Here's the rub, it seems as if Christians will happily quote sections of The Bible at folk all day long to back up a belief system. Yet when I ask about the six days to build heaven and earth it becomes an abstract concept, free to be interpreted in any way that suits?

It's either the word of God, or it isn't. iI it is the word of God then the Earth is only six thousand years old, Adam and Eve lived side by side with dinosaurs, Jesus walked on water, and that trumpet really did make those walls fall down that time in Jericho. On the other hand if it is a book that is open to interpretations then we might see how that very same book could be interpreted by all kinds of people, for all kinds of reasons.

It's not such a big leap to take.

I don't know about anyone else, I'm happy to let people be whatever they want to be with regard to religion. It doesn't stop me thinking it's a load of old hooey. I didn't say that I didn't like the people, I'm just saying the belief system is a system based on faith alone. There's nothing rational or reasonable about it. It has no logical basis in fact.
