Inerrancy Quotes
“Qur’an” is another way of spelling “Koran”. The belief in the perfection of the Koran is fairly common in Islamic nations. If Sharia is the civil law, as many Muslims insist that it is or should be, then there is no system of amendment and nothing that has occurred or has been learned since 800 AD that is any reason to improve or modify the law. Modern Islamic nations cope with this problem in one of three ways. The Fundamentalists take the Koran literally in all things and nothing is ever amended or modernized. Modernists will treat the Koran and Sharia as metaphorical and interpret it in the light of the modern world. More secular nations (like Turkey and Indonesia) reject Sharia as a civil legal system or as a source of inspiration of civil law.
The Creation Museum makes the Christian Fundamentalist Case for their alternative view of the creation of the earth and man. In the process, they make claims that are proven incorrect every day in science, like the earth is only about 6000 years old {641849} , and all the species on earth were then separately created in their immutable form with no evolutionary process. There are many deeply religious Christians who do not take the Bible literally and have no problem with evolution as the mechanism which God selected to create and develop life. The Roman Catholic Church, for example, does not maintain that the Bible is literally true and Evolution did not account for the development of life on earth. The major difference between most modern scientists, philosophers, and theologians, is that some believe that God of other Supreme Being had nothing to do with the evolution and development of life forms and those who believe that Evolution was the mechanism that God created and used. See {641848} for an example of the former.
Huckabee, a fundamentalist Christian Minister in addition to being a politician, had been very tolerant of other religions and their rights. However, on the abortion question he seemed to be calling for a Constitutional amendment to make abortion illegal. The likelihood of passing such a Constitutional Amendment given the supermajority requirement was very low given the national division on this polarizing issue. A very careful reading of the candidate’s statement shows that he never literally advocated an amendment. He just stated that is would be easier to change the Constitution than to change the world of God which to believers was immutable. Thus his statement was true, yet some interpreted it as a very clever way of making a moral statement without committing to a course of action that would deny women the right to make decisions over the use and risks to their own bodies, souls, and lives.
