"The question is then asked, how is the current form of the Bible the word of God when things that go against science are mentioned within it?"
An idea I have. Either God is uneducated and not too bright or the Bible is not the word of God.
It's obvious to me the Bible is fiction and Mr. God had nothing to do with it. It's also obvious to me the god of the gaps has run out of hiding places therefore it's not real. This problem gets worse for God with every new scientific discovery. This human progress will never end. Meanwhile the god fantasy is permanently stuck in the Dark Ages.
I recommend "GOD, The Most Unpleasant Character In All Fiction" by Dan Barker who used to be a preacher man. He eventually grew up and threw out his childish religious fantasies. Now he accepts reality.
Atheism is an acceptance of reality. Theism is a denial of reality. Take your pick.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
