A clarification: the remark about 'lipstick on a pig' was not meant to suggest that Biblical stories don't have many valuable qualities. My only point was that such stories are not, nor were they ever intended to be, scientific theories.
But "just to stir the pot" just consider how you might define a "scientific fundamentalist"--they don't know when to quit being pedantic, in all the wrong times and places.
I heard a story once about someone breaking up with a too-academic girlfriend; during the obligatory "I'm sorry it's not working out" dinner she spent the entire time pontificating about insurance fraud in ancient Greece.
But as Dilbert creator Scott Adams pointed out,
"Everyone is someone else's weirdo!"
Cheers!
