**Indeed. It WAS clear, to those who spoke the various languages that the 
Bible was written in. That would be Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. Some has been 
successfully translated into modern languages and some has not. Some 
passages have been removed and/or politically censored over the years. All 
relates to various historical activities of the time, peotry and philosophy. 
None relate to any form of science.

**Some is. Some is confusing. Some is utterly incomprehensible and 
misleading. Some is downright contradictory. IOW: It is a mess.

**YOU were the one who claimed that the Bible tabled the "science" of a 
thermo-nulcear blast. If you think it does anything of the sort, then 
present your evidence.
