"Including any and all scientific books because science is always changing always evolving."
There are absolutely no credible scientists that will read something and blindly accept it. Scientific papers are subjected to peer review.
Everything else aside, this is exactly what I want to hear. People who engage in these debates seem to blindly follow their side of the mix, but I have stated on several occasions that science will be the ultimate tool to prove the existence of "god" whether he be a supernatural being or simply a far more advanced being to which at the time humans encountered, seemed godlike.
So by this simple statement, I wouldn't truly be accepted into most mainstream religions, but I do not discount the fact that "God" may have had a powerful influence on humanity and the formation of the planet and the universe humanity is inhabiting. I don't place full belief on the bible as historical act, but I don't discount that some of the events could have happened should humans develop means to recreate them and prove them to be true.
Science Fiction goes about trying to do this all the time and in some cases provides the framework, like the bible did back in the old days, to provide a hypothesis to forward the advancement of science as they understood it. That is basically what I'm saying and that is why I use scattered examples from the bible to support them because I believe that eventually, we can recreate everything that happened in there some day, some time. Who knows, maybe time travel is possible and we end up being our own God? in science it's all possible even if it seems realistic by today's standards.
