  Science and the Bible
If you've ever come across a science text book that is 100 years old or even 20 or 30 years old it can be quite entertaining to read.
If you read a 50 year old science text you will be truly entertained by the number of things that are stated as the assured results of scientific tests which are now known to be not true.
Psalm 104:6 This was not accepted by science until 1885 when Edward Seuce, one of the first geologists to produce a geologic frame work of all the nations, showed evidence that all land surface had been covered with water.

 CO2 Science   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In the 24 March 2006 issue of Science, a number of commentaries heralded accelerating discharges of glacial ice from Greenland and Antarctica, while dispensing dire warnings of an imminent large, rapid and accelerating sea-level rise (Bindschadler, 2006; Joughin, 2006; Kerr, 2006; Kennedy and Hanson, 2006).
For the present and immediate future, therefore, we have no choice but to stick with what the existent data and analyses suggest, i.e., that cumulatively since the early 1990s, and conservatively (since the balance is likely still positive), there has been no net loss of mass from the Greenland ice sheet.
The set of Science papers and associated news reports also make much of recent ice discharges from Antarctica, particularly along the Antarctic Peninsula, which has warmed more than any other place on earth over the past fifty years.

 Georgia FACES - FOCUS brings 'fun' science to elementary school
Say "science" to fourth-graders at Barnett Shoals Elementary School in Athens, Ga., and you might get excited accounts of making "ocean" waves or using Hula Hoops to section off schoolyard areas to count living bugs and plants.
Our students provide the teachers with a second pair of hands and a depth of science background that many elementary school teachers do not have." Since much of the science in the CAES is applied science, he said, it's easier to simplify for young students.
It made a big mess, and they loved it." The idea to pair college science students with elementary school teachers was based on Elementary Science Education Partners, a joint project of Atlanta public schools and seven Atlanta-area colleges and universities, said FOCUS coordinator Jim Spellman.
