“”Really? Where is the periodic table contained? Maxwell’s equations explained? The laws of thermodynamics detailed?””
The Bible teaches so much more than that. In fact, those laws are just a small part of the knowledge that avails to one if they can tap into the Divine Library available to those who follow the teachings and grow. Your intellectual understanding is just a small part of the process. It’s so much more than that.
I don't deny any of that, but the fact remains: it's not a science textbook, any more than it is a "Learning French 101" textbook.
