I am one of those who believe in evolution, God, and Jesus.
The Bible is not one book. It is a collection of books covering a long time period. I don't have any problem with some of the older stuff being less reliable. Not only is it older, but it has been edited and modified (sometimes more than once). I also don't have problems with the "inconsistencies" people point out in the bible -- Mrs. dar and I often have different recollections of things that occurred just a couple of years ago. I find the Bible more useful and more meaningful, not less, for knowing that it is not a literal history. BTW, when I went back to get my CS degree, I went to Seattle Pacific U. -- a Methodist college. You were required to take a bible course to graduate. I took the old testament course. And "useful for instruction" but "not a literal history" is how they teach it.
