I have no doubts. The purpose of publishing the Word is to save souls. I believe we can save more souls by aligning the Word with God’s laws of physics and everyday observations. College students can see that there is pottery from thousands of years BC, they can also see how the Green River, for instance, has cut through thousands of feet of rock. How many college students would be convinced by me going in front of them and telling them that all this happened in a few hundred years. No souls saved is my guess. On the other hand with a bit of physical study, a bit of biblical study, and a bit of spiritual guidance we can make it all align neatly. God made the earth and He has been on the throne throughout the earth’s history, He’s made no mistakes in the bible, it’s just up to us to put it together to save as many of His children as possible. He gives us that responsibility so that we can truly be part of the eternity.

I detect that because of your education, you have a higher respect for man-achieved knowledge than I do.

As for me, I believe each "man-made advancement" in the past several hundreds of years (and perhaps throughout history) has been through Godly inspiration, tireless effort to follow through on the God-breathed idea, and with God's blessings.

Not all ideas have come from God or events caused by God, evidenced by His allowing Satan to continue his destructive works to eradicate godly men from the Earth...for God's Own reasons...and yet, God has never once relinquished control of anything or any situation. He alone is God and there is none other.

And lastly, I think of the Word of God as so very much more than printed words on pieces of paper or shown on an LCD screen. The Word of God is a Person with a Voice, the Lord Jesus Christ, alive and ready to appear on Earth again, this time to rule decisively, as soon as Our Heavenly Father sends Him with His saints and angels.

All of the Holy Scriptures (Books of the Holy Bible) point to Christ and are regarding Him in one way or another. Many folks, to their own detriment, still refuse to believe the Lord Jesus Christ is indeed the Son of the Living God and IS God.
