1. Why does the Bible teach that the sky is a solid dome of transparent material with water above it? Paul H. Seely, "The Firmament and the Water Above: Part I: The Meaning of raqiaà in Gen 1:6-8," Westminster Theological Journal 53:241-261 (Fall 1991), and "...Part II: The Meaning of "The Water above the Firmament" in Gen 1:6-8," 94:47-63 (1992). (The water poured through the "windows of heaven" to cause Noah's flood, and then presumably poured off the edge of the disk-shaped earth into the abyss.)
2. Why does the Bible teach that goats will have striped offspring if they see stripes when they drink at the watering trough, when this has been discredited by modern genetics?
3. Why does the Bible record scientifically impossible events as factual?
For example, the creation narrative, Noah's deluge, a solid dome over the sky, Earth supported by a foundation. Why has the evangelical church produced "Creation Science" explanations that are complete nonsense?
Why is it that none of the more rational reconciliations of science and the Bible survives scrutiny?
4. How can it be that Psalm 16 and Romans 1 teach that the creation is a reliable means of knowing God ("natural theology"), but the scientific study of biological and geological origins contradicts the creation narrative in Genesis?
Why does "natural theology" contradict "revealed theology" (the Bible)?
Is the creation bearing false witness?
Is the Bible bearing false witness?
