A REAL scientist probably doesn't give a shit about what I believe or don't believe. Nevertheless, a REAL scientists doesn't start by being absolutely certain about the answer to the question. Neither does a REAL scientist spend her time trying to poke holes in the arguments of people who don't share her absolute certainties. And finally, a REAL scientist doesn't spend her time trying to insert God or the Bible into the supposed gaps.

"I suspect we may not be understanding each other as to what "literally" means when we talk about the bible being Gods word."

Meaningless waffle, pete! Answer the f**ing question!
