is this addressed to me? if so, why should i have anything to fear? for i contend that science and the Bible are harmonious, therefore my faith can really only get stronger for the more science progresses, the more apparent it is, that the scriptures are scientifically sound, the above reference to the universe having a beginning is a good case. t ...[text shortened]... ve to fear, is non science, dogma and postulation proffering and masquerading itself as science!
The Bible is a book of stories, nothing more, nothing less. And where do all stories start? In the beginning!!! They don't start in the middle, and they don't start at the end. They start 'in the beginning'!!!!
Everything has a beginning, my life, this post, a game of chess, a car journey, a day, a year. If people want to belive that God created the universe then he would have to start at the beginning.
The searching of scriptures to find matches with what science now knows reminds me of Nostradmus's alleged prophecies and the so called Bible codes. Utter rubbish.
So we have science reference number one from the Bible. What more delights do you have in store for us?
