Attack of the Theocrats!
Reason and Bible are not comparable in the slightest.
Referencing the "Bible" is to refer to a physical object - an ancient tome with a finite number of pages. A beginning and an end.
Referencing "Reason" is to refer to a potentially infinite PROCESS of deduction.
Perhaps Wilson's deduction consisted of the following:
"Reason" = Noun...
and
"Bible" = Noun...
This means that "Reason" <> "Bible"
Some of the neurobiological wiring must be jammed in these peoples' logic centers.
