This is what happens to many who think they are knowledgeable because they challenge Christianity, claiming that the Bible has hundreds of versions and therefore does not deserve credit.

It is true that there are adulterations in it, which was foreseen by God in Jeremiah 8:8. Even this text, which denounces the false scribe, was translated attributing falsehood to the pen, not to the scribe.

However, God in His infinite wisdom, foreseeing the misappropriation that would occur, also left a way to avoid being deceived by unscrupulous scribes.

Therefore, the proposal of those who consider themselves knowledgeable and suggest not giving credit to the Holy Scriptures, alleging possible manipulation, is not sensible. For God inspired a man to say how to understand His fear and find His knowledge. Proverbs 2:1-5.

Thus, such knowledgeable people cannot understand. Even though God has imprinted certain divine principles of His Law on their hearts, such as not to kill, not to steal, and not to covet. That is why the Gentiles, who have no law, will be judged by the law engraved on their hearts, as the apostle Paul says in Romans 2:14-16.

Although there may be doubts and contradictions in some scientific theses and concepts, this does not prevent men from attending colleges and studying science. In fact, when this happens, many strive even harder to eliminate doubts and prejudices. This is how human science has evolved.

Therefore, as my father used to say, “everything has science.” But the foolish reject the wisdom of God using flimsy excuses.
