Linear: There are documented changes to the Bible since the time of Jesus. Tom Sawyer, Mien Kampf, and the Bhagavad Gita have remained constant since they were written. Should we also believe that they have the answers?

I'm not knocking the Bible down to the level of Tom Sawyer. However, you are saying that we should trust the Bible because it has not changed. You need to supply a better reason than that for trusting the Bible about science.

Sure, scientific theories change....because knowledge increases. Do you think it shouldn't change? Why?

Jeanie: Don't know if you've caught my stance, but the Bible has been changed which is why Mormons use other scripture and modern day revelation to help clarify it. This does not change the fact that the Bible is inspired (so far as interpreted correctly) but I haven't seen anything Bex has said that I disagree with concerning that personally....

GOD has not changed, though. He does not adapt according to the fads of the day...yet He (actually Jesus Christ) does give revelation to guide a modern church with it's modern issues. God is the literal father of our spirits and created us, but Jesus Christ (along with a few other helpers) actually created the world and is the one who guides the church which is why it's called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
