What do we make of those deductions? How come these deductions ever made it onto paper (via mouth) if the task is impossible? We could say that either it's fairy tale. I don't agree with that one because it stands up to stronger scrutiny than that. We could say it's contradictory and dismiss those that tell us it isn't.. but I don't see any logical debunking that holds water when held up to scrutiny.
Now we have to establish whether or not the deductions are correct, whether or not the bible is correct, etc. It's a debate of its own and I don't have the energy for it. Not in this thread anyway
