May I add, that in the opinion of most Christians, the methods by which the stories have come down to us are not a problem as they consider the value of scripture to be it's ability to speak to their spiritual life through the interpretive framework of our human lives and our human world today. Most Christians use contemporary frames of reference to interpret meaning from the bible that informs their own religious journey.
Humans are the animals who for some reason have decided that an intellectual life built on thoughts, ideas and the creation of meaning, is essential to being what we conceive as human. We can use many different tools to create meaning. Christians use the bible to create meaning. Some are all hard core about it and others are more intuitive about it.

having passed through many states of believing I was right I have come to the place of finding "rightness" rather irrelevant to the project of becoming human
