[QUOTE="Zoii, post: 73638237, member: 391745"] The Bible's purpose is to be used as a spiritual paradigm. Its not intended to be Encylopedia Britannica, or science text, or an archaeological/geological text. Those who attempt to use it as such, then struggle to fit its words into our contemporary world with its robust understanding of the universe, physics and chemistry. Thus we fall into absurd debates over - The world flooded and killed everyone and all animal life - No it didnt...yes it did.... where's the evidence....the bible says it. Such arguments, when they have no basis in objective evidence, make Christians look like a bunch of fools who prefer to stick their head in the sand even when presented with a solid scientific platform. I prefer to be open to new evidence and hang onto the spiritual paradigm - which was the bible's intention in the first place. [/QUOTE]
