Scientific Errors in Bible

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Cristianity:

Islam belives in Jesus (PBUH) and we belive himself as a Prophet of Allah SWT, But he is not God, There are enormous proofs available in the bible itself that Jesus (pbuh) is not crucified. Thats is different Chapter.

Here i am going to talk about the scientific errors in Bible, Cristians belive that the bible is the word of God, If anything is attributed to God that should be free from errors, because Christians belive that Bible is the holy book and it is from God, Here i just quoted only one scientific error. there ara many that we can discuss as the topic continue.

I have taken this from a Debate happened between Dr. William Campbell (USA) VS Dr. Zakir Naik (India), the topic is "Quran and the Bible in the light of science", at last Dr. Campbell agrees that there is some problem with the bible and he could not answer for even a single question posted by Dr. Zakir Naik, I would advice you to kindly watch the debate.

Let us analyse what the Bible says about modern science - First we deal with Astronomy., The Bible speaks about the creation of the universe. In the beginning, 1st Book, Book of Genesis, 1st Ch., it is mentioned - It says… ‘Almighty God created the Heavens and the Earth, in six days and talks about a evening and a morning, referring to a 24 - hour day. Today scientists tell us, that the universe cannot be created in a 24 hour period of six days. Qur’an too speaks about six ‘ayyams’. The Arabic word singular is ‘yaum’ plural is ‘ayyam’. It can either mean a day of 24 hours, or it is a very long period, an ‘yaum’, an epoch. Scientists say we have no objection in agreeing that the universe - it could have been created in 6 very long periods. Point No.2 - Bible says in Genesis Ch. No. 1 Verses No. 3 and 5,…‘Light was created on the first day.’ Genesis, Ch., 1 Verses, 14 to 19… ‘The cause of light - stars and the sun, etc. was created on the fourth day’. How can the cause of light be created on the 4th day - later than the light which came into existence on the first day? - It is unscientific. Further, the, Bible says Genesis, Ch. 1, Verses 9 to 13… ‘Earth was created on the 3rd day. How can you have a night and day without the earth ? The day depends upon the rotation of the Earth Without the earth created, how can you have a night and day? Point No..4, Genesis, Ch. No. 1 Verses 9 to 13 says… ‘Earth was created on the third day.’ Genesis Ch. No. 1 Verses 14 to 19 says…‘The Sun and the Moon were created on the fourth day.’ Today science tells us… ‘Earth is part of the parent body… the sun.’ It cannot come into existence before the sun – It is unscientific. Point No. 5, the Bible says in Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse No. 11 to 13…‘The vegetation, the herbs the shrubs, the trees - they were created on the 3rd day And the Sun, Genesis, Ch. No. 1, Verses. 14 to 19, was created on the 4th day.How can the vegetation come into existence without sunlight, and how can they survive without sunlight ? Point No.6, that the Bible says in Genesis, Ch. 1, Verses No.16, that…‘God created two lights the greater light, the Sun to rule the day, and the lesser light the Moon, to rule the night. The actual translation, if you go to the Hebrew text, it is ‘lamps’…‘Lamps having lights of its own.’ And that you will come to know better, if you read both the Verses – Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse. 16, as well as 17. Verse No.17 says…‘And Almighty God placed them in the firmament, to give light to the earth… To give light to the earth.’ Indicating, that Sun and the Moon has its own light - which is in contradiction with established scientific knowledge that we have. There are certain people who try and reconciliate, and say that the six days mentioned in the Bible, it actually refers to epocs - like the Qur’an long periods - not six, 24 hour day. It is illogical - you read in the Bible, evening, morning - It clearly states 24 hours, it indicates. But even if I use the concordance approach - no problem. I agree with your illogical argument - Yet they will only be able to solve the 1st scientific error of 6 days creation, and second, of first day ‘light’ and 3rd day ‘earth.’ The remaining four, yet they cannot solve. Some further say that… ‘If it is a 24-hour period, why cannot the vegetables survive for one 24 hour day without sunlight?’ I say ‘Fine - If you say that the vegetables were created before the sun, and can survive for one 24-hour day, I have got no objection. But you cannot say the days mentioned are 24 hours as well as epochs - You cannot have the cake and eat it, both. If you say it is long period, you solve Point No.1 and 3, the remaining 4 are yet there. If you say the days are 24 hours day, you solve only Point No.5 - the remaining 5 are yet there - It becomes unscientific.
 
There's a problem with this even before you begin posting the errors you perceive. The problem is that the scientific paradigm and religious paradigm are different, in fact they're polar opposites, so you're essentially trying to debunk something that needs no proof from A using proof of A. Doesn't make sense. Also, there's an enormous difference in the knowledge of modern-day science and the knowledge way back when very, very little was known. Had the knowledge gradient been minimal or ideally none, then ignoring the issue of the paradigms, your arguments will work. These two key things must be considered but if not, then your attempts to debunk the errors are meaningless. Hence, concluding the bible is unscientific is redundant as its intent is to NOT be scientific, just as science is NOT religious. You defeat yourself before you even begin.

Can you please provide a link for the video?

I am not able to post the link directly in the thread so y i sent you a private message, you can check that and also go to youtube.com and you can search for Quran and the Bible in the light of Science and see all the videos related to the topics, especially the Q&A session, so that you will come to know about the truth.

I will look over the video later as I have to go now, however, regardless if I "know about the truth", did you read and consider a single thing I wrote?

why spend time trying to debunk the bible? true believers arent going to stop believeing, if people was to prove to you that the Quran wasnt true would you believe it? true believers faith is in God and no matter what any man says we arent going to stop believeing. Not angry or anything just stating facts. God bless

How come you can tell that you can belive in a book which has ful of errors and you attribute it to God, Be a broad minded person and think.

Yeah yeah yeah . . . you guys have a video too . . . . Scientific errors in the Quran

Mu Dear friend,

The video you mentioned here is just a statement, What i gave is a debate between a Muslim Scholar and a Cristian Scholar, they both gave some proofs and people know at last who won the debate. If somebody created a video in the name of Quran has Scientific Eroors it does not mean that it is correct. COme for dialogue, putforth ur points so that we can arrive at a conclusion. thats what was happened in the debate, have a broad mind and first watch that video

One would think that the errors would be about the same as the Qur'an ;) could be a reason for that,putting that aside for a moment neither are supposed to be science books,they are books of faith,not facts and the Zakir Naik video is laughable,why people try to purport these books to be something they are not does nothing to advance their religion,it just invites ridicule a criticism,why not just be happy with your faith.

Hours hadn't been invented back then,just stick to *days*.

Look at Mercury,it's day's (rotation's upon it's axis) are way,way,way longer than it's years(time to revolve around the Sun).So a Mercurial day last's over 3 times longer than it's days.

Hence the Hel Period lasted a couple of billion of Aeon's,let's just call it a day as a trillion would confuse the hell out of any dumbasses who take this stuff literally & International telephone numbers/cricket scores are as yet unheard of..

There are better creation myth's on the go,of course,the Bible is a Holy Document & should be treated as such.I do wish that there was more geometry in it.
