"Bin Laden makes his decisions based on his personal belief that the Koran is infallible and that, therefore, anything that conflicts with it can be ignored."

You are guilty of the same decision making. Allow me to rephrase:

Modernman makes his decisions based on his personal belief that science is infallible and that, therefore, anything that conflicts with it can be ignored.

Seems we are both close minded.

It is interesting that you imply that the Word of God is fallible and is therefore in error.

Not at all. I quite readily admit that, over time, new evidence can change or override old understandings in science.

Show me proof that we know what the word of god is, then maybe we can talk.

For a Christian, you sure have a knack for bearing false witness on others. He didn't say that. Now if you want to talk about how men have made errors in spreading the "word of god" we can continue.

I've tried to make the case that the Word of God and the Creation of God, by definition cannot be in conflict. That leaves mans interpretation as being the only source of conflict.

Either your interpretation of a few hundred words in the Bible are in error. Or science is in error in interpreting the fossil and DNA record.

Since there is a much larger amount of information contained in Gods Creation than in His Word, I trust His Creation to tell me about His Creation.

I trust His Word to tell me about other things.
