I will scientifically prove the existence of God to you

[AV1611VET]

Out of interest again @AV1611VET, just a fun verse Kings 7:23-26 (KJV): And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. This means that pi would be = 3 (I assume you're familiar with how the dimensions of circles work) and unfortunatly this isn't true. Is the bible wrong or are all circles wrong?

1 Kings 7:23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

"He" in that verse is Hiram; and note his credentials:

1 Kings 7:13 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
14 He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.

When a draftsman makes a draft of something, he sometimes stamps it NTS (or Not To Scale).

This narration of what Hiram built is not to scale.

Else that verse would be a lot longer, depending on how many decimal places he takes it to.

I've explained your entire list already please don't repeat it (feel free to go back and go over my explanations). They are all completly explainable on an atheist framework.

Your plea will go unanswered.

Wow I didn't know sin could do that? You'd think all that pesky sin people have done in the past 1000 years would have caused more of those especially with all these woke satan worshipers running around now but I guess God must have decided they looked ugly on his favourite planet.

Genesis 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

When God first created the earth's landmass, it was one supercontinent.

He called it "Eden," but academia calls it "Pangaea."

Later, when God separated Eden into five continents, that's when the Grand Canyon probably came about.

No I was just pointing out there are other interpretations.

Yes indeed.

Academia has turned Genesis 1 & 2 into a Heinz 57 variety of interpretations.

 

[AV1611VET]

No idea why that needs to be QED'd since I'd have thought that much was obvious, but all right.

Thanks for demonstrating my point that you will not give us your interpretation of anything.

But you'll sure critique others, won't you?

... but I did give my interpretation. I said "I don't hold to a literal interpretation of the Bible. That's all need be said." That is an interpretation.

Sorry to bother you, out of interest what religion do you follow (as I'm sure you're aware it's listed as "Other Religion")?

It's not a "religion" per say. The trajectory I follow are what's called the the wisdom traditions which are the deeper mystical aspects of the various religions around the world. But also I tend to more or less lean towards a type of Universal Sufism, which isn't a formal "religion" at all.

Yes I agree that science contradicts the bible and the bible is wrong on things or else I would be a Christian.

My take on it is that science only contradicts tightly literal interpretations of the Bible. If one accepts that, like almost every culture with writing (and probably every culture, period), the language of those who wrote the Bible was rich in metaphor and allusion and parable, interwoven stories and tales to create a cohesive people; in that case I think there is no significant conflict. Did you have an example or two in mind?

Matthew 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
