Sorry what knowledge in the bible?
Have you seen star trek II the wrath of khan?
here khan is quoting moby dick (sort of) – does this mean khan is using “knowledge” from moby dick?

The confusion is all yours.....once again
A piece of literature does not have to contain truths for it to be literature.
Literature can be fiction or non-fiction.
The bible has for better or worse, been a part of the history of humanity for the last few thousand years, along with all the other holy scriptures from numerous other religions for a lot lot longer than that.
A lot of history has been recovered from religious texts such as the bible, however nothing regarding the supernatural claims in these texts have ever been found to have any substance.

Could you perhaps point out an example of where someone has done this with a verse from the Bible?
War or Peace?
EXO 15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
ROM 15:33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Who is the father of Joseph?
MAT 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
LUK 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli.

Woooosh, another pseudo-christian completely ignoring the content of my post to tell me that I missed your point even though I addressed it quite clearly. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose, kiddo.
Your OP is terrible for one simple reason: pseudo-Christians are just as guilty, if not more guilty, of taking scriptures out of context and pushing it as if it holds any value. A good example would be quoting levitican law for anti-homosexuality, when the verses that surround it outline kosher laws, pro-slave standards, murdering prostitutes, etc..
But wooooooosh, the truth will be ignored by "you of faith" (blasphemers) as if ignorance is your area of employment.
What does the Bible say about hypocrites that warp His word to push personal agendas, again?edit on 3-8-2011 by TheOrangeBrood because: (no reason given)
You are proving my OP thanks! The kosher/levitical laws were only for the ancient Hebrews but you seem to think we are under them.

I know a few, but I do consider them to be delusional. But how people feel about a text says nothing about its credibility.
There are many many books throughout history that people have been willing to die for, not just the one you subscribe to
Perhaps it would be easier for him if he practised a real science (like Physics) instead of one of the "Life Sciences".
