Evidently the bible was written before the advent of the scientific method.

I should probably try and be less offensive in my writing, but having escaped Christianity myself I've grown a bit annoyed by the hypocrisy I see from my religious brethren. If you want to delve more into the seedy underworld of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition, check out out this excellent series over at the Evangelical Atheist: http://evangelicalatheist.com/category/god-is-a-dick/page/6/ Thanks for the kind words John.
