[QUOTE="ferrari2001"][QUOTE="WhiteSnake5000"][QUOTE="ferrari2001"] There's a difference between literally and word for word. You take everything the bible teaches us literally. But when you try to say that the bible was written as a scientific text book then you've gone a little far. It's a book that are suppose to teach us moral, social, and spiritual truths. It wasn't written to tell us how the earth rotates, the boiling point of water, and how animals evolved. Listen to the truths it teaches through the etiological stories in the first few chapters of the bible. I'm not sure what a "spiritual truth" is. Care to clarify? Any spiritual truth, is the Truth about God, his Love for us, His only son Jesus Christ, The Trinity, Truths about Heaven and Hell. A Spiritual truth is any teaching about God, the Afterlife, etc, etc. Whether you believe them or not is a completely different story. Yeah, but how can you call it truth when there's no evidence of it?
If the Bible is not meant to be taken literally. What is the point in Christianity? I really hope you don't need a book to believe in God or have good morals.

There's an awful lot of stuff in the Bible that I think most humans tend to need remedial training in. :P
