Right, not a word was added to the Bible by totalitarian kings who persecuted scientists and stole their research and made it look like their own through divine inspiration. Or worse, pretending that the research was already in older scriptures and they 'translated' it.
Sorry, my sarcasme button broke reading about religious superstition trying to stay relevant.
I just want to say your opinion is noted.
I would think there should be errors throughout The Bible if what you claim is true.
I have no doubt that you have Heard things as you claim.
Have you heard of the people who are full of joy due to The Bible and Gods Wisdom and the changes that it has brought to their lives.?
You paint a picture of horror and try to blame it on Gods Word?
I am still waiting for the links or books that prove what you say.
P.S. Can we get back on topic?

Good point! There's actually quite a few things in the bible that people during the time period that it was written in wouldn't have known. Strange, those that call the bible a myth are never actually able to explain that.
I am not judging you. I don't even know you. I simply stated what The Bible has to say about Hydrology. The accuracey of that statement. If you want to go into another topic, then start a thread and I will participate. I guess the question topically could be this. Is The Bible accurate in it's statements about Hydrology?

If the answer is Yes, so what? If you want to extrapolate and tell met that the rest of it is also accurate because you believe you can prove 1 facet is accurate you have a long hard road ahead of you. I will give you that the bible may be accurate in describing hydrology though. Mark one up for God, because I had always wondered what he had to say about hydrology....
You might think info is off topic, but it is already obvious where you are going with this thread and I think they just meant to cut you off sort of. I am all for you believing what ever it is you want to believe, honestly I am. Just don't expect everyone else to believe it too.

It is not a baseless opinion, I sincerely hope you understand that before you cast your judgement.
I would think there should be errors throughout The Bible if what you claim is true.
And there are, but since the human mind is an interpretive one, those minds that are religious will interpret anything in a way to suit their own minds. I bet you do it with the contradicting parts in the Bible.
I have no doubt that you have Heard things as you claim.
Heard? As in hear-say? What you believe in stems from hear-say, what I believe in stems from life experiences and observations over the past two decades and counting.
Have you heard of the people who are full of joy due to The Bible and Gods Wisdom and the changes that it has brought to their lives.?
Have you heard that when they researched the brains of Apple-fans(the computers) and compared them to the brains of Bible-fans(or any other religion) the same parts of the brain were active? So consider this a warning before you claim that people are full of joy because of the Bible while it is their own brains tricking them into a sense of euforia that is best described as psychotic.
You paint a picture of horror and try to blame it on Gods Word?
No, I blame the people (like you) who propagate matters that they do not understand in order to recruit more believers and to indoctrinate others like they were indoctrinated.
Who says the Bible is Gods words when they were written by men? You? And you expect me to take this leap of faith because you have a big house? Your countries economy is doing good? Your military is powerful? Which one is it?
I am still waiting for the links or books that prove what you say.
And I am waiting for you to prove what you have stated:
- the Bible is Gods word.
- scientists and researchers were not persecuted by the religious crowd to the point of executions.
Until then, I will have to take what you say as one man's (unfinformed, unexperienced and unread) opinion.
P.S. Can we get back on topic?
This post is more on-topic than your opening post.
