Musket,

I've been saying for a while that Religion, for the most part is the excuse for the bad behavior. So I agree with where your post is going.

I would also agree that someone like Ham who might credibly saying that "all the answers are in the Bible" when the questions are about, peace of mind, forgiveness and human interaction. But if the question is "Why do Kangaroos have pouches?" Saying "Because God made them that way." is not the most satisfying or credible answer.

It is a lot harder to point to the wisdom in the Bible when one's focus is presenting societal myth as literal scientific truth. I wouldn't call that an "attack" per se. But it is a very poor strategy. I don't know if it undermines the Bible so much as it undermines the people making the case for Kangaroos walking from Palestine to Sydney.
