For those that don't know what Godwin's Law is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law

We need a new one about using the Bible in scientific discussions...Cause, I'm sorry, but the general scientific community does not accept that as proof, and guess what? Neither do a lot of other lay people, including myself. It was written a long time ago, when "science" didn't exist in the form we see today.
Now, if you have scietific "proof" (in quotes cause there's few things that are proven beyond any smidgen of doubt), like studies done by reputable institutions, or experiments, then bring 'em on. But the Bible is not a scientific textbook, it's a spiritual guide.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.
