Christian Explanation

[Darwinian]

The problem is that if you take Genesis to be actual truth simply because it is written in the bible then what about other factual errors such as...

Matt 13:31-32: " "the kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed which…is the least of all seeds, but when it is grown is the greatest among herbs and becometh a tree."

There are 2 significant errors here, first, there are many smaller seeds, like the orchid seed and second, mustard plants don't grow into trees.

or..

Matt 4:8: " Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them."

Unless the world is flat, altitude simply will not help you see all the kingdoms of the earth.

or..

Lev 11:20-21: "All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you."

Fowls do not go upon all fours

and finally..

Lev 11:6: "And the hare, because he cheweth the cud..."

Hare do not chew the cud.

You see, to me, these and others are clear examples that the Bible is not the inspired word of God but instead has been written by fallible humans who did not possess any knowledge that was not available at the time and in some cases obviously possessed less. Would God make such a basic mistake as calling the mustard seed the 'least' and saying that it would grow into a tree? No, of course not.

If the numerous authors of the Bible can make such basic and serious mistakes how on earth can they be trusted to answer some of the most profound and important questions accurately?
