What I'm saying is that the bible in it self is not a moral code.
At all.

It's not always clear what overrides what and what doesn't, and, more specifically, since it never claims to be the divine word (unlike the Koran) everything in it is less relevant than the living traditions within the religion.

Some traditions DEFINITELY derive from the bible, but huge swats come from the culture in which it is present, or, from Rome.

For instance, puritanism comes almost directly from Rome and the fact that Christianity was used as a state religion at least in part to impart those values.

Have you actually sat down and talked with an actual scientist in the field?
Instead of only reading laymans interpretations of what they say?

You might be surprised that they can actually answer all of the dumb questions.

Deniers usually attack a simplified view made to explain extremely complex things to layman and then find some holes in the simplificiation and then deny everything based on it.

It's not really as in the bible, that is the fundamentally wrong part about what constitutes moral in a religion.

It's the moral tenents of the actual religion which in general are held in esteem.

It's not really about interpretation, Christians do not follow most of the Bible, which is VERY, VERY fortunate.
I'd hate to see raped women being forced to marry their rapists for instance.
