“Who cleaned up the Brachiosaurus’ poop”

I guess God is stupid. Or, maybe not. Maybe He trusted Noah to just take dinosaur eggs or baby dinosaurs.

Pro 17:28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips [is esteemed] a man of understanding.

The Bible, having been written by God, is unassailable.

Or maybe people are reading a scientific text into what was intended as a Pesher.

And if someone bases the view that the Earth is the center and the Sun circles around it based upon an interpretation of Biblical scripture, is that also “unassailable”?

Yes, the Bible is, but men are idiots who always try to make God in their image and constantly make assumptions about what the Bible means that they always have to change as knowledge advances. Doesn't mean the Bible changes, it means that man's knowledge expands. It is pride to believe that your understanding is unassailable. Man's understanding of God's word has gone up against expanding knowledge time and time again, and man's understanding has always lost. Geocentric universe? Heliocentric universe? That doesn't mean God's word is flawed, it means that man's understanding is flawed and his pride in his understanding is his Achilles heel.

The God I know didn't create a world that tricks people into not believing Him, it reveals him.

Science teaches us how God created the universe. The Bible teaches us why.

>> The Bible, having been written by God, is unassailable.

The Bible is divinely inspired — but God did not actually pen the words. The Bible is the Word of God, written by the hands of men.
