No, I wouldn’t work hard to find a way for the bible to be true. I would try in an unbiased way to determine what it means. If you decide in advance that it must be true, you poison the effort.

I like my position because I want to know the truth, and that’s what the evidence shows me. Your opinions of me do you no credit; you merely imagine the mirror image of your own bias.
