It isn't about being right it is about searching for the truth. It is like science. You look for the answers and sometimes you get it wrong. You can't assume that you have it right because that prevents you from searching any further.
No religion has ever been right because it is the nature of religion to distort. Read my post on Taoism. The Jews of the Bible time didn't remain true to themselves because of religion. They ended up killing the Messiah they had waited thousands of years for. Christianity didn't get it right because they had already started distorting the true teachings for their own purpose and understanding just like the Jews and every other religion does.
Buddhism was formed to escape the metaphysical and social trappings of Hinduism and they created more instead.
It is science's turn by the way which will prove interesting. You all have already indicated that journey is well under way.
The Bible isn't a magic book, I think that is the first accurate and truthful thing I have heard you say about it, EVF.
