Have you never heard of clouds? You know, they hold water above the earth and then it comes back down in the form of rain. How is it unscientific to say that there is water above the earth? When you walk outside at night it isn't completely pitch black. Why? Well look up in the sky, there is a big round shining object, the moon. It is allowing me to see to a degree that I'm not totally blind. From my perspective it is a source of light. Not an u scientific statement. It would be unscientific to claim that the moon stores energy from the sun and retransmits it at night. That's an unscientific statement. | |||

Thing science is want to explain. Genesis 1:7 yet again here is where you are thinking about what people say ABOUT the Bible as opposed to what the Bible says. Here is the meaning of Gen 1:7 On Day Two God made an expanse by causing a division to occur “between the waters and the waters.” Some waters remained on the earth, but a great amount of water was raised high above the surface of the earth, and in between these two there came to be an expanse. God called the expanse Heaven, but this was with relation to the earth, as the waters suspended above the expanse are not said to have enclosed stars or other bodies of the outer heavens. If you want scientific harmony with a water canopy in the early stages of earth watch "How the earth was made" on the history channel. In fact that program hormonizes well with the Genesis creation account. To say that the Bible is unscien moon is a source of lighttific by calling the moon a light source is to say that modern science has failed because we use the colloquial expressions "sunrise" and "sunset". We of course know that the sun does not actually move, but the effect is due to the earth axis and rotation. To the ancient observer the moon was a light source. That is an argument of semantics not science. Still I have yet to see a contradiction. Try again. | |||

But I guess if you had a time machine, we could simply go back to the beginning of the universe and put this "debate" to rest for good.

The existence of evidence of evolution doesn't disprove the existence of a god. The bible says certain things but the bible is the worlds longest running game of Chinese whispers, at least in the Christian world.
Its been translated from other languages, modified to fit the political and social requirements of the times, retranslated, ad nauseam. I don't believe in god the being who thinks, but I believe in science, and I think the mystery of what existed or didn't exist, how the universe came into being from what existed or didn't exist is pretty much akin to a miracle or magic. We know there are forces and things that we can see (dark energy and dark matter) out there that are unexplained, there are very likely things we can't see as well out there. Until we put together the theory of everything we're all in the dark. | ||
