I think the problem is looking at the bible as if "if one part is wrong the whole thing is wrong". Consider this:</p>
</p>
The bible is a human construct written by humans regardless of how much (if any) divine inspiration is attributed to it. If God is perfect, then Got itself could make a perfect Bible, but would a flawed, imperfect creature such as a human really comprehend it--especially humans millenia old--before the concept of Pi, and the concept of "0" was known, much less understood? IMHO God using humans to create the bible (assuming God exists, of course), would be like Leonardo using a paint roller to create the Mona Lisa--stuff gets lost and garbled in the translation.</p>
</p>
Further, applying the analogy similar to God->human = Adult ->Child, It could also be argued that what humans could comprehend millenia ago compared to what they can comprehend now is like the comprehension of a child vs. an adult. A children's book that states the sun rises in the east, moves across the sky, and sets in the west is geared for a target audience with only a specific level of comprehension--one that probably cannot grasp celestial mechanics. It doesn't mean that, as one gets older, it should negate the rotation of the earth as the mechanism which makes the sun appear to move across the sky from east to west simply because a book geared towards an audience with less grasp of the universe's mechanisms said so years ago.</p>
</p>
IMHO of course.</p>
