So far I reserved judgment on both counts, since you simply didn't state what you believe and what you hold to be true in lights of science, and why.
Again, sola scriptura doesn't cut it. Not by a long chalk. That can mean anything and nothing.
It would take weeks to state every theological point I stand on. The question was posed to me about which of the myriad of denominations of Christianity I subscribe to. I thought sola scriptura would suffice in this matter as it is more accurate than saying I am a Catholic, Mormon or a bible thumping wingnut.
We don't need every theological point, so thanks for not listing a wall of text. As others have said, we have more trust for a denomination clearly stated, because other theists have tried to remain "neutral" in order to point out interdenominational doctrine "errors". It's just a way to insure that you can move the goalposts when challenged on a point.
Of course, you also started out insisting on the KJV. This probably means that you think it was at least inspired by god, if not inerrant. Many of us hold the position that the wholly babble, regardless of version, strikes a balance between absurdity and pure evil.
And I asked you why you seem to think we have never read the stories contained in that KJV? Most of us have studied it extensively.
