They are simply not intended to be scientific textbooks.

Let science uncover the provable truths of our universe and let religion help us lead "good" lives.

To some people that viewpoint relegates religious writings to being codes of ethics and not absolute truths dictated by a creator.
That's fine with me. The GOLDEN RULE is not only sensible. It is essentially Aristotelian & Mill-ish..
But Tony, for instance, would probably not be aligned with that suggested viewpoint.

As for me, I'm agnostic. Not only can I only say that I dunno whether religious writings are accurate and fact based, but I cannot with absolutely certainty say that anything that I did not personally witness is true. That's a lot of things.

Therefore, alas...onward through the fog....but never stop thinking.
