I’ve blogged about this before. It is a good reason for concluding that the Bible is the work of human beings who were not given scientific knowledge beyond what was available in their own time. The alternative is to say that God chose not to reveal some basic facts that could have saved countless lives. I can’t imagine why any conservative believers would prefer to defend their extrabiblical doctrine about the nature and authority of the Bible, at the price of depicting God as a diabolical monster, rather than accept the Bible as it shows itself to be.
