"I will not utter a word in it's defense"

In the early 1900’s, Arnold Sommerfeld had trouble accepting Einstein's theory of relativity. He was skeptical.

So Einstein replied to Sommerfelds skepticism on a postcard dated February 8, 1916. Einstein wrote, “You will be convinced of the general theory of relativity as soon as you have studied it. Therefore I will not utter a word in its defense."1

Likewise, it is not rational nor intelligent to disbelieve something you have never actually read. So if you have trouble believing the Bible to be God’s Word, all I ask is that you find out for yourself by reading it.
