I can see no reason, and know of no evidence to indicate that the
Bible 'cannot' be wrong.  However, this seems to be the premise
that Creationist theory is largely based upon.  As has been previously
noted, many Creationist 'scientists' must sign an affadavit to the
effect they 'believe' the Bible cannot be wrong.  What evolutionist has 
ever had to sign an affidavit that evolution cannot be wrong?  Creationists,
truly approaching their theory from the perspective of science must
admit that the Bible cannot be assumed to be truth as there is
no evidence to that effect.  However, this is in direct conflict
with the Creationist cause.  A true scientist should not close a
door to a possibility just because he would prefer it to be
impossible.
