BUT where it touches on science, it is flawless...
So, what causes disease, and why do drugs, like penicillin work on those dastardly demons?
...where it touches on geography it is flawless...
I'm not much of a world traveler, so take this with a grain of salt, but I know very little of these 4 corners of the world, which just happens to be spherical...
...where it touches on biology it is flawless...
I know! I mean, there's nothing better than some rabbit's cud to keep the four legged locusts and fowled bats away.
...where it touches on astronomy it is flawless...
So...why does the sun orbit the Earth when everything else seems to orbit the sun? I mean, that seems a little funny. And if all the planets orbit the Earth, why are they not consistently visible?
...etc.
Uh-huh...
so in fundieland flawless means; "stop proving stuff"
What's the Bible say about the planets? The Greeks of this time period (2500 years ago, so before) Knew of five planets and their orbits.
And what it says about Earth and the Sun?
Nowhere near flawless.
Um, have you ever READ a science book? God would appear from the bible to have little to no idea of what we would call science (or just about anything else for that matter); perhaps that's because it is a nasty little tome written by desert dwelling nomadic folk who wrote about what they knew about the world (very little)? Surely if a god had had a hand in it they would have been sensible enough to put a chapter in about, say, basic (accurate) human biology? Or a nice periodic table? Not too much for an omnipotent deity to rustle up, surely?
So, had any luck changing the coloring of livestock's offspring by showing them a colored stick? C'mon, its in the bible (Genesis, the story of Jacob and Laban) so it must be possible. After all, the science of the bible is, and I quote, "flawless."
Isaiah 11:12 “And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.”
I don't see four corners, do you?

Fixed.

...it is evil.
“where it touches on geography it is flawless”
There’s a place, biblically, where you can stand and see all the nations of the world. Where is that at?
“where it touches on biology it is flawless”
What breed of goat has striped kids if they look at striped sticks while copulating?
“where it touches on astronomy it is flawless”
Where does the Sun spend the night? Biblically, the sun gets the night off, has a little chamber it sleeps in.
Or, if the Moon is a source of light, why isn’t it ALWAYS full?
Confused?
