Do you have proof that the Bible contradicts true science or are you mistaken (5th request)? No sure don't. Okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Jesus says these are the last days do you consider what he says to be literal? When He says this is my body which is broken referring to the bread was it symbolism? When the psalms say the rocks will cry out does it mean that they will form mouths and become sentient beings? Or when levitical law calls a woman unclean because she is on her period does that make her so? But... When someone dares to question gen1 and not take it literal all of a sudden he is a blasphemer! When you read the bible there are certainparts that are meant as a metaphor, but when you read through the bible and see the writting styles used by the people God used to record his word you will see that it becomes fairly easy to tell-if you take a moment to look it over-which parts are meant as literal and which parts are meant as figurative.

Maybe this: Carbon 14 Or comments and observations like this: "Finally, Dr. Libby and the evolutionist crowd have assumed that all plant and animal life utilize carbon-14 equally as they do carbon-12.

They touch things from the makeup of DNA to the Universe, from flowers to man and everything in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It contradicts the five senses, common sense, reason, logic and all things scientific. Meaning, specifically, that there is no proof (i.e. no evidence) of God (which god? choose any one - there is still no evidence). Therefore, in that sense, science contradicts God.

It's not the only illogical remark that appears on this board! I think it's important to put an end to this C-14 debate once and for all. If you accept that gravity is a 'fact' (meaning that it can be approximated by 9.81 m/s/s), then just accept C-14 dating. It's a 'fact', meaning that, within a reasonable tolerance, it's accurate back to around 50,000 years ago. There is no debate on this. Any example that I have see that has 'found' carbon dating to be 'wrong' is completely nonsensical. No serious scientist believes that C-14 is wrong - even those scientists that believe in God (or gods). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
