We agreed on exactly what I just stated. Read carefully:
-----------------
God's word - the bible - is perfect.
Man is flawed, therefore his interpretation of the bible can be flawed. This doesn't mean the bible is flawed. Just that man can read it incorrectly.
------------------
This is what we agreed^
Now I'm going for the next step:
Several historical examples of incorrect interpretations exist. It's been science/reason that lead to the correct interpretation. Therefore science/reason should be embraced by religious folks as a tool which will bring them closer to the true meaning of god's words.
Having an open mind towards what science/reason tells you doesn't mean questioning god's word. It means questioning your interpretation of it.
