I don't count the Bible (or any of the other holy scriptures) as a scientific text, thus not as evidence. As for the intellectual part; there's great philosophical wisdom in the Bible, but also a lot of folly. I imagine that is what happens when one collects a lot of writings from different authors and put them toghether between one cover.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
