Well if that isn't condescending. I think you just tipped you hand here although the suspicions were certainly raised with your first post. Your preoccupation with the Bible over every other historical document is the dead giveaway though. For someone to read so much into the jumbled mess the Bible represents clearly shows an agenda to promote Christianity even if you cleverly disguise it in this "deep" mix of science and religion.
One hallmark of Christian preachers is this "all knowing" air where they believe the unassimilated simply haven't progressed enough in their studies, beliefs, and ritual to have experienced the full enlightenment. What a crock. You have no clue what paths people have taken in their own personal philosophy.
When I stated before that the Bible was irrelevant for the discussion you created it merely meant that it is a horrible reference book for physics compared with the works of people that had a passion for science, history, and logic. There is certainly cultural and historical information we can gain from reading a document such as the Bible or Koran but there's equally as much cultural value in reading "Winnie the Pooh". Shall we begin some philosophical discussion on black holes and the Big Bang based on how Tigger bounces from scene to scene?
Johannes, you sound very passionate about your theories and beliefs and you're certainly entitled to them. They are interesting reading but just know this. If you involve the Bible as your source of interpretation, you're going to polarize a good segment of your audience.
