Quote:That disqualify it as the word of an infallible perfect god, yes.What makes you think that just because God is perfect, that the book that talks about him must also be perfect?
Is God the bible or is the bible God?
If the bible is not God then why do we look on it as having to be perfect?
Quote:And yes, I read the book a few months ago... but, being a bit ignorant of the bible itself, I couldn't analyze as well as you may.
The point I was trying to make was you said any 'fiction' can be reconciled, "just look at star wars." Which is at odds with what Bart said. "the bible has several key irreconcilable differences between the accounts."
Which means you are wrong if you hold that the bible is a work a fiction, Bart is wrong in what he said, or the bible is not a work of fiction..

The second films died for me when R2 D2 flew. There were so many times in the older films where that would have been handy but apparently it forgot it could do that.
the thing is with fiction it can be added upon to explain things like this.
By the time R2 was in episode 4 he was obsolete and partially non functional as per his problem with the 'help me obi wan kneobi' message he was stuck playing in a loop.
