I presume you don't mean the Catholic version.


Why would I have a problem with the commandments?

As I said, it is treating the Bible as a biology textbook that I have a problem with.


Incidentally, worshiping the Bible is hubris and idolatry and leads to things like the Galileo fiasco.

And denying the truth of his Word is not a good idea either

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. (Psalms 138:2 KJV)
