“So you’re rather they be outright enemies than simply agreeing to disagree on the details.”
I’d rather that they be logically consistent, and if that makes them enemies, then so be it. If they want to believe that the Bible is an inaccurate account, and some other evidence they have dug up gives the accurate account, then they should just say that. It would be better than saying that this evidence helps “reconcile” the Bible, as if the Bible needs their help in order to be true.
Are you concerned about the Bible being true, or you being right?
