The people who believe The Bible to be literal believe that although The Bible has been changed by mankind over time, God guided those changes, etc. I think that is incorrect and greed and power guided many of those changes - in fact, history mostly supports me on that.

In the end, I think The Bible is a womnderful book and its main message has inspired me so many times. For example, I do not, however, get caught up in whether Noah really had an ark that could house two of all six million or so species. I focus on the point of the story, which is God so loved mankind that He wanted to wash the sin in the world away and allow man a fresh start. To know someone loves me like that inspires me.
