***Instead of going into this here, please see www.answersingenesis.org, I'm not going to defend the bible here, they do it far better than I ever could.

Foul! You can't do that. If it's stated there then it should be argued there. But YOU brought it HERE.
Anyway, you can't say they can do it better because neither of you have done it.

then wouldn't you, therefore, worship unless you were truly stupid?

Are you saying there are no stupid people? How about people that opt out because they don't like the deal. Must they be stupid?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…" Declaration of Independence

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus." - Galatians 3:28

While these two quotes are clearly parallel, it doesn't mean one is a derivative. Any idea that is pleasing to people in general, will reoccur periodically. I'll bet this thought has been stated in every language and thousands of phrasings from the beginning of civilization.
