Hi Ryan,
This isn't exactly what Selçuk asked, but it's a similar sort of question.
Most scientists think about the world in terms of falsifiable theories,
rather than beliefs as such. So here's my question: Under what circumstances
would you no longer accept the literal truth of the Bible?
Supplementary questions, if you want to give them a go: Why do you choose a
Christian faith, rather than another religion? Do you believe other
religions are false, for reasons other than your Christian faith?

PS Feel free to ignore my queries, but please read this post with an open mind:

James describes a faith similar to mine. I would add that in my opinion, no
scientific, religious or philosophical truth can hurt your understanding of God.
