Quote by Robert J. Marks II

Saying the Bible is not a book about science is like saying a cookbook is not a book about chemistry.

Saying the Bible is not a book about science is like saying

Summary

This quote highlights that just as a cookbook utilizes chemistry principles to explain cooking processes without being a comprehensive textbook on chemistry, the Bible employs narratives, metaphors, and symbolic language to convey spiritual and moral truths rather than providing detailed scientific explanations. It emphasizes that the Bible should be approached as a religious and philosophical guide, rather than a scientific manual, helping individuals understand life's purpose, human nature, and the relationship between humanity and the divine. By acknowledging this distinction, one can appreciate the unique value and purpose of the Bible's teachings without expecting it to address scientific matters in a literal sense.

If, for instance, they have heard something from the postman

If, for instance, they have heard something from the postman, they attribute it to a semi-official statement; if they have fallen into conversation with a stranger at a bar, they can conscientiously describe him as a source that has hitherto proved unimpeachable. It is only when the journalist is reporting a whim of his own, and one to which he attaches minor importance, that he defines it as the opinion of well-informed circles.

I don't think it's any coincidence that I lost my religious faith and 'manned up' in the same year. I was described somewhere as a lapsed Catholic, which is funny because I'm not going back! I want to achieve things rather than live life in an animalistic way.
