Science is based on theories. Gravity is but a theory. They call it a theory because nothing can really be "proven", so yes, we take that as truth until it is disproven. But these theories have actual statistical data backing it, it is not just a historical document stating false stories. If you even believe in gravity then you must believe in science, you can't simply say I accept this and deny that with no reason.
And the bible is a bunch of stories. Just because it contains places that were once real does not mean they were true. Just because the ugly duckling took place in fucking lake michigan doesn't mean it is not a story. And so big deal, it references something that ALREADY HAPPENED? HOLY SHIT NO WAY IT'S A MIRACLE!! How the fuck is anyone supposed to DISPROVE something that ALREADY HAPPENED?
Also, what
are you talking about no evidence for evolution?
Let me some up why evolution is true:
(when I say animals I am referring to humans, animals, mammals, etc...)
- Animals have similar bone structures, showing that they could have descended from a common ancestor
- Animals earliest stages of life, as an embryo, show outstanding similarities in their vertebrae between species
- "Survival of the Fittest", merely the idea of Evolution, having a species evolve to suit its environment, shows us why animals in different environments/continents are so different, even though they are the same type of animal (eg. a dog on the alps is going to be prepared for cold, a dog in brazil is going to be prepared for heat)
- Fossil Records. They show the transitional traits between species, which shows that species had an undesirable trait and therefore changed over many years to fix that trait (and these were found from long before your
precious bible)
Also, what the fuck are you talking about when you say the Bible 'predicted' the age of Earth that is close to science? Because clearly,
this article says that according to the bible, it is merely 6,000 years old. But
this article states that the earth is 3.9 billion years old according to science. Indeed it is hard to calculate the exact age of the Earth, but
any old fossil easily diminishes the statement that Earth is only 6,00 years old.
