Will Newton's Laws be seen as ancient text when they become 2000 years old?
Atheists often refer to the Bible as just some ancient text therefore irrelevant and so I pose the question; What happens to the foundation of science when it meets the same fate?
This only applies to the Bible

"... letting one book from 2000 years ago rule our minds in every way" http://www.createdebate.com/debate/show/ Side: What happened to Gravity?
That atheist does not speak for the community. Also it is only noted that the book is old, because around that time, science was not a common thing. Another problem with the bible, that science will not have to worry about is, that science constantly updates it's information when anything new is learned, the same can't be said for the Bible. Sure, in 2000 years, our understanding of gravity may change, but gravity will sill exist, we may just explain how it works differently. For instance, you may be familiar with the way of explaining gravity by putting a ball on a stretched cloth, then rolling another ball into the divot made, causing an orbit of sorts. That method was dismissed when new information was discovered. It was traded for this method, and in the future if that method is discovered to be flawed, then more information is discovered, the method will be altered. Side: This only applies to the Bible

Science is built on standing on the shoulders of what has already been proven in the past. Many theories have developed from the theory of gravity that also serve to give more evidence for it being correct. What has happened to the Bible over 2000 years? It has been edited. Parts have been overwritten, books have gone missing etc. Side: This only applies to the Bible

Gravity simply ceases to exist? I'm not so sure that will be the case. I'm quite positive that gravity will still exist and we may just know more about it. We may update Newton's Laws or maybe his laws will remain the same. How do you know that gravity itself will merely cease to exist? Side: This only applies to the Bible
