I'd like to know if you have read Genesis for yourself and whether or not you believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible word of God?
Yes I have, many times. Inspired by God? Yes, but not any more than your post to me was inspired by God. Infallible? No. I've no reason to believe that anything involving fallible humans can be anything else. But I still don't understand why that's relevant.
Yes.
No.
I would ask you: "Is the Bible an infaillible doorstop?"
The point is, the Bible may be infaillible, or not infaillible depending on what use to which you put it.
The Bible is not a math textbook, not a history textbook, not a biology textbook. If you put it to that use, it is your error, not the Bible's error, and not G-d's error. To use the Bible incorrectly should be close to blasphemy, if you are a Christian. If the Bible is a product of the Holy Spirit, then misuse of the Bible would be perilously close to "Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit".
Right?
