Quote:But those theories directly contradict the Bible.
Only if you think that the Bible is a scientific book.
I also accept those theories and I can't see problem between science and my faith.
Quote:If these Christians are going to say the Bible is completely wrong as far Genesis is concerned and stories like those of Adam and Eve and Noah's Ark are untrue why would you not start to question and wonder if maybe everything else in the Bible is completely made up including the 4 Gospels?
Genesis is not wrong. It's just not a scientific book. The purpose of that book is not to show how the world was created, but why, while the details of the story are not too important. It states that everythin that exists is created by God, what is an ontological claim.
And, even if the Bible Bible contradicts to scientific facts, it's not a problem for me(for example, when it is said that bats are birds). I believe that the Bible is divine and human book at the same time. A human factor can not be disregarded when we speak about the development of the scriptures. So, it's not a perfect book.
