I love this saying from Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis. "If He revealed everything we would have an infinite amount of books to read!"
If God does not reveal anything more, we have nothing else to read, in elaboration of what was said in the Bible.
Might God be kind enough to reveal at least 1 more book of information?

All or nothing inerrancy?
It's interesting, that you bump a 6 month inactive topic, to promote an already active topic .
I've just skimmed this entire topic. It seemed to have drifted astray pretty much right away, but people may wish to take another look at message 1.
Now, I'll bring in a quote from another topic:
Ken said (or quoted?), at http://EvC Forum: Bible inerrancy is well supported
quote:
A gentleman who wrote an article to defend the Bible said if we cannot trust the Bible in mundane small and verifiable points then its bigger more untestable claims could be argued to be suspect.
This seems to be a view held by many creationists - The all true or all bad sort of dichotomy. This seems to be the case for both the Bible and matters of science.
While it is nice to get all the details right, other areas or the "big picture" can survive quite well, even with those other details being bad.
Terry, at "Terry's Talk Origins" seems to operate this way, in regards to "age of the earth" considerations. Whenever he finds new information, that says that some geologic feature is younger (or sometime older) that previously thought, he jumps to the conclusion that this is going to be a small step in the direction of the fall of "old earthism".
Enough for now,
Moose
