Why would science need to explain anything religious? Science doesn't need to explain religion because as far as science is concerned, god doesn't exist untill there is some evidence of one. Asking science to explain religion is like asking science to explain the invisible dragon that flies around and grants people's wishes. There's no reason to come to the conclusion that one exists.
Religion is completely faith-based and doesn't require any proof. So you should understand why a lot of people would choose not to believe in it.
Let me ask you a question. What is your take on scientology? What about Roman and Greek mythology?

QT, if the stuff in the Bible were truth, shouldn't scientific evidence support it?

Actually it does. Certain stuff in the bible is based of true events, and some believe its a more Fantasy version of Real life. Think of it like 300. 300 was accurate but it was extremely stylized.They said Jesus didn't make bread, but showed better farming techniques that made bread and stuff much more viable and quantity. They say him helping, could of been a early form of medicine lost do 2 the dark ages. You know, cause the library of knowledge was destroyed, and the fact that everything during that time stopped.
QuietTruth:
Yeah I do think that there's crazy evidence in The Bible. Like Rapsodie said about the world being flat. That's what Christopher Columbus's era believed. Yet. The Book of Isaiah.

He's tellin' you the Earth's a fuckin' circle. How would they know, right? How many years later did they think the world was flat?
Doesn't Science believe we formed from a microscopic organism off the ground? Genesis.
--- Quote ---7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

As Science tells us, dust in our house is mainly made up human skin cells. Which ARGUABLY proves we from dust. And they didn't have microscopes back than when The Bible was written to tell us that. They said we was from dust. Decades later a scientist took out his microscope, looked under it, and well we'll be damned, this dust contains dead skin cells.

Why are you comparing God to an invisible dragon. There hasn't been a book around for decades written about an invisible dragon.

Lol, the earth isn't a circle, its a sphere. A circle is still flat.
Isaiah also says: "He will gather the outcasts of Israel and bring together the scattered people of Judah from the four corners of the earth." Since when does a circle have four corners?
If there was a book written about an invisible dragon, would you believe in it then? How does writing a book about something validate it? What about the thousands of years prior to when the bible was put together?
My point about Scientology is that why should you expect people to give your beliefs any credit when you do the same thing to something like Scientology? To an atheist, Christianity and Scientology are both the same thing: religions. How is Scientology any less valid than Christianity, apart from one being around longer?
