of reference. Archeology has verified so many cities, locations of all kinds, buildings, peoples, and the occurance of major events, existance of rulers and more up to the 2nd chapter of the first book of the Bible, Genesis, where the first landmarks are mentioned. There is no conflict with observable science and the content of scripture. Prophecy has been shown to be verified from past accounts in the Bible making it a unique book. The human history in geneology is found in the bible up to the birth of Jesus. The provable accounts of where the main nations came from are recorded in the book of Genesis chapter 10. \n\nAnyone with a unbiased opinion would be able to see that the Bible is very unique to the Point of being divinely written when a general study of it is done. The present world events and the ones still come will further enhance the divine mark of the Bible when the fullfilment of more prophecy is seen as in the world ruler arising and the Jewish Temple rebuilt and more.\n\nUsually it is the issue of Darwinian evolution that some people try to hold against the Bible when it comes to science but when it comes down to it observable science (not the philoshophy of Darwinism) is in harmony with the Bible where it states that creatures multiply according to their own kind as stated in the first chapter of Genesis. \n\nHistory also proves that people have been changed by the influence of the Bible as well as whole nations being impacted as the history of the U.S.A. shows.
