Not going to happen. It's like that silly thing about “pi”, an argument it has brought up several times before and the old and treasured favorite, ‘Your faith is weak if you don't agree that ........’, or ‘Is so and so a Christian?’ Or something else equally inane.

Someone who wants to find a problem with Scripture is going to find it no matter how ridiculous the argument. If they can't find something, they will make it up.

It always gets down to people believe because they want to believe. If they don't want to believe, there's nothing in this world that will convince them because they will find some excuse to reject Scripture and thereby God.

What's really amusing is the lengths people will go to to find some reason to do just that, be it the whole nonsense about the Bible teaching that pi = 3 or the accusation that creationists have to be flat-earthers because someone decided that the Bible teaches that the earth is flat.

OTOH, it does say a lot about the integrity of Scripture that they have to go to such lengths to discredit it.

It would be surprising to see the attackers of the Scriptures come up with something new. But it's just the same old line from the atheist script, Luke's genealogy vs. Matthew's, ‘Pi isn't 3’, ‘David was which child of Jesse’, and other flotsam.
