Well it’s like I said the Bible was written by men thousands of years ago so you can’t really take much of what it says literally.
Are you saying that anything written thousands of years ago can’t be taken literally, because writings thousands of years ago weren’t even then reliable? Like, people who lived so long ago were generally stupid?
Or are you speaking specifically to the fact that their scientific understanding was comparatively limited?
JEDIT: That was a question, not intended as a jab.
