Fail.
You need to take a serious look at WHY and HOW the science books all agree.
Whereas, with your doctrinal "vetting", as you put it, there's no agreement at all.
That's where there are thousands of sub-denominations, why there have been wars fought over "wrong" versions of Christianity, and why you get to play "Whack-a-Mole" (except we're the hammer and the various interpretations are the moles) any time we try to guess what your particular interpretation of the scriptures happens to be.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
