The Nobel Prize could be given in the field of physics if they proved that God started the big bang. Or if they proved that prayers heal people, they could get a Nobel in medicine. Or Nobel in chemistry if they proved that vine turns into blood. And so on.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
