News flash.... The Hebrew Prisests did not write the stories... these are the inerrant words of God, written by mere men as they were inspired by the Holy Spirit.When the Hebrew priest were compiling the story of their origins in Babylon they had no way of knowing about science and evolution. They appropriated the Mesopotamian story of Adam, assuming he was the first man. The earth, it's age and the fossils within the stratified layers present a completely different story. The scriptures were intended for spiritual instruction to an Israelite audience.
If you want to study the origins and application of the biblical text.. you will never find 66 books written in separate times, with 35 separate authors of all walks of life and education level or careers....through all different times of war, peace, slavery and times of freedom... that are held together by such uncanny accuracy and continuity.
Not only that, but the time span from events to documentation to written as history is quicker than any of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, or any other famous ancient writings that are held to be more solid than the bible.
Combine that with the total number of original transcripts, parchments and documents for the bible far outweighs those for the commonly held truths of the aforementioned men of respected wisdom.
The bible is the living word of God... if it contradicts any common belief of men of any intellect or education or knowledge or "wisdom" it's only because we haven't found the truth, yet, in that regard.
Remember, God has said that "all will be reveled" and "the wisdom of men is foolishness"
So, I'll stick with the bible... not the words of mere, soon to be reveled as fools, men of so called knowledge and wisdom.
