[Splendour]

Actually Madnak I think its more important to widen the search...to look at sources in addition to science...Science is in flux a lot of the time and the bible was written in an inspired sweeping vein that was more concerned with capturing moral philosophy and the interrelationships between man and man and between man and God and frequently it speaks in down to earth universal terms instead of overly analytical ones (one of the reasons for so many parables...also parables are remembered more easily than dissertations)...science seems almost incidental in the bible...Many Christians actually regard the bible as a manual for "right living" and for their ultimate plan of salvation...sort of like the owner's manual to a new automobile...We rely on it...like in a legal sense where rely means "depend on" for our critical decisions or for critical advice ...

I would also be aware of "groupthink" in an internet forum...people with like minds tend to cluster together and that will narrow your scope also...

People have free will to think things over...but there's always that element of peer pressure...To believe or not is a personal choice...
