Cashmcall. Why do you quote the Bible on Science. The Bible is not a science book and few Christians rely on it for science information. It answers the  Questions that science does not. Why we are here for example.

Here is a story of a meeting on a train.

"One hundred years ago a university student found himself seated in a train by the side of a person who seemed to be a well-to-do peasant. He was praying the rosary and moving the beads with his fingers , :Sir ,do  you still believe in such outdated things: asked the student of the old man. "Yes I do. Do you not? "asked  the man.  The student burst into a laugh and said Ï do not believe in such silly things. Take my advise. Throw the rosary out through the window, and learn what science has to say about it"  "Science?  I do not understand this science. Perhaps you can explain it to me", the man said humbly with some tears in his eyes. The student saw that the man was deeply moved. So to avoid further hurting the feelings of the man he said: please give me your address and I will send you some literature to help you on the matter: The man fumbled in the inside pocket of his coat and gave the boy his visiting card. On glancing at the card the student lowered his head in shame and become silent. On the card he read , "Louis Pasteur, Director of the Institute of Scientific Research Paris."

A few years later when  Pasteur died he held a Rosary in his hands.
