“The Bible is primarily a book
of religion. To say that the Bible is an authoritative book does not mean that
it is authoritative in every field of human thought. It is not an authority in
science. It does not claim to be.
“The Bible lays no claim to being a textbook of history, literature, philosophy,
psychology or science. Yet it contains true elements of all these and more.”
(From The Baptist Faith and Message,
