Science and the Bible Pt1

[Imaginefree69]

In stating that the Hebrew word CHUWG means "spherical" the author of this video lies. chuwg = circle, circuit, compass duwr = ball, sphere "The Hebrew language lacked a specific term for sphere" Nice try, but not true. The OLD Hebrew word 'dure' = ball or sphere. As in Exodus 39:24 Then they made balls like pomegranates of blue, purple, and red thread Isaiah 22:18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country Ezekiel 1:4 a huge ball of fire glowing like bronze

"the CIRCLE of the earth"

Isaiah 40:22 says the earth is a CIRCLE (Hebrew CHUWG).

Circles are flat, see any dictionary.

(DURE is Old Hebrew for "sphere", but Isaiah used CHUWG)

Daniel 4:10-11a tree that is as tall as the heavens

can be seen from everywhere on the earth

Matthew 4:8 has Jesus viewing the whole earth from a tall mountain.

Revelation 1:7 says every eye will see Jesus coming in the clouds.

Daniel, Matthew, and Revelation all require a flat earth.

Well, either flat or bowl-shaped.

Job 26:7

"He hangs the earth on nothing."

The earth does NOT hang on nothing.

It is hurtling around the sun at 30 kilometres per second.

Nor is it sitting motionless (Psalms 93:1),

upon pillars (1 Samuel 2:8)

nor upon foundations (Job 38:4, 6),

nor does it have four corners (Isaiah 11:12).

Gotta love the heavy slant,

"If there is ANY scientific foreknowledge found in the Bible,

then we must acknowledge the validity of its claims."

What nonsense.

It is far more valid to say

"If there are ANY scientific errors in the Bible,

then we must dismiss all claims of inerrancy."

And this video draws unscientific and invalid (and dishonest)

conclusions from the scriptures quoted.

I'll run over a couple, shall I?

well, being that Tolkien wrote about Hobbits before the scientific discovery of Homo Florensis, Tolkien must have known about them, and by that extension, he is the father and creator of Hobbits who went extinct in the fourth age, circa 5000 BC.

If you don't believe me then you are close-minded

Christian apologists take obvious facts about the world, facts that were readily known to people of antiquity, and act as if their mention in the Bible constituted an amazing insight.

A circle is 2D shape and its definition does not include a sphere.

Let's see, subjective anthropomorphism applied to natural physical constants or God of the gaps. (Victor J. Stenger, F.C. Adams, Harnik, Kribs and Perez)

PSALMS

Vague metaphors and interpretations. Not uncommon for apologists.

Jonah described many things WHILE INSIDE OF A FISH.

Speaking of apologists; for years they depicted Jonah being swallowed by a WHALE. They have since abandoned that. Guess they got tired of people pointing out that WHALES AREN'T FISH.

If it get ANY thing right we must accept the validity of its claims?

So if a liar tells the truth one time we must believe everything he says from that point on?

aarlin81- if you were that liar, or are known to be a liar but knew something to be true, and no one beleived you, you would ask them to CHECK for them selves that what you are saying is true. And then they will beleive you. Do the same here with these claims. Dont be afraid.

Yawn. Circular reason and flat out stupidity. Ignorance of your audience too.

I have and the bible still falls flat (no pun intended).
