Buahahahahaha

You refer to quotes from the Bible as if they are scientific writ.

The Bible is very nice. Theologically, it is probably true. But as a scientific text it is bubkis.

It was written for a bunch of just post-savage people to whom science was a concept that was totally foreign. It had to be dumbed down so the target audience could understand it.

If you need proof. just look at the Islamofascists who continue to interpret texts of that same time as a set of Marching Orders.

The Bible says to sew the land of your enemies with salt. It also suggested it was perfectly OK to send she-bears to kill little children who made fun of the Prophets.

Is it to be taken literally? Got any she-Bears on retainer?

A bible is not the word of God nor was it intended to.

Bible is the Latin word for a small collection of books. Only a few collections (bibles) survived the dark ages when books were banned and commanded burned. The first printing of the Christan bible was ~1600's and until then the common man did not own a bible nor was he permitted to read one. There was a major controversy as to what should be included, revised, or deleted. Later when it when it did not function well as a political or moral Allie for King James he commanded that it be revised and rewritten.
