[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]BBC1 is assuming that everyone spanks their children.   Must be something in the bible about that. [/quote]

Why, indeed there is:

Proverbs 23:12
Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

jew here.

Law does not come from Proverbs.  [/quote]

BBC1

That is true, the Proverbs are not law, but they are wise sayings profitable for wisdom, and on how to train up your child to be righteous.

They were written by Solomon, one of the wisest people to have ever lived.   His God-given wisdom is worth heeding, certainly more than some psychologist like Timothy Leary who advised "turn on, tune in, drop out."

Everyone has an authority when it comes to living.  I choose the bible.  It has not steered me wrong yet. [/quote]

G-d created the world. Learning from the world - by observation, including science - is therefore following G-d. Even the wisest man who lived thousands of years ago is not an authority over that.   To quote a gentile, Bernard of Chartres

"Bernard of Chartres used to compare us to dwarfs perched on the shoulders of giants. He pointed out that we see more and farther than our predecessors, not because we have keener vision or greater height, but because we are lifted up and borne aloft on their gigantic stature."[/quote]
