That doesn't sound like a particularly helpful textbook, no matter what side of the argument you are on.
I've read an interesting book that scientifically explains some of the stories from Biblical times. Of course, like all scientific theories there is usually no way to prove them 100%, but I was certainly impressed by the amount of evidence collected. Might be better to start from a different book if the subject interests you (unless you'd just like a giggle, which I certainly managed to achieve by reading the blog post). ^^
Trying to argue science? What? It's not a debate, you sort of need to find something called proof and do something called research. I've heard of people using the Bible for some archaeology and a guess about some scientific event, but usually it's not useful enough to be used in place of a real science book. Like when some Chinese astronomers recorded the first supernova, we have a record of the date, a
good observation of the event, where it took place in the sky...and detailed enough for it not to be confused with another event.
I thought the moon one was absurd because one of my favorite things to read about is astronomy and that was just pathetic. Pretty sure a degree from there wouldn't be worth a paper it's printed on.
The electricity and the disclaimer lololol. Ever been struck by lightning? Why do buildings need lightning rods? Why shouldn't you drop a hair dryer in the bathtub?
