Hey, tell it to the flat earthers, just like Christians that see six day creation in the Bible as bullshit should tell you few things.
And indeed that is the nature of Bible: it is supposed to be divinely inspired text and yet it's easily misunderstood that some people think how six day creation is real while other see it as a metaphor and acknowledge evolution and they all have best intentions -- and yet God supposedly chose this way to communicate with people.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
