Rye Wrote: That said, the Biblical "sources" for Hell tend to be rather vague, vague enough to lead to interpretations as varied as Dante's Inferno and The Twilight Zone episode "A Nice Place to Visit." Both are seen by their interpreters as equally spiritually sound, which says a lot about how vague it actually is.The existence of different interpretations says nothing about the vagueness of the language used; what it says is that some interpreters knowledge of the language used is incomplete or innaccurate. It is exactly the same with anything where there are differences of interpretation, whether it is the interpretation of text, or the interpretation of scientific evidence. Does the existence of different interpretations of the evidence of the age of the earth mean that the evidence is vague or insufficient to come to an accurate conclusion? Not in any way, but it says a whole lot about the scientific knowledge of Young-Earthers.
