I'm not JediGirl, but I would say that makes you wise, indeed.
I have always gotten in trouble with some of the religious questions I've asked, for example, "Who made King James the arbiter of what books would remain in the Bible, and what books would be removed (i.e., the Gospel of Thomas and many, many other works from that timeframe)?"
I have undertaken a fair bit of study of the times and event surrounding what we know in the Bible, and while I'm nowhere near an authority on the subject by any means, I have to say that there is more on Heaven and Earth dear Horatio, than what is contained within the covers of the King James Bible.
It takes work, and faith - God will direct you to the appropriate scholarly works (or at least put you in touch with persons who know where to find those works) - both ancient and contemporary that provide additional insight and understanding.
