What if God simply wanted to use simple imagery to communicate a message that would not easily fit in a thousand pages or so? What use to most people have for a detailed origin of the universe, which eludes the modern mind, which would take libraries and libraries and libraries full of books to be able to establish?
Can you offer a single argument that proves why God should prefer this method of libraries full of scientific literature to communicate God's nature and the role God had in history over a simple, memorizable perhaps to some degree an abstraction of a complex series of events that really have next to no role in most of the people's lives.
Put it in formal logic (self evident propositions + presuppositions -> conclusion ) . I want to see what sort of presupposition about God's nature would be required to sustain a view of the world that makes the Bible useless if it does not give people more advanced and detailed knowledge of the universe in the ancient world, including knowledge that would potentially give people the ability to make nuclear weapons.
