Why do Christians trust the Bible?

[Anomalocaris]

Chas and Fidel,
Insane?
Naw, that would be me saying, "I am a duck (not dick- duck)".

The standard practice of totalitarian tactics is to label anyone who disagrees with the Official line to be insane.
We have seen that over and over, doesn't matter if it is the guy who comes out saying the earth is round or those who reject emperor worship or the dissidents of communism.

In the West, anyone who rejects the priesthood of Darwin and their "Science" gets similar treatment.
Of course, you guys would never do that would you?

Thom, I agree with you.
Unregenerate minds see all kinds of contradictions in the bible.
Doesn't matter what the person calls himself who is evaluating it.
The book is largely spiritually discerned- it even says so.

What you don't seem to understand is just because you might be called insane under a totalitarian regime doesn't mean you are really not insane.

I'm pretty sure we've moved past Darwin when it comes to evolution and biology, though his findings certainly helped get the ball rolling. As for science, it's the best method of finding out how the universe works. It's certainly better than a book that says you can influence the coat patterns of livestock by putting striped rods in front of mating pairs.

You would surprised how prescient Darwin was, and as a result how many facets of evolution he had predicted that subsequent researchers thought to have been wrong, but which we have only recently, or even only now, have begun to discover had really been right. So in areas like the power of sexual selection in controlling overall evolution, we have not so much moved beyond Darwin as much as just realizing darwin had been right all alone while most so subsequent called "evolutionists" since darwin had been wrong.

In many ways Darwin was a truly intuitively perceptive genius who was at least 160 years ahead of his time. It is not often the founder of field of science proved to have been so prescient and insightful that his theories anticipated results in the field he founded - a very large field staffed by many of the greatest scientific minds I might add - by a century and a half. If anything, Darwin is underestimated by even the most fervent evolutionist.

You might say at the beginning of science of evolution, Darwin has intuited a more comprehensive and accurate overall picture of behavior of the phenomenon of evolution than vast majority of subsequent researchers, even if he didn't know the detailed mechanisms. Indeed I would say Darwin intuited a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of behavior of evolution than Einstein had understood his relativity.
