Evolution and the bigbang theory are compatibel with the Bible.

I understand my opponent's point that the Bible was not meant to be a book primarily explaining the scientific truths of our world, but the fact remains that it has many factual innacuracies. For example, as I mentioned earlier, the problem of plants being created by god before the sun came into existence.I noticed that my opponent used an argument written in the comments about the Hebrew language (I have no problem with this, by the way), in "You know the genesis account is not meant to be a blow by blow accurate picture of the process of creation and the development of the universe after the big bang, the biggest problem is that the Hebrew language itself is entirely unable to express such notions with a vocabulary of only about 4,000 words which all that was needed to describe the pastoral economy and a small body of civil and religious laws. When Genesis 1 says that "God Created the heavens and the earth" this is the language that best describes "In the beginning God created the universe". There simply is no word for "Universe" in Hebrew." Can he provide a source for this knowledge of the language? In addition, regardless of the semantic constraints on Hebrew, the fact is that the bible contains an incorrect piece of information in its narrative of creation, in stating that water existed before light did.Not only several of the events described in the old testament in a conflicting order with the scientific model given by the big bang theory, but the timescale given by the Bible is vastly innacurate too, as shown here in Exodus 20:11"The reason is that in six days the Lord made everything- the sky , the earth, the sea and everything in them. On the seventh day he rested. So the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."The Bible states that the world was created in six days, in stark contrast to the billions of years over which the Big Bang Theory shows the Solar system and the Earth were formed. Now many would argue that here 'days' refers to a length of time, and not 24 hours. However, firstly if one consults the septuagint, the ancient greek translation of the old testament (the earliest Biblical language of which I have sufficient knowledge to comment on properly), they find it uses the word "O69;μ^1;ραις"- "O69;μ^1;ρα" means 'day' or 'daylight' rather than any connotation of a long period of time (the Greeks had another word for 'age' "αιων". Secondly, I have already shown that it is scientifically impossible for the 'third day' (creation of plants) to have come before the fourth (creation of the sun and moon)"The last problems that my opponent has is that mean are created apart from the other animals what is in fact supporting evolution because mean only came after the first animals mean are very late in the evolution so animals were created bevore humans."My contention is not with the ordering of events here, but the way in which humans were set out especially apart from other animals, as in genesis 1:28-"God blessed them (humans) and said, "Have many children and grow in number. Fill the earth and be its master. Rule over the fish in the sea and over the birds in the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth"This, again conflicts with the theory of evolution, as according to the latter, we are merely another species of animal, who evolved on one particular branch of the 'tree' of evolution. "Also my opponent states that mean always had a physical bodie what is wrong .adam and eve only noticed they had bodies after they sined proving that they had a body after the first sinn as punishment."To be honest, I do not think that one can draw from Genesis 3:7 whether Adam and Eve had physical bodies before eating the fruit- I think it's a matter of interpretation. On the other hand, the fact that Eve was able to eat a piece of fruit from a tree suggests that she had a physical body.ConclusionRegardless of the purpose of the Bible, it contains several large inconstistencies, both in order of events, and duration of time, with the Big Bang Theory and Evolution, and is therefore in several places simply untrue.Sources:The Bible (New century version)Oxford Classical Greek Dictionaryhttp://www.ellopos.net...;
