Good points. No, I am not suggesting flawed interpretations of the Bible should be propped up. There is much that can be learned from studying God's creation, AND how to "rightly divide the word of truth." The church has made mistakes and errors, as have scientists and scientific establishments.

Do you accept the Bible as divine revelation, and, if so, what does it say to you that you can "believe?"

I don't believe the Bible is divine revelation. I note that those who claim to be Christians appear to be divided between some who accept evolution and others who reject it. That is why I characterise the "evolution true/false" dispute as an inter-denominational dispute of Christians (and indeed an inter-denominational dispute in *some* other religions too, such as Islam). There is not a corresponding dispute within science nor within all religions. There was a dispute within science when the theory was first proposed, and as the evidence rolled in the dispute died away.
