@Hkizzle, I still do not understand why you think you have to take every word of the bible as absolute truth to be a christian. The bible was written by people (the new testament by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) and the information in them was gathered a few generations after the happening in the bible, they travelled around looking for people who witnessed miracles and speechs by Jesus and wrote down what they found out. That is how the new testament was written, there is much space for exaggeration and mistakes, especially during translation (I don't understand what you meant by your "Hell no" comment), it was written by people and people, by their nature make mistakes.

Ask any theologian and they will tell you the miracles of Christ are meant to be taken literally.

This is just plain not true.

But according to what you say, it seems that Chrisitanity is evolving as science and society changes. Strange, because I thought the basis of the arguement is that evolution is rubbish, and the word of God is the truth!

The word of god doesn't change but people's interpretation of it does.
