20070228 TOBS: Bible and Science: The water cycle |
The earth's amazing water cycle. Here is how Compton's
Encyclopedia describes what happens: "Water . . . evaporates from the
surface of the oceans into the atmosphere . . . Steadily moving air
currents in the earth's atmosphere carry the moist air inland. When
the air cools, the vapor condenses to form water droplets. These are
seen most commonly as clouds. Often the droplets come together to form
raindrops. If the atmosphere is cold enough, snowflakes form instead
of raindrops. In either case, water that has traveled from an ocean
hundreds or even thousands of miles away falls to the earth's surface.
There it gathers into streams or soaks into the ground and begins its
journey back to the sea."1
This remarkable process, which makes life on dry land possible, was
well described about 3,000 years ago in simple, straightforward terms
in the Bible: "All streams run into the sea, yet the sea never
overflows; back to the place from which the streams ran they return to
run again."-Ecclesiastes 1:7, The New English Bible.

Right, because humans need god to reveal to them something they can
plainly see for themselves.

The sea never overflows? Isn't that what the Noah story is all about?
And wouldn't the survivors of that tsunami a couple of years ago say
that the seas overflowed? And isn't one of the major concerns about
global warming that the polar icecaps will melt causing the oceans to
rise (overflow)?
Honestly, I don't know how anyone can promote the Bible as having
anything valid to say about anything. Not only is it contradicted by
reality but it contradicts itself, too.

===>If you guys would only realize the fact that KOHELETH (ECCLESIASTES)
was written by a Jewish philosopher versed in Epicureanism and knowledgable
about many things, including the fact that there is no afterlife, that
without
distinction, animals and humans, both good and bad, both believers and
non-believers
end up in the "realm of the dead".
So, if there is something vaguely correct about the "water cycle", it is
only because it
came from Greek SCIENCE, not from a Hebrew deity. -- L.
