I’m very curious about religious people who dismiss stories such as Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark, etc on the basis of scientific evidence, yet still believe in their God. They seem to be able to twist their religious story: Oh, those bits were only ever meant to be allegories.
Only fundies think the Bible was written by God.
The rest of Christianity thinks it's a collection of writings by people with a greater or lesser degree of contact with the divine. Just like people today. That people in the past were wrong about stuff means nothing more profound than that people in the past were wrong about stuff.
It's Christianity not Bibleianity.
