Nice message, but I think it better belongs elsewhere (General topic drift alert)
Message from the mixed-mode (a little minnemooseus/a little Adminnemooseus):
I like your message, but to me it seems to be part of a number of messages that is causing this topic to stray off course. I suggest that you plug a more condensed version of it into the YEC vs. EVO presuppositions / methodology topic. At that topic, it stands a good chance of getting a POTM nomination out of me.

The all or nothing Bible
If you can attack the Bible at it's very core and prove or demonstrate that it is incorrect in it's assesment of how we got here, the entire credibility of the Bible is destroyed. Since according to the Bible, the first 5 days of creation were only witnessed by God, then if the account is wrong, then what else could you believe in the book.
etc.
The "if you can't believe all of it, then how can you believe any of it" attitude seems to be a common theme expressed by fundamentalist Christians. This is applied to the Bible in general, and to the creationism of Genesis in specific (and, as a side note, also to the theory of evolution, both biological and in the broader sense of the term).
I think the general content of your message is deserving of being it's own topic. Titled something along the lines of "Bible: Can you believe some of it, if you don't believe all of it". But that may be more characters that the title field will permit.
Cheers,
Moose (with Adminnemooseus looking over the shoulder)
