There are several scientific statements in there that is absolutely correct
the earth is round...
...
In the kooran and other religios scripts there are lots of inaccurate statements
like where the sun sets. filosofical maybe but thats not my cup of tea. I like facts.
The bible says the earth has 4 corners. If you like facts and not philosophical statements, tell me how the earth has 4 corners, without diving into a philosophical debate on how it means something else.
IF you start explaining it does not actually mean 4 corners then you're going the wrong way.

I do not see that it says the earth has four corners
The sayin "from the four corners of the earth" simply meens to me:
from the whole earth, nothing excluded.
I understand it to be a expression more than a statement.
I could be wrong but thats how I understand it.
If you think that is philosophical, I do not.
I think its the use of an linguistic expression.
Well, Roq
My language scills in English are not heavy, I know that
and maybe I should say I'm sorry.
I'm not living in an englishspoken state.
Looks like you understand me anyhow.

Well, since I have done several years now searching for evidence for evolution and its always been a waist of time, I don't see your point.
Give me one statemant that sticks!
Well this part I agree with. There's a lack of logic in faith-based beliefs. But that's the point. Some of us would rather believe more firmly in things that have evidence and are scrutable by logic. This is personal choice.
Personally, I am not without faith myself. But I don't try to convince others of something I only have faith in.
However, it's perfectly reasonable to try to convince others of things are demonstrable by logic and reason, like science.
I had assumed that since you were infected by a creationist from FLA (Florida?), you must be from somewhere around there. Also this kind of biblical literalism lunacy mostly stems from backward areas of the US in my experience.
Why not just accept that the earth is flat, since that's what is really implied in the bible as everyone knows? You could, for instance, claim that a conspiracy of scientists faked the moon landing just as they fake the theory of evolution, global warming and all those other theories that are so inconvenient to your wonderful faith!
And, after all, if you're prepared to accept the literal truth of the story of Noah's Ark, a flat earth should be even easier to swallow. In fact you could spend the next few years not finding evidence for all scientific theories, by living in a cupboard or something.
Ha ha ha:lol:
Well Sweden is a state where my english skills doesnt drag me down in
neither biblical literalism nor lunacy.
I can assure you that science contradicts evo-theory more than it does the biblical texts. If you have the heart for it, go and search for yourself.
The only thing I did find, was people calling other people names if they did not just accept the theory. Nobody could produce one source of proof for any of these highly regarded assumptions.
Why on earth are you so hung up?
I have not read anywhere in the bible that someone says the earth is flat.
What's the idea?

No, you probably haven't read the relevant passages. That's no surprise, it's ironic that many creationists and biblical literalists are less familiar with what it actually says in the bible than many atheists are.
