Can you really fault atheists for drawing attention to Biblical inaccuracies and inconsistencies when you consider the claim of it being The Absolute Truth? Even maintaining that the Bible is simply God's infallible word, written by fallible men presents a major plot hole, doesn't it?
Actually no, there isn't a plot hole, man penned what God inspired them to write. I asked if you would "cherry pick" school studies, I noticed you did not happen to mention that, must have been an over site. When someone "cherry picks" any works they can find supposed inconsistencies and or inaccuracies. Like I said when a supposed inaccuracies or contradiction is found does one stop and accept it or does one dig deeper and find the truth, I did when I found what seemed wrong in the Bible and always found the truth, I was wrong and the Bible was right, I'm still doing that to this day with the Bible. When anyone has stated they have found an inaccuracy or contradiction in the Bible and it came to my attention I always showed how it wasn't true and gave an explanation and sometimes other verses to support the verses as truth. When scientist run into an apparent contradiction in their work, do they stop and say well seems we are wrong this contradiction says so, no they go on looking to find the truth what ever it may be. So, again I say "cherry picking" is a cheap and dishonest way to discredit any works, period.
