Religious truth is relative truth. It's an ongoing process at work to educate, cajole, encourage, and elevate the thinking of humankind. If such a thing was said today it would be clearly working against logic because of the prevailing educational standards. In the age in which it was written and then disseminated it may not have been taken so literally. We struggle with Shakespeare today and that's English from only a few hundred years back. The Old Testament has travelled a very circuitous route to be picked apart today.

No work could possibly hold its complete understanding over such a period because even if the language was accurate the inference of the language could not be retained completely. The integrity of the Bible is for the most part intact but there could very well appear to be anomalies after several translations and the drift of language meaning over thousands of years.

It is a work to be greatly admired after such an age. If any errors exist it is likely to have been at the hands of man and then without any malice of foresight.

Appreciate it for what it is. How many other works have come down to us from such distant pasts?
