I just happened across a verse in reading a book today – 2 Esdras 6:42. It says:
Upon the third day thou didst command that the waters should be gathered in the
seventh part of the earth: six parts hast thou dried up, and kept them, to the
intent that of these some being planted of God and tilled might serve thee.
Could anyone who regards this verse as sacred Scripture be misled into thinking that the Bible is a science textbook?
