Now most of you may think that science can only be done by evolutists, big-bangers, or long-agers. But modern science was actually founded on the bible.

This is obviously some strange usage of the word "science" that I wasn't previously aware of.
Oh, wait, yes, now I remember -- the usage given to it by the Fundie Word Redefinition Project. Sorry, but that one does NOT count.
~David D.G.
Oh, really now?
Say, could you remind me which verse and chapter it is which reads:
"Thou shalt make thyself a hypothesis, one which can be tested. If it cannotin principle be proven wrong, thou shalt drop it, because it is useless. But, if it shall be possible to prove wrong, then shalt thou propose an experiment, by which it shall be judged. And if on testing, the hypothesis is found wanting, thou shalt discard or modify thine hypothesis, for it is naught in mine sight. But, if it should come to pass that thy hypothesis holds true, thou shalt tentatively accept it.
If, in thine eye, a hypothesis is found worthy, thou shalt continue to test it, and, as long as thy hypothesis correctly predicts the outcome of thine controlled experiments, thou shall have confidence in it. But, when thou finds thy theory false, thou shall have taken its measure, and ye shall judge where it is useful, and where it may not be used."?
And Lo - one shall come forth who will be mocked, for he will be but a humble clerk, yet shall claim that time will be but relative. But verily five short of a score years later, it shall be noticed that light itself shall be warped by our heliocentric focus even though it truly be without mass. And there shalt be a great gnashing of teeth and a wailing as many try to understand his teachings. And the feebleminded shall fall by the wayside and succumb to tricksters and charlatans that call themselves Doctor, but peddle fallacies.
Andrew. Chapter 3, Verse 16
And then god said "create a hypothesis attempting to predict what you believe the experiment will produce, then thou shalt also have a hypothesis on why this occurence shalt be made. Once thou conducts the experiment, it will be seen as to whether the prediction is correct"
See, tis all in Andrew
I think what Crossbreed (hmmm?) is trying to say is that early christians did try to "scientifically" (in the loosest possible sense - how many angels can fit on the head of a pin, blah blah blah) try and prove the bible but very quickly realised that this was not going to work. Reality just didn't seem to match up with the bible. The result was the suppression of real science in Europe for several centuries until the advent of the Renaissance. It's also interesting that this same scientific explosion was made possible through the rediscovery of knowledge preserved by Islamic scholars. What do you think about this, C.breed?
WTF is with these YEC's? I mean, you will not find the phrase '6,000 years' or '4,000 years' (from time of writing the new testament) anywhere in the bible, especially not in relation to Genesis.
In what sense? Galileo, using observations to overturn existing Christian concepts of the world (which were actually more primitive than the Greek beliefs that had proceeded them, but had been heavily influenced by Aristotle's logical wankery)? Newton, the alchemist? Bruno, who continued his work despite death threats from the Church? Pascal, who despite the anti-intellectual teachings of his sect, couldn't help but apply mathematical logic to everything he did, including his half-finished theology?
Get back to us on that.
...Jenie Jafar is easy. Dragon Maleficent, however, effectively raped me...in a chapel...none of which surprised me.
And actually, alchemy was a practice that largely made no sense. However, it did have one benefit: It classified the first elements. Know what Christians said about it? "EVIL WORK OF SATAN!"
As a matter of fact, in Inferno, Dante puts alchemists very far down in Hell.
So no. You're lying. Lying for Jesus.
All you need is the Jesus attack, which defeats everything in 1 hit. This attack applies to every game on any game system in existance. To activate it, press the power button once.
Unfortunately, it defeats your own character, too.
You forgot gravitarian, laws of thermodynacians, law of conservation of momentumism, astronomyism, and medicalism, etc. Seriously STFU. You can't add a suffix and turn a natural phenomena into a religion. It doesn't work that way. Maybe I should call you fundies Jesus-ite-ians or Biblicarianoushjdfbvvadfvsad.
Yah, the bible that describes the solid sky, how rain comes when God opens little windows in the sky, and how hail is kept in little chests beside those windows.
Good foundation for establishing the GPS network, uh-huh.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
