The Bible contains conclusive examples of modern scientific knowledge

CircumcisionA couple of my opponent's last round statements were inaccurate."By my opponent’s own admission there are conflicting studies on circumcision however they all seem to agree on around a week"The Australasian Association of Paediatric Surgeons advise that the procedure should be performed electively after six months of age.[1] Another study says "infancy".[2] The studies do not agree on around a week, and how my opponent came to this erroneous conclusion from my sources is beyond me."The most decisive one I found said 8 days."My opponent's source is not a scientific study on circumcision but an apologetics website asserting that eight days is the best time.[3] The study cited in the blog is simply a study of Prothrombin levels. It doesn't say anything about circumcision. For what it's worth, there are several factors in clotting. Prothrombin is only one of them.[4] Simply put, my opponent cannot claim circumcision after 8 days as scientific knowledge when there is not a consensus, and no studies advocate 8 days anyhow.A supercontinent and continental driftHere is a map of the world as known to the Hebrews. Clearly, one land mass.http://en.wikipedia.org...Anyhow, as I have said, a 50/50 guess (one continent or more than one) is not conclusive evidence of knowledge.My opponent disputes my scientific papers on the age of the continents and how long humans have lived on Earth. The scientific consensus is that the continents are hundreds of millions of years old, and humans have been on Earth for about 200,000 years. My opponent is wasting his time disputing this. He cannot provide evidence that the scientific consensus is for a young earth, as no such scientific papers exist.My opponent drops the argument that the Earth would have been inhospitable had there been a global flood of Biblical proportions.All this is moot, since my opponent cannot back up his model, of a global flood causing continents to form, with peer reviewed scientific papers.HygieneWashing hands of itself does not constitute scientific knowledge. Many ancient cultures washed hands.[5][6][7][8] Genuine scientific knowledge would be knowledge of the germ theory of disease.Although there is ritual washing of hands in the Bible, there is ignorance of the germ theory of disease, and hygiene is not rigidly adhered to, as illustrated by this passage:When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at thetable. But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.Then the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? But now as for what is inside you—be generous to the poor, and everything will be clean for you.[9]This passage from the Bible makes it clear that cleanliness is a ceremonial, religious issue, not one of hygiene:Or when any of you touch any unclean thing—whether the carcass of an unclean beast or the carcass of unclean livestock or the carcass of an unclean swarming thing—and are unaware of it, you have become unclean, and areguilty. Or when you touch human uncleanness—any uncleanness by which one can become unclean—and are unawareof it, when you come to know it, you shall be guilty. Or when any of you utter aloud a rash oath for a bad or a goodpurpose, whatever people utter in an oath, and are unaware of it, when you come to know it, you shall in any ofthese be guilty. When you realize your guilt in any of these, you shall confess the sin that you have committed.And you shall bring to the Lord, as your penalty for the sin that you have committed, a female from the flock, asheep or a goat, as a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement on your behalf for your sin.[10][1] http://www.cirp.org...[2] http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...[3] http://www.apologeticspress.org...[4] http://staryweb.fmed.uniba.sk...[5] http://en.wikipedia.org...[6] http://moourl.com...[7] http://moourl.com...[8] http://www.sulabhtoiletmuseum.org...[9] Luke 11:37-41[10] Leviticus 5:2-6
