Erm, and where did anyone claim religion was a science?
You're approaching this from a completely different set of axioms from me. My fundamental starting point is a knowledge of God himself. This isn't anything that can be tested or verified in a scientific or logical manner. From this stance there is nothing crooked in my logic.
I know God exists and wants a personal relationship with mankind.
=> He must communicate with them
Therefore the Bible. In its necessary inerrancy.
Pretty simple and non-crooked from where I stand. Here's hoping one day you can hop over the fence and come and join me.
