Even the Bible doesn't consider itself in its entirety to be the word of God, there are passages that explicitly state they are not the word of God, but that of the author.
This in no way diminishes Christianity. Quite the opposite I would suggest.
As a case in point both the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury apparently believe in evolution and are fine with post-Big Bang cosmology. Takes a fair amount of 'interpretation' to reconcile a literal reading of Genesis with evolution and cosmology.

Diversionary much?
Word of God/spiritual guidance call it what you will but I wouldn't say it has ever been
completely silent.
