Is there any evidence....
Is there any evidence in the Bible that 'science' even exists?

Re: Is there any evidence....
If by 'evidence' you mean 'Bible' than Yes.
Otherwise: Blow me.

The Bible is not a science book, yet it is scientifically accurate. We are not aware of any scientific evidence that contradicts the Bible.

Re: Is there any evidence....
If you believe the KJV, these are the only two mentions of science I could find in the bible:
1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
1:3 And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes; 4 Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
I like the 1 Timothy passage, it shows not only anti-intellectualism, but a desire to prevent dissenting ideas reaching the faithful. They knew full well even then that facts are faith's worst enemy.

I've decided to do a reverse DB.

That is correct. It is not the opinion of one isolated person. But It is the opinion of one million deluded inviduals.How Do You Know The Bible Is True?
If you like reading books, a good one that addresses the facts that support Christianity is Know Why You Believe by Paul Little. There is an advantage to a book—it does not change as a page on the Internet can. Plus, a million copies of Paul Little’s book have been printed (about 40 times the number required to be called a “best seller”) which proves it is not an isolated person’s opinion.

If they give away a million copies of a book it is NOT a best-seller, it's a best-pesterer.

Re: Is there any evidence....
From a page linked on the page that was linked to before...Please remember one thing, these pictures are not evidence. Printing them for more than a hundred years does not change that, either. Anyone can construct a table or draw a picture and propose a theory, but that does not prove the theory.
That is comedy gold!
Talk about double standards, haha.

Genesis 25:7-9 Each star is different from the next one. Of course. They clearly knew and understood that each star was a big ball of hydrogen fusing into helium with many of them harbouring solar systems.
