Science and the Bible: Do They Contradict Each Other?

Can science and the Bible go together? Does science confirm it? Bible skeptics time and again declare: "Science and the Bible cannot go together, for religion is the enemy of science!" Well, let's get some things straight.

It's easy to see how science and the Bible do not contradict each other, but rather compliment each other. Here are the Bible references in NIV (emphases added):

• Isaiah 40:22
• "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth...."
• Jeremiah 33:22
• "...As countless as the stars in the sky...."
• Job 28:25
• "...He established the force of the wind...."
• 1 Corinthians 15:41
• "...And star differs from star...."
• Job 38:19-20
• "What is the way to the abode of light? ...Can you take them to their places?"
• Job 26:7
• "...He suspends the earth over nothing."
• Ecclesiastes 1:6
• "The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes...."
• 2 Samuel 22:16
• "The valleys of the sea were exposed...."
• Jonah 2:6
• "To the roots of the mountains I sank down...."
• Leviticus 17:11
• "For the life of a creature is in the blood...."
• Hebrews 11:3
• "...The universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible."
• Job 38:16
• "Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea...?"

So it turns out the the Bible does go hand-in-hand with science! Those Bible skeptics have a lot of explaining to do! But please note that I'm not claiming that the Bible is or should be a science textbook, but I am saying that science confirms it.
