PS - When I studied the Bible at university, the first thing the professor did was distinguish between 'fact' and 'truth'. She said that while all 'facts' are necessarily 'truth', not all 'truths' are 'facts'.
Therefore, while much of what is in the Bible is NOT 'fact' (ie. we can't prove it scientifically), that doesn't mean that it's not 'truth'.

Now, there's an exercise in 'open-mindedness'!
