Deception implies intent. There is no deception if they described it the best they could with the words they had to work with. Even today we struggle with accurately conveying ideas with written and spoken word, even when we're honestly trying to convey it the best we can.
“Deception implies intent. There is no deception if they described it the best they could with the words they had to work with.”
As I said in the last post, this idea doesn’t make sense. There are no shortcomings in the Hebrew that would force one to diverge so radically from the evolutionary account, if that is what you were trying to describe in more “primitive” language. Some ideas might be described euphemistically, or only partially, or even left out entirely, but you wouldn’t have descriptions which were plainly contradicting the evolutionists’ account.
If you want to keep up on this line of argument, then explain how the language was unable to make a simple description which didn’t have contadictions. How is it impossible, in Hebrew, to say “God created life, and that life begat other kinds of life”, rather than “God created one kind of life. Then he rested. Then God created another kind of life. The he rested, etc”.
