Unfortunately, a lot of the concepts in the Bible are based on ancient mythology that doesn't fit the findings of science.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
This being so, it follows that mythology ought not to take the prominent place that is too often assigned to it in the scientific study of ancient faiths.
Science is only truly consistent with an atheistic worldview with regards to the claimed miracles of the gods of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
The Bible is full of dubious scientific impossibilities, from Jonah living inside a whale, to the sun standing still in the sky for Joshua.
But because we live in an age of science, we have a preoccupation with corroborating our myths.
Many of us view the bible and other religious teachings as mythology.
Science must begin with myths, and with the criticism of myths.
Science has nothing in common with religion. Facts and miracles never did and never will agree.
I think it's unfortunate when people say that there is just one true story of science. For one thing, there are many different sciences, and historians will tell different stories corresponding to different things.
Those theologians who are beginning to take the doctrine of creation very seriously should pay some attention to science's story.
My view is that science only has something to say about a very particular notion of God, which goes by the name of 'god of the gaps'.
