I mean is it a reasonable way of belief for open-minded Christians...if compelling contrary evidence comes in then you would amend your beliefs accordingly wouldn't you?

Bob: The Bible cannot possibly be the definitive source of truth.

That's the way it works. Many believe but few are chosen.

I've been a Christian for 17+ years and I'm still learning, and coming to more understanding. As a Christian (I'm also in the science field), I'm much more committed to the truth than to traditionalism and my own opinions. I believe God IS the truth, so he wants us to know the truth and believe the truth. So yes, when I see compelling evidence, I amend my opinions. And I have had to do this many times.

Your statement indicates that you do not see the Bible as the definitive source of truth. I am compelled by the timeless truth of the Bible. I hope that you will see it that way too.

I've had inner conflicts regarding what I believe most of my life. That is why saying the "creed" feels wrong for me to say it. I have no problem with saying The Lord's Prayer

The Word of God is the same past, present and future. : )
I do not know what kind of evidence you could be talking about?

Sounds reasonable to me. As long as a believe leads you to do good where is the harm?
