Why can't we get an answer that is based on science rather than the Bible? Here is why I do not give much weight to answers that are Bible-based. Whatever you do, do not rely on the Bible rather than science. Too often when the scientists do not know the answer yet, the Bible thumpers fill in the gap. The thumpers have been retreating for centuries as science keeps making advances. At the same time religion remains stagnant. It only retreats and defensively creates explanations when science refutes their latest claim. Here are reasons why you should avoid the Bible when confronted with science 's limitations. The Bible is mistaken so much that it could not have been written by the omniscient person. The "holy scriptures" are wrong about 1) origin of the earth and universe, 2) origin of species (man), 3) claiming the earth is flat, 4) claiming that the sun revolved around the earth, 5) recognizing slavery as an acceptable practice (before Lincoln made that unethical), 5) relegating women to a lowly status, 5) using violence to enforce the Ten Commandments, 6) using infanticide to deal with recalcitrant children, 7) Using serial killings to deal with infidels, 8) claiming that knowledge is bad, 9) claiming that it is better to be poor than rich, and 10) performing miracles.
