You know why. A lot of people reject the bible off of alternate explanations like evolution.
They replace the bible with evolution.
But they can be separate explanations that are both accurate and we just haven't figured out how they link in all respects.
Also in brain research right now they are doing a lot of mapping of the brain. This is another long explanation.
People because they have
long explanations are crediting these explanations with more authority than they might have.
What is both good and bad about science is that it changes all the time. That means we progress but at the same time that changes the explanation.
The bible never reverses itself. We do reinterpret it in the light of new events then we get ridiculed for doing that. But what if God meant for our textual and scientific knowledge to grow together.
Our paradigmatic thinking goes crazy any time we try to move into free thinking mode about the bible. But the bible is a book about acquiring a free spirit. Religious people just like non-believers are troubled by paradigmatic thinking. There really is a pull of opposites on everybody. Its just a matter of which way you lean. You can always readjust the direction of your lean through your internally controlled compass (your heart/mind connection). Humans are 3 part: body, soul and spirit. If we manage to win control of our own soul then we can go on to the spiritual formation stage.
