"boring book written and revised by power hungry men over centuries."

41% of scientists are Christian. Voyager I's lead scientist and project head was a Christian.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christians_in_science_and_technology

Francis S. Collins, PhD Yale; MD, UNC, Chapel Hill:
"The God of the Bible is also the God of the genome. He can be worshipped in the cathedral or in the laboratory. His creation is majestic, awesome, intricate...and it [creation] cannot be at war with itself. Only we imperfect humans can start such battles. And only we can end them."

Ian Hutchinson, PhD, Engineering Physics, Nuclear Engineer and Physicist at MIT:
I take the Bible very seriously... and would affirm the notion that it is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, reproof and correction....But that doesn't mean that when we come to it, our particular interpretations are always affirmed by God."
