The literal/non-literal stance on the Bible often seems to act as a stand-in for the accurate/inaccurate controversy. If one person says the Bible is inaccurate, another will invariably claim that only the literal interpretation appears inaccurate. It would be my hope that if there were a God, and that God felt belief should be the deciding factor between an eternity such as that attributed to heaven verses one attributed to Hell, he would be far more literal and clear about the intent. There are at least hundreds of intepretations and likely many thousands. It seems a poor way to provide a message.miniverchivi said:...because some people are taught that a book is infallible, and they completely write off any theory that goes against it, whether it be logical or illogical.
People need to realize that their relationship with their creator is not affected by whether or not the old testament literal.
that's just my take.
12-year-old thinks she knows more biology than the biologists... this has got to be a joke. (Poe's Law hurr)Nevaeh07 said:Excuse me but what evidence supports it. I have never seen any fact in evolution that does not have a missing link. And I am not scared of Evolution. I just know it's wrong. And I shall not lower my standards to meet yours and other evolutionists. Such as that one cave that they claim they found human tools and monkey skulls in. But they forgot one crushall element, THERE WAS HUMAN SKULLS AND BONES IN THERE AS WELL. Therefore it was obveusly a place that they ate monkey brains. Which is a scienctific fact. Thank you very much.

Please give us an example of a "fact in evolution that does not have a missing link." Also, explain how you "know" that evolution is wrong. Is it because mom and dad told you it was wrong?Nevaeh07 said:Excuse me but what evidence supports it. I have never seen any fact in evolution that does not have a missing link.

In the story of "The Emperor's New Cloths" it was a child who spoke the obvious " Emperor was naked" while the wise men was going along with the King. We adults often played games as well, often deceiving ourselves in which a child's honestly sometimes will reveal the truth.RoboMastodon said:12-year-old thinks she knows more biology than the biologists... this has got to be a joke.

Not a valid parallel, Smidlee. Science requires education, and those parading ignorance of science as wisdom are comparable to the vain emporer, not the child.Smidlee said:In the story of "The Emperor's New Cloths" it was a child who spoke the obvious " Emperor was naked" while the wise men was going along with the King.
