To be fair, you have to allow that if there is a scientific inaccuracy in a holy book which is considered the word of God then, unless God got the science wrong, that would be evidence against the holy book being the word of God. The problem is that even if a believer says they are open-minded in this way they don't really mean it because that would be an admission that they are willing to test God, which is contrary to faith and therefore bad. -- Stathis Papaioannou -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
