Flat Earth and Geocentrism

[Esquilax]

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 lack of scientific accuracy. Current believers will.

This is a really excellent point, but it also raises another one: what's to stop an omnipotent god who has a message for all mankind to write two bibles, one that fits the limited knowledge of the people in the past, and another with a little message at the beginning that just says "trust me, to your descendant's descendants, this stuff will make a lot more sense..." and fill that book with stuff applicable to the present and beyond?

How much more credibility would that bible have, over the cheapo one we have now?
