The Bible mentions things called “numbers”: 3, 7, 40, etc. Furthermore, it name actions, or “operations”, that can be performed on these “numbers”: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Modern mathematics confirms the existence of not only these “numbers”, but also the “operations” that govern the manipulation of these “numbers”. With science validating the claims of the Bible, is it not clear that it must be true?
No, no. Numbers are axiomatic and thus not proofable in the real world. So this really disproves the Bible. Guess we’re all going to hell then 
And I hear that the Bible has these things called “words”, which were recently discovered by theoretical linguists 
But I heard that one was the loneliest number, didn’t I???
oh, but if you need PROOF that the Bible is real, then what do you need Faith for? Ok, you need Faith to play on the CW stations, but for what else???
my head is hurting now, I think I’ll go lay down…
I know the Bible is real because it keeps following me from hotel room to hotel room. It’s spooky as all hell!!
But can you prove that my high school math book was real?
Not only does the Bible have “numbers,” it also has “Deuteronomy” and a bunch of other books as well. <rimshot>
Which clearly predicts the existance of deuterium.
And this whole “Trinity” thing–a thinly veiled reference to tritium.
See?
…not to mention Leviticus which obviously is a cleverly concealed how-to levitation manual.
Then there’s Genesis, which predicted the rise of the console gaming industry. Or the Psalms, which prefigured the rise of mobile computing. Palm Pilots, no less. And then there’s the people who claim that reading these books (Bible [NT and OT], Torah, Koran, etc.) according to a ‘formula’ can predict the future. For example, reading every fifth word on every other page will give you the names of the next fifteen presidents in order (to invent an example). How ‘bout that kind o’ crazy!
and Exodus, which clearly predicts that a man named “Odus” will bve divorced. Lesson: never name your son Odus
Too all you Republicans: the census is biblically based. In fact, the entire book of Numbers dealt with an exact count of people and livestock of every tribe before they went out and invade Canaan.
Oh by the way, I used a Bible code on the verse that prohibits men from wearing women’s clothing, and women from wearing men’s clothes, and came up with “Dennis Rodman marries self.”
it only does that because it is lonely. If you stop and read it all, cover to cover, it will never do that again.
I’ve heard some interesting attempts to get me to read that Bible, but that takes the cake
Yo really ought to read it, Myrr, it contains ever so many interesting and useful things.
For instance, Psalm 147 tells us that God doesn’t get any pleasure from the strength of a horse, but He does get pleasure from making people fear Him.
Remind me to recognize Him next time I see a guy in a fright mask at the racetrack.
Well, I have to disagree with the OP.
The Bible has proven that Pi is equal to 3 and mathematics tells me differently.

ATHENA HAD AN EROTIC DREAM ABOUT ME!
I hear this frequently & I’m curious to see the actual text. Where do I find it? (before someone makes the joke…“duh, in the Bible”)
Quote, to save me typing…
BTW, I think that Rabbi was tweaking his numbers to make his numerology come out right.
I get:
3.141509433962264150943396226413
So, 3.141509 not 3.14159
Sigh. And something else that occurred to me after reading the scornful tone of the person I quoted. Sure, it’s within 5% accuracy, but why did they mention the circumference anyway, unless it was felt it was important? The bath was obviously a hemisphere, with a diameter of 10 cubits and height of 5 cubits. We could easily have derived the circumference from the diameter. So it seems that either they were into emphasizing inaccurate redundancies, or they (or God) had no knowledge of the ratios of a circle (or sphere).
