Charles Hodge, in his Systematic Theology, wrote: "It would be insane to reject the Bible with all its sublime and saving truths, because there may be in it a few passages which we cannot understand, and which in themselves seem inconsistent with the perfection of the author.

Ignorance is a very healthful condition of our present state of being." -- Tom Albrecht
