Catechism
Theologians and scientists are alike in that they are both interpreters, some of which twist evidence to fit their worldview and beliefs. The Bible is God's Word. The interpretation is His. Man has no right to impose his/her own interpretations on it and present it as Gid's Word. When comparing scripture for scripture and like subjects applied keeping accounts in context, there is only 1 true interpretation of the Bible, God's interpretation, an interpretation that never changes.
This is the Science Forum.
Don't you feel embarrassed reciting your catechism lessons in a Science Forum?
Myths are better discussed in a Literature or perhaps a Folklore setting.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

That's catechism, not science.
Some might claim it's folklore or mythology. But it certainly isn't science.

Re: Catechism
No, it's logic. Whether one believes the Bible is inspired of God or not, the interpretation or meaning of the subjects in the writings is best ascertained by comparing scripture for scripture or the Bible to itself. Outside interpretation spoils it.
Right, like talking snakes. pillars of salt, and global floods.
Sure sounds like a bunch of tribal myths.
Back to the topic?
