What if the Bible claimed that, say, the laws of quantum physics hold. In the 1700s, the Newtonian view of the universe would have disagreed with this view. So would the Bible have been wrong then?
That has to be the biggest "if" in history. I'm pretty sure that my dad had read the bible and knew that it held no accurate, scientific claims, but I can't say that for certain. My parents are very tight-lipped about their religious beliefs, so I'm guessing he has read the bible simply because of the fact that my dad reads everything that interests him.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
