philcoderson Teaching creationism as scientifically valid now banned in all UK public schools

"The rest of the article dealt with interpreting biblical statements to fit the current undeniable understanding of the universe.", (How do i correctly put a quote here in the replies?)

In Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth…

This is written before any scientist can confirm it. Thats not interpretation, its a clearly stated fact, "circle". And he points out if other religion gets it wrong.

I scanned the link you posted, found it actually is confirming one of the arguments on the blog post, about the Piltdown man Hoax. And it says in the link you posted that science corrects errors. On the blog post link i posted, one of the arguments is that in the bible it is written the shape of the earth (circle)

It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth… ISAIAH 40:22

One of the argument of the writer of the blog post, in his other articles (e.g http://esoriano.wordpress.com/2007/05/25/from-dust-to-man-a-...). is that Science and the Bible doesn't contradict each other. He points out mistakes of other religions, for the wrongful claims of other religions for example that the earth is only 6000 year old or so.

philcoderson Philippines: The country that never sleeps

I'm a Filipino Developer, this is actually an alternative for us developers in the Philippines, instead of going abroad working overseas which will be very far from our families, we got a lot of opportunities from foreigners who wants for outsource their development projects, it earns us quite substantial income, though its not as high as when your really working abroad, being with your family and seeing your children grow up mostly makes up for it. Staying up late is not that hard as me myself is most productive at night when kids are asleep. I know most programmers share this work time.
