When teaching or explaining to a large group (let alone all of humanity) one must teach to the 'slowest' person in the group. Otherwise you'd loose all but a hand ful. This way only a handful is lost.
Except that this doesn't work, because writing it for their comprehension means you lose a lot more students in the current time period, perhaps all. The population then was much less than it is now, and since Christianity is based on belief, then endangering the belief of present day Christians is more dangerous than endangering the belief of less skeptical earlier men. And an omniscient god would know this. If this god is interested in our salvation, he would aim for scientific accuracy rather than simplicity, as the early believers wouldn't be as likely to judge negatively based on the presence of scientific accuracy. Current believers will judge negatively for the lack of scientific accuracy. The early believers were less critical, and there were fewer of them. Logic says you aim to please the last rather than the first.
See how easy it is to spin an ad hoc explanation? I don't even know if it's a better ad hoc explanation than yours. What I do know is you are responding with ad hoc explanations, basically "making it up as you go along." And that's no way to proceed if you want to arrive at the truth, as there will always be such ad hoc explanations. They don't test the original question; only your ability to make shit up. The original question remains unproved. But thanks for so clearly demonstrating the hollowness of your apologetic.
