Is Bill O’Reilly, the top Fox News pundit, now aiming to disprove the Bible?

The Bible is the story of faith, not science. You either choose to believe in the existence of God/Jesus and the promise of eternal life, or not. The Bible doesn't "prove" anything. I often watch these types of Bible miniseries. They don't shake my faith because I don't believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible and I can separate scientific facts from religious faith. Btw: there is no mention of an "apple" in Genesis. It says "'fruit' of the trees." Look it up. Does it matter? Not really. (:))

It should be long and well-known that Catholics don't believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible. What got Galileo into trouble was mixing science and religion without having solid science to back him up (and Galileo and the pope he insulted being a couple of really grumpy old friends). What Catholic bashers won't acknowledge is that Galileo's science wasn't adequate, and Catholic astronomers and the pope knew this: we're not messing with the Bible until you have scientific proof, not just a theory. A generation or two later Newton provided a rock solid theoretical basis for heliocentrism. Many decades later James Blake, an Englishman, discovered the scientific proof of heliocentrism when discovered the aberration of light. At that point, the RC said, ok fine, haven't we been telling everyone the Bible's allegorical all along.

O'Reilly is a suitable case for chronic bashing for a myriad of reasons. He is a bully, a hypocrite and an unmitigated liar.

As the police officer said at the accident scene said, "move along. Nothing to see here." Nothing in O'Reilly's comments that I hadn't learning from the scholarly jesuit theologians that taught me in college. I guess O'Reilly should thank you for the publicity. While I'm not always his fan, Irish-Central has a hang up in chronically badshing him, most often for no vsalid reason.

He was just giving a Catholic viewpoint on the Bible. A literal belief in the Bible is relatively recent. Ironically it is the literalists who came up with the Rapture invention in the 1800s.
