What I make of it is that this is a good example of why Jesus established an infallible Church before the inerrant book was written.

The Catholic Church discerned which books were and were not inspired under the direction of the Holy Spirit.
(bold mine)

Infallible church?  Huh.  Pedophile priests; AIDS in Africa; the fact that no pope, at least in modern times, agrees with the next; the Inquisition; just to name a few.

Inerrant book?  Global flood; immaculate conception; zombies; rape and murder by your inerrant god; a tree of knowledge?  You have to be effing kidding me on this.  
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
