I think these questions make it sound like there is little gray area. At least question 2 assumes that science is able to disprove something that has a basis in something that is out of the realm of science.
As somebody that is not religious, but does believe there was something that started it all, and believes that something was instilled in humanity that sets us apart from the rest of the animals I will say this. I believe the bible as a book is a collection of stories that did occur at some level or another, and the people in those stories believed that what was occurring was divine intervention. And that no manner of science will ever be able to prove or disprove any of it. I also accept that the stories are very relative to the rather small understanding of the size of the world that the people possessed in that time. I also believe that various translations may have been interpreted by people with some sort of agenda. > -----Original Message----- > From: Tony [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 1:44 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Question for the Faithful > > 1. do you fully accept the bible as the word of God, straight up. > Divine intervention between God and the authors who were possessed by > the Holy Spirit and then wrote about it? > > 2. do you fully accept the idea of creation? > > just wondering. > > or > > 1. do you feel like it was written more as a moral standard with hopes > that everyone would follow it so that we have some modicom of peace > and happiness and global civility?
