4. Dontcha love how believing in "UFOs" is wacky but believing the Bible is laudable?
I mean, I do think there have been "unidentified flying objects" -- plenty of them. Do I think any were space visitors? Probably not. However, the chances of there being at least a few planets elsewhere in the universe capable of supporting intelligent life -- among BILLIONS of planets -- is pretty darn good.

The Bible, on the other hand, is a tiny blip on the screen of the history of life on Earth. It's a silly book made up by a few desert-dwelling members of a primate race who were dominant for a relatively short while. The dinosaurs ruled for millions of years; humans have been powerful only for a nano-second in comparison.
