The Bible claims God as its author.

So can any book.

The Bible has proven itself reliable through its scientific accuracy, prophetic fulfillment, durability and archeaology.

You mean the bit about rabbits chewing cud, or grasshoppers having four legs?

No, I was kidding with you, were you at the end of the line when Evolution passed out "humor?" Not everything in the Bible is to be take literally.

But the Genesis account is to be taken literally. Or is it? I'm confused.

"The Bible claims God as its author."

True, but they don't pass the other tests. As with any book the Bible should be read in its entirety and with consideration to the many literary forms.


"But the Genesis account is to be taken literally. Or is it? I'm confused."

The Creation account is only a few pages. The Bible is not a scientific text. That is not its purpose. The question is whether the brief explanation holds up to what we know about this earth.
