Hasn’t science really proven the Bible wrong?

Summary:
Actually, science and the Bible have tremendous harmony.  While there are many skeptics that love to claim ‘apparent’ problems, most are not really willing to hear the simple answers.  The Bible actually got right the science topics it mentions before scientists did.  Many of the founding fathers of key scientific principles had thought inspirations from what they found in the Bible.  Since science is a favored topic here, “A little more” is actually a whole page of “More Details” and you are encouraged to take your time going through it.

As with most of the pages on this site, remember to review the verses on the bottom of the page.  Never rely on just what people say – see what God says.
