Phrasing - plagiarized?[edit]

However, the Bible says specifically to wash under "running water." Keep reading down Leviticus 15, it explains how to finish this sterilization process. "...and bathe his flesh in running water,and he shall be clean. On the eighth day, he shall take to turtledoves, or two pigeons, and come before the Lord unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation and give them unto the priest, and the priest shall offer them, one for suffering, one for burnt offering, and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord for his issue." Semmelweis did not make his discoveries based on the Bible, because washing your hands prior to chopping up dead burnt pigeons to appease some desert god is more voodoo than medicine.

Is it just me, or does this sound uncomfortably similar in wording to Thunderf00t's response to (VFX quoting) the same? I can't find the video right now, but I'm pretty sure I remember that last clause verbatim. Sake Fueled (talk) 03:45, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

The second half of the very last line resembles TF from his response video to VFX. TF challenged VFX to bring forth scientific foreknowledge, and (surprise, surprise) VFX used this crap. TF responded by calling it "more voodoo than medicine." Feredir28 (talk) 03:53, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Copypastaing this to mainspace[edit]

This looks well-done; but it only gets linked to from one source. Since the user appears long-gone, asking them for permission probably won't work. I've moved the text of the article to Scientific Facts in the Bible: 100 Reasons to Believe the Bible is Supernatural in Origin. FuzzyCatPotato™ (talk/stalk) 15:39, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

I might actually have to thank Ray Comfort for making this book...[edit]

Because if he didn't publish it, I would have never gotten it as a gift from my parents. This book was what started my doubts taht Christianity was true, which, over several years, caused me to become an atheist.
