"It ain't necessarily so..."
ER — (archived)

"What your preacher is liable
to preach from the Bible,
it ain't necessarily so."

You've already tried passing off your voodoo Bible physics here, Johannes. Give it a rest. The opening words of Genesis are an English translation of a Bronze Age document. It may not even be a good translation. There is no scientific significance there whatsoever. There is nothing in the Bible of physical significance. It's just a very old collection of exquisitely beautiful poems and prayer. That alone is significant.

Now if somewhere in the Bible there were verses that said things like:

All matter is composed of individual and identical particles of a handful of types.

The earth and the planets circle the sun.

All creatures on earth are descended from a common ancestor.

The earth is round.

Blood is circulated in the body, from veins to heart to arteries.

Disease is caused by tiny creatures that invade our bodies.

The stars are like the sun, but very far away, and the planets are like the earth, but much closer.

THEN, maybe you'd have something. At least you'd have some proof of the existence of the Deity. As it is, we have in the Bible a treasure of great value, but it is not science.
