Like I've said many times before. Christians are 'in love' with the Bible and can never see any problems with it. For them, it is the standard by which the rest of the world is judged.
And when conflicts arise between the Bible and the rest of then world then it is the rest of the world that has to be found wanting and mental gymnastics that have to be performed in order not to allow any notion of imperfection to be levied at this oh, so perfect work of fiction.
And with respect, rjh4's whole ascertain seem to be.. "The Lord works in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform." Which never really answers anything.
