You can actually Google Thomas Jefferson Bible and you can see like pictures where he's literally like razored out chunks of the New Testament.

How much should our modern understanding of science inform how we read scripture?

We do believe that there were genuine miracles.

Yeah, like at the heart of true Christianity is the belief in the miracle of Jesus' literal resurrection.

Take that away and you don't have Christianity anymore.

If you're looking at it figuratively, you're going to get a lot more out of it than if you

try to take it literally.

Is it accurate than when I say to my wife, Sarah, I say, you complete me?

We can find principles and truths in the scriptures that guide us and help us in a very literal way.

Still to this day, Casey, I have no way of wrapping my mind around how 23-year-old Joseph translated that book.

Becoming like him and gaining the blessings of exaltation is going to be a wrestle.

It's going to test us and try us and cause us to strain.

Hello, Casey.

Hello, Scott. We are back and we're continuing our discussion on science and religion.

So we've covered some interesting ground already. And today we're going to get into some more meaty topics.

But maybe we ought to, we ought to, we ought to do a recap of what we've talked about

previously. Do you want to start the ball rolling there? And I will say, Casey, I've had a

recent brush with science. Yeah. A couple days ago, I was made unconscious and some doctors chopped my shoulder up, got some calcified tendonitis taken care of, some bursitis, and a little rotator cuff repair.

So for you YouTube people, you could probably

see them in this like sling. I'm kind of one-handing this today. And I just want to say at the

outset, Casey, I'm grateful for science. Grateful for doctors who know how to fix the human body.

It's amazing to me that they know how to do this.
