When has Science Ever been proven wrong by the Bible?

The Watchtower Sunday made a claim to the effect that when science conflicts with the Bible, the Bible has ALWAYS been proven to be correct.
If I had been there, I would have asked "could you provide some specific examples"?
I'm thinking that reality is actually the other way, Science always disproves the Bible.

The statement was designed for those who wouldn't dare question it.

If you question the Bible and find it to be unworthy of your confidence then 'you weren't of our sort anyway.'

It works quite beautifully.

Well, science says evolution is correct.

The Bible says it's not.

The Reasoning Book quoted some creation-believing physicist so that disproves the evolution theory.

It was all on the Theocratic Ministry School this week.

It's the first of a 3-part series of 5 minute talks.

Hope you can make it.

Yes, the flood fable does it for me. I don't know about people then, but people now could not possibly have lived in a 900F degree climate. The water canopy would have done that. Also, the fish would have died from fresh/salt water mixing together for over a year that the water was flooding the whole earth. Oh, right, Noah must have had a bunch of fish bowls in the ark.

What do you mean by Bible? Only God knows what is written in the Bible means, and that is why Bible meaning always has to be adjusted when science shows the Bible seems to be in error. Science does not play on the meaning of words.

Only God knows what is written in the Bible means,

So God had the Bible written for Himself?

The JW's would tell you about rabbits chewing the cud or something like that.
They would go on about the flood providing more accurate answers than carbon dating
and a so-called ice age. They might talk about science thinking the earth was flat and
point to the scripture about the circle of the earth. They have their BS answers, but they
think they can answer that.

Some would go on to talk about the order of creation, sudden appearance of species and
how they were created according to their kind, all contrary to evolution. Then they will
point to science never being able to reproduce life in controlled experiments because God
is the only one who can create life itself.

So God had the Bible written for Himself?

I think He was bored and needed something to read during his day of rest. What could man possibly write that would hold his attention? I mean, He's *God*!

The WTBTS says science is always proven wrong by the Bible!

Borg: God created everything.

Questioner: How do we know?

Borg: Because it says right here. <holds up a NWT bible>

Questioner: But.....

Borg: Take a look at this. <holds up Creation book, published by the WTBTS>

Questioner: Ok but scientists have found a lot of evolutionary evidence.

Borg: They're wrong. They're always wrong.

Questioner: Who says.

Borg: God says.

Questioner: Where's the proof.

Borg: Here. <holds up NWT bible>

ad infinitum

Well done.

Just throw in a little "just look how screwed up the world is" for good measure.

"Mankind can't solve our problems, so that means that God has to do something, and soon!"
