yeah
really soon
no, really
And it will be proved that the sun revolves around the earth, that people can rise form the dead, and a man can find out if his wife is cheating on him by forcing her to drink a cursed beverage that will make her a leper if she is guilty.
That's not how Science works. You never "prove" anything. First, you collect Facts (loosely defined as observations repeated often enough that reliable predictions can be made). Then you form a Hypothesis to explain those facts and an Experiment to test that Hypothesis--but both the Hypothesis and the Experiment must be designed in such a way that the Experiment can prove the Hypothesis WRONG. Logically speaking, a Hypothesis can never be proven correct. If the Hypothesis stands up to repeated, independent, and varied Experiments, it may become accepted as a possibility. A group of Hypotheses that work together is generally known as a Theory. A Law is simply a set of generalizations that can be drawn from those Theories, but it is still hypothetical.
But anyway, the Bible will NEVER be directly involved with Science. No "hypotheses" can be legitimately formed because the "facts" are incoherent. Half the Bible directly contradicts with the other half and any "reasoning" done to support the claims made in it rely on a series of convoluted logical fallacies.
Besides, most of the major Scientific claims of the Christian Bible have already been debunked, whether from a glaring lack of evidence or mountains of contradictory evidence, or from physical or logical impossibility.
EDIT
@ G Zimmer:
"...that people can rise form the dead..."
I don't know about that one. It could be medically possible, though probably not in my lifetime. However, should we achieve that ultimate medical feat, I think it would disprove the whole concept of an afterlife. Or at least knock "God" down another major peg. "So what if Christ was reanimated? So was I! What makes him so special?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thousands and thousands of years later, the word of your perfect God, by which we are supposed to lead our lives, will finally be shown to have some validity. About time. Good luck with that.
Why not hold your breath while you're waiting?
Get someone to post the video on YouTube, so we can all share the fun.
The chosen one is right. Man, I told Chuck he should have left out all that crap about talking snakes, flying zombies, virgin births, worldwide floods, magical transmutation, mud-pie humans and flaming shrubbery. Why couldn't he stick to observable reality, like the Bible?
The Church of England were way ahead of you:

And since several months ago...:

...they've added the final chapter to that which even they openly admit is just fable & metaphor.
The authors of "On the Origin of Species" and "A Brief History of Time" buried & memorialised in Westminster Abbey. The C-of-E chose wisely.
You have chosen... poorly .
Confused?
