Are you seriously saying anyone should consider the Bible a reliable and accurate geology resource?

By your tag line I suspect you have no time at all for anything in the bible.

I have no time for those that try to use the Bible as a science text with the intention of replacing sound science with fables and allegory. The Bible was written with an intention in mind, it was written by people who had no idea of the physical basis for their environment, but needed an explanation for events within that environment.

If you want to use it as a source of inspiration, consolation or even as a moral compass, then fine, but to attempt to use it as a source of geology, biology, physics, mathematics, astronomy, or any other science is a fools errand.
