The sphere of the Bible is things of the spirit and how the supernatural interacts with the natural. This is a sphere about which science is incapable of speaking. People of faith who are knowledgeable about science usually only doubt science when it reaches beyond its sphere of the natural world and begins to make claims about things that belong to the sphere of the Bible.

The point of the linked article is to articulate more clearly how people are pushing science beyond its appropriate sphere when they claim that its conclusions somehow contradict the Bible.

good explanation

All I know is everyone has to believe in something, I believe that My God, The God spoken of in the Holy Bible, that sent his Son (he himself in human form) to die for us and wash away our sins in his own blood is the one and only. With that said another thing I believe is I'm going fishing tomorrow!!!

Agreed, but I only wish I could go fishing tomorrow.

That's the beauty of Science, as new information is discovered, often due to technological advances, a new understanding of nature is found that replaces what was previously thought to be true. Think of how the Germ Theory of Disease by Pasteur replaced what was thought to be true beforehand. Now that particular theory is now accepted as truth as it has been tested over and over again. But that theory could be changed if new information is gained.

Two great things about the United States.

1 You have the right to believe whatever you want.

2 We have laws to keep religion out of government.

Think about Pasteur's experiment that disproved the theory of spontaneous generation and showed that life does not come from non-life and how experimental proof would be required to refute his findings.

It's funny how when I was in school they taught us that heat rises. I debated my science teacher on that one asking him why ice floats if heat rises. He didn't answer me

It's all about density. Hot air is less dense than cold air, so hot air rises above cold air. Ice and water are not quite the same as hot and cold air, but it still relies on density.

Ice is colder than the water it is floating in, it shouldnt rise to the top - debunks that myth about heat rising

Also makes no sense that ice can float on water. They are the same thing

Ah I get it now!

If only we could keep government out of religion.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic but I didn't catch it at first.
