In the human quest for knowledge, which has many categories - man created what is commonly known as Science being one of them having many sub-categories. The part of science that I completely reject is evolution. There are many aspects that I do accept as the revalation of God's hand. The planets in syncronous orbit around the sun, the stars the universe, nature, etc.

Using the Bible Christians rejected these in the past. If you accept the stars in the universe . . . ah, etc. Do you accept the universe, solar system and the earth are billions of years old?

Quote: "the Bible does not refer to itself as the literal word of God"

Revalation 22:18-19 - Jeremiah 30:2-4 - John 20:31

Does not refer to the Bible. They refer to the word of God. The Bible was selectively compiled by the Romans long after these words were writen by men.

Quote: "widely contradicts itself"  Where ?????

Many places the following are only a few examples:

(1) How many of each animal did Noah take into the Ark, besides the construction of the Ark is physically impossible and could not hold the required animals.

(2) The OT describes the slaughter of children and inocents for generations after the proported crimes were commited in many places. Other quotes say this is against the law of God.

(3) NT gives conficting geneologies for Jesus and the order is switched.
