Phillip Mikes - "By the way, I believe in "God"; it's just that I'm not going to allow the Bible to take precedence over common sense.", and further back, on July 13, "In response to Rudy J. Budesky on "Cradle of Civilization" (Letters, July 12). "I would therefore suggest that he not even think about bringing the Bible to dispute DNA." Huh? Looking at Rudy Budesky's July 12 letter, he makes no reference to the Bible, nor is the term "cradle of civilization" a Biblical term, and July 14th Rudy himself states he's an atheist; you're objecting to something that isn't there. As regards human "common sense" versus the Bible, "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness” (1 Corinthians 3:19), "Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil." (Proverbs 3:7), and "For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” (1 Corinthians 1:19).
