Sorry to came back to this after so long a gap Martin, but you said in reply to me "Do you not think though, that the creationists have a point? I mean aren't whole swathes of the Bible in need of reinterpretation because of the fact of evolution."
Surely the creationists believe that the Bible does NOT need re-interpretation? The first of the two sentences quoted would imply that they believe it DOES need re-interpreting... I'm confused....
Having posted this I then got to the second page of this thread and say your later post - and realise now that you probably mean that they have a point to be worried... which makes more sense.
Yes, they are right to be worried about people deciding that some parts of the Bible are not absolute truth, since it does call into question some other parts...
