What I meant by cherrypicking is that you take only good parts of the bible and ignore the bad ones.
So what is wrong with cherrypicking? I see it done with other historical texts all the time.
Why is it extremely improbable? I observe things happen often that seem to defy our current understanding of biology, that doesn't mean they do, but when such observations are often made, doesn't that increase the probability that biology has a lot of room for large changes, just as it has in the past?
