quote:Christians take the Bible to be absolutely true.
That is a broad brush and is a little unfair.
While Bill Gray's Church of Holy Idiots may teach that, I dare say that most modern religions do not. The bible is a guidebook of good and evil deeds and timeless moral lessons. It take spiritual discernment from those possessed with the Holy Spirit to properly identify the lessons.
It also take a bit of intelligence to realize that the book of Genesis was an example of the flawed science of the time. It was an attempt to uncover our origins using the only available tools of the times: Our noggins. Those who say the bible is inerrant and without flaw are just stupid. Sorry, no other way to describe that. The bible is filled with errors because it was transcribed by man. If it were written by the hand of God Himself it would be a much different book.
Anything Man touches is forever spoiled.
Anyhoo we now have many more tools available for us to discover the secrets of Heaven. Many religions would have us abandon these new tools and revert to the primitive ways of our biblical ancestors. Im surprised BG even knows how to use a computer.
