"Hey - if it feels better for you to put people who ask questions in some kind of box with a label on it, fine."
I am not referring to people who ask questions - asking questions is fine - ask all the questions you want. Your questions are most welcome. (I pinged you because you were active in this discussion.)
What I am referring to is a subset of Christian's who promote a specific methodology of Biblical interpretation - one that I find to be severely deficient.
"I 'll never study it with more interest than a spectator watching the discovery channel, but I still find some of the questions are perplexing ones, and the discussion interesting."
In all humility, may I impress upon you that is not a spectator sport. The message of the Bible and it's historical veracity is a matter of life and death - to you and to me personally.
God, in the person of Jesus Christ, has extended to you the offer of full forgiveness for your sins and the promise of a restored relationship with Him which will last forever.
Jesus was physically and spiritually tortured beyond human comprehension to be able to freely offer this to you. To remain a "neutral observer" is an implicit rejection of His offer.

In all humility, may I impress upon you that is not a spectator sport.By "it" I merely meant these questions of the historical proofs for the flood, but I get your point.
