You said: We must never forget that the Bible was written by a people who had very limited understanding. Indeed. Yet, isn't amazing how everything they wrote is consistent with our current understanding of the universe? For example, the Genesis story of creation lines up almost exactly with the progression of events following the big bang as modern scientists understand it. Also, remember that no matter what the cause of an illness -- virus, bacteria, chemicals, demons -- God ultimately controls the forces that determine the health of an individual. -- Derek |
