Clearly, "4,000 yrs. of religious doctrine" must include more than just
the Bible. The Bible, as we know it today, was not available 4,000
years ago.
Take an example. According to Jewish belief, Jesus is not the son of
God. According to Christian belief, he is. I'm not going to speculate
as to which of these is correct, but you may agree that at least one of
them has to be wrong. Hence, even if you exclude the "gay gene"
thingey, "4,000 yrs. of religious doctrine" cannot be correct.
If you want to exclude Jewish beliefs from "4,000 yrs. of religious
doctrine", I could still quote that Christianity over the last 2,000
years have included various different beliefs, which are not consistent
with each other. This would still prove my point above.
