The Water Rant
By kirk noonan | April 3, 2008
Researchers now say drinking eight, eight ounce glasses of water a day might not be as beneficial as once believed. For years, it has been widely held that by drinking at least 64 ounces of water each day, a person could improve his or her skin and flush toxins out of his or her body. Unfortunately, according to recent research, there is little data to prove that drinking that much 
water really does the body all that good.
And that’s the rub with a lot of research — it’s vulnerable to being changed, updated, adjusted, redefined and tweaked.
Like research, the Bible has been criticized, questioned, scrutinized and attacked for hundreds of years by some of the world’s brightest minds. But the striking difference between the Bible and research is that the Bible remains intact and steadfast in the Truth it proclaims. It absolutely offers no revisions, corrections, tweaks or retractions.
Maybe that’s why the Bible drives researchers battier than Homer Simpson when he sees donuts or a vat of gravy. They can pick and prod the Bible, day in and day out, but they never make any real headway in dispelling the Truth it proclaims.
That must really hurt.
Though partial to the Bible, why gloat?
The Bible is what it is. And of course, research is what it is.
Which brings us back to the water. Maybe next year, researches will be touting the benefits of drinking eight, eight ounce glasses of water again. Until then, throw a little Red Bull or Mountain Dew into the daily mix and check out the Bible for yourself to see if it is as infallible as claimed here.
