Not doing that at all. I was saying the modern scientific process has found many many things but not God.

The bible, or any historical work, is not a scientific piece of work. The scientific process has nothing to do with whether a historical work is wrong or invalid.

Mathematics - They have maths that explain (not perfectly) the big bang. Observation - the further something is away from us the greater its speed is so it has a greater red shift. The red shift on some objects is enormous so they are calculated as being over 12 billion light years away. Everywhere you look it shows the same thing (no WE are not at the centre of the universe, everywhere is the centre of the universe).

No but they can form amino acids. The building blocks of proteins which are the building blocks of DNA.

There is no science in the book.
