        • Exact truth
        • Literal text
      • The big bang contradicts creationism, therefore it is wrong
      • All science-based theories are incorrect as they contradict with the Bible - the Bible cannot be changed as it is the truth

      • The bible was not literally the words of God
      • People should rather interpret the Bible
