You put your faith in a book written by Darwin, I put my faith in an older book, what's the difference?
That's an extremely bad comparison. If you wanted to pick the one book that would most discredit the bible, Darwin's work would be my top choice. Origin of Species was written 150 years ago by a scientist. The bible was written 2000 to 3000 years ago by philosophers and poets and preachers.
The bible says we were poofed into existence by omnipotent space alien. Darwin says we evolved through natural processes.
There have been almost literally COUNTLESS addendums to Darwin's book since it was written. Each addendudm is celebrates and debated until everyone agrees the addemdum stands on it's own. It has been upheld by the laws of physics and man.
Until very recently, updates to the bible would make you the man of honor at your own BBQ.
Again, Nash, you CAN have your bible and appreciate science. You'll just have to drop fundamentalism as your religion.
