[QUOTE="LewisWildermuth, post: 48026299, member: 2695"] They fall under the modern definition of fiction. Remember, the OT of the Bible was written before the concepts of history/science/fiction were divided. There may be some real people in those genealogies, but they cannot be labeled as historic writings since none existed at the time. At best you could say that some of the writings in the Bible may or may not fit with historical facts, but all the writings fit with the theology of the writers/editors at the time of writing/editing. I agree that the Bible is written by people trying to understand the world, God and themselves, but that does not make it a science book. It makes it a book more closely related to theology than anything else in modern terms. [/QUOTE]
