I've done neither; i gave my reasons for believing that it was otherwise, if memory serves. (For example, thinking adam/eve are symbolic, thinking that the old testament was possibly corrupted over time by those with biggoted hearts, etc.)
You baselessly denying the validity of such reasons doesnt really count as me having a blind heart.

Once you start allowing that the book may be a fallible work created by man, it all falls apart. It becomes a piece of literature, as it should be. I don't recall any holy wars being fought over Ovid.

"Holy" wars were started by men with corrupt hearts and blind minds. Not a book teaching love.

If you read the Bible and only get a message of love out of it, perhaps you should read a bit more. The apocalyptic nature of the last book in the current canon isn't all hugs and rainbows.

Actually, the ending is a threat.
Rev 22:18-21(KJV)
18: For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20: He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Earlier ending. I.e. heaven and earth becoming one, God walking among men, and peace finally falling upon us.
i'll continue this in the morning, if you so choose. gotta leave for now though

A banana does fit perfectly in my hand.
Isn't that just a little more evidence that our ancestors evolved from ape-like creatures? The guy's theory is almost based on intelligent design (intelligent creator) — which seems much worse.
