The Bible: just another Text?

There is alot of good disscussion going on over at PhilBaker.net about Sin/Creation Science/evolution. Alot of it comes down to the ways we interpret and view the Bible. There are many smart people contributing to the debate but sometimes I feel that we treat the bible like any other peice of literature, especially when we refer to it as a text. As a christian I feel it is different to every other text as it was inspired by God, every part of it. Therefore I think it is a book that can communicate to many cultures, ages, eras, and even commnicate valuable information for those wanting to know about the origins of the earth. If God inspired it do we really think he would have been so small minded to aim it only at one culture (the jews) for the particular time in which it was written? God is big, lets broaden our view of his word to match the author.
