Eric Reitan was kind enough to engage some of those who commented on a post featuring a quote from him. The discussion has spread to his own blog, and most recently he has offered a lengthy response to one commenter who claimed that an errant Bible would imply a God who is either not omnipotent or not benevolent. But the gist of the argument is powerful in its simplicity: If such logic works in the case of the Scriptures, then the same logic would seem to apply to the world and God as creator thereof.
Does it make any sense to claim simultaneously that God could and did make a perfect Bible using fallible human beings to do so, but could or did not make a perfect world containing fallible human beings?
