[Genesis isn't scientific.]
Au contraire.
Since science has a word for what we call miracles (i.e. "singularity") - that makes the Bible a "book of singularities" - which makes it very scientific.

No, Science just says that we don't actually know what happens in singularities. That doesn't make them miracles. Unlike miracles, we can predct what will cause a singularity, and how it will act on things outside of it.
I love how pretentious he sounds, with his French and all, yet he says the most inane, pedestrian fallacy I've heard all week.
Can it get any wronger than that?
Only if JohnR7 is saying it.
Amigone201 -- Careful, if AV1611VET, dad and JohnR7 got too close to each other it could create a mental singularity which could pull in all cogent thoughts and leave that area of the universe devoid of intelligence.
I don't know guys, he might be right. I was checking the definition of the word given I typically forget after not using a word for so long, and I found this:
In general, a singularity is a point at which an equation, surface, etc., blows up or becomes degenerate.
Now, I believe that may very well be correct for the bible.
It's the mathmatical definition, but these are the people who will tell you god is in everything. I think they'll understand.
OK AV1611VET - here's the deal buddy, you ready for this?
You are so dense that it's a miracle you can breathe, HOWEVER, you are by no means dense enough to be classed as a singularity. You would need to be a billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion times denser than you currently are, and that my friend is impossible, even for you and JohnR7.
Therefore miracle does not equal singularity!
P.S. Fuck you!
"Since science has a word for what we call miracles"
Which 'miracle' are we talking about, the picture of jesus on a piece of toast, on a window, or the 'image' of mary in lime and rust deposits on the wall of a tunnel?

I think im going to cry! Things like this make me lose my faith in humanity =(
You have no idea what what science means by "singularity," do you? It has nothing to do with miracles, you hair-brained moron.
Shouldn't it be "hare-brained"? OTOH he is dumber than a box of hair, so it also works (and I think that I can speak for my compatriots when I say that unlike Weird Al Yankovic, this moron would never be considered a Genius in France )
Jeez, I wish that kind of logic worked for me!
Hell, I could get away with killing someone as long as I could get the judge to understand that it was a "justifiable punishment", not a "murder"...
A one... two-- A one... two... three... four...
Half a wit, philosophically,
Must, ipso facto, half not be.
But half the wit has got to be
Vis a vis, its entity. D'you see?
But can a wit be held to wit
Or not to wit an entire wit
When half the wit is not a wit
Due to some ancient philosophy?
Singing...
La dee dee, one two three,
AV the singularity.
A B C D E F G,
AV the singularity.
Is this wretched idolatry,
Half-asleep upon my knee,
Some freak from a menagerie?
No! It's AV the singularity!
Fiddle de dum, Fiddle de dee,
AV the singularity.
Ho ho ho, tee hee hee,
AV the singularity.
I love this child, retardee-ee,
Discovered accidentally,
One summer afternoon by me,
I love him carnally.
He loves him carnally,
Semi-carnally.
The end.
Cyril Connelly?
No; semi-carnally!
Oh.
Cyril Connelly.

This post by AV is so stupid that I don't think it merits any response. However, Julian wrote:

Black holes only have a density of about 10e20 g/cm^3, iirc. So he'd only need to be about 100 billion billion times denser. Your point remains valid, though.

I think the density required actually varies with the amount of matter you have. The Schwarzschild radius (the radius of the event horizon associated with a black hole) is directly proportional to the mass, but the volume of the black hole (if you define the black hole to be all the space inside the event horizon) is proportional to the cube of the radius. A black hole with the same mass as the Sun would be approximately 2*10^17 g/cm^3, and a supermassive black hole of 1 billion solar masses would actually be less dense than water!
Thanks Crosis.
Yep, Non Homogenized, I wasn't going to go into my working, but basically as you said stellar black holes have a density of about a billion billion times that of water. However, the Schwarzschild radius of any solid is 1.48x10^-27 multiplied by the mass, which means for Earth, it's 8.8mm, and for JohnR7's brain (being kind and rounding up to 1.5kgs, it's 2.22x10^-27 and density is divisible by pi R cubed, so actually bothering to calculate it correctly instead of pull it out my ass, it's actually 4x10^79, which kinda makes my assumption of 10^81 ONLY out by a factor of 25.
Jussht call me "The Sshhpleeen!"
(*Searches through Online Parallel Bible with the words 'Singularity'/'Singularities' *)
...nope. No mention of Romulan ships or the experimental Fold-Drive ship 'Event Horizon', AV1611VET. Seeing as the former use Artificial Quantum Singularities to power their cloaking device-equipped Warbirds, and the latter uses an equally artificial graviton-generating Black Hole - or 'Singularity' - to generate the Space Fold it uses to travel from one point in the universe to another instantaneously.
So I guess the Bible isn't scientific in the slightest. It claims that snakes talk, rabbits chew their cud, bats lay eggs, insects have four legs, the fur colouration aspects of goats can be manipulated using an ocular -genetic technique...:

...and that Pi = exactly 3.
Destroyed your own argument, Bible, and beliefs , much?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
