There's a difference between scientific contradictions and religious contradictions. Science is real, the here and now, what you can see, and feel, and taste.
Religion is an experience. I dont view it as "real" I cant really explain my belief system, and its totally my own, not from any sort of a group, or Jewish beliefs, since most Jews would disagree with me on this also. But, I view G-d as something personal to me, and He is not the same for everyone. It isnt a contradiction. I know its irational, but religion in general is extremely irrational to me. The only way *I* can reconcile my secular belief system with a god is to view Him this way.
And you forgot that I dont believe a word of the Bible as literal truth, Old Testament or New... :) It doesnt matter if something I dont believe is truth anyways has contradictions....
I do believe that when our technology increases, we'll have more answers. We know things today that we had no clue existed even 5 years ago.
