What I do have a problem with is fundamentalists who insist on taking their religious texts literally and reject any type of science that may differ from their narrow minded views.


I've always found it interesting that in the gospels, the pharisees interpreted the bible differently than Jesus because their literal viewpoint gave equal authority to the writings of men... to the point that they no longer knew what the scriptures said. When faced with a disingenuous question that was intended to trap him into a lose-lose answer based on the literal interpretation of the day:
Quote:
Matt 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.


In my opinion, this continues to be the case in discussions with people who are either unfamiliar with scripture, or whose training in scripture has been received at one of the many schools that pushes a humanismanistic interpretation of scripture. Or, for that matter, with people whose instruction in scripture was flawless, but they simply decided not to believe it.
