You're talking about a mixed assortment of heavily plagiarized, mistranslated, later day reselected, heavily damaged and partially reassembled scrolls handed down from various tribes of middle-eastern sandal wearing bronze age goat herders. If you believe it's useful as a modern day science book, you've got a huge problem.
Well - one of us has a problem..... I just hope and pray that you find the solution before it's too late.....
Alex, may I have, "Begging the question" for $200, please?
The questions may roughly be summarized in this order:
1) Is there a God?
2) Does God intervene in the affairs of people, or in the natural world?
3) Did God, as part of His intervention, revealed any truths (say) to the ancient Hebrews?
4) Did the Hebrews get it down correctly?
5) How badly did mistranscriptions, typos, and cultural influences distort any message?
6) If the message did make it through, was it intended to be taken literall in a formulaic, more or less rigorous, engineering sense? If not, is it still useful by analogy, or as a metaphysical guide, so to speak? E.g. even in University science classes, much of what is taught at the 101 classes is found to be BS or crude approximations by the time you reach graduate school...
You apparently skipped right to step 6.
Cheers!
