So, while waiting for my super-delayed flight in Heathrow, I got to watching a series I have on my hard-drive: Firefly.
Then this scene comes up and I just crack up. I was laughing hard after River's first sentence!
I can't/don't know how to embed this video here, and it's not on youtube (copyright issues, no doubt), so I'm just linking it and posting the transcript:

Enjoy!

Quote:Book: What are we up to, sweetheart?
River: Fixing your Bible.
Book: I, um…
[alarmed]
Book: What?
River: Bible’s broken. Contradictions, false logistics – doesn’t make sense.
[she's marked up the bible, crossed out passages and torn out pages]
Book: No, no. You-you-you can’t…
River: So we’ll integrate non-progressional evolution theory with God’s creation of Eden. Eleven inherent metaphoric parallels already there. Eleven. Important number. Prime number. One goes into the house of eleven eleven times, but always comes out one. Noah’s ark is a problem.
Book: Really?
River: We’ll have to call it early quantum state phenomenon. Only way to fit 5000 species of mammal on the same boat.
[rips out page]
Book: River, you don’t fix the Bible.
River: It’s broken. It doesn’t make sense.
Book: It’s not about making sense. It’s about believing in something, and letting that belief be real enough to change your life. It’s about faith. You don’t fix faith, River. It fixes you.
Enjoy!
