Title: Re: Factual Errors in Bible
Thread: Does the Errancy of Fundamentalism Disprove the God of the Bible?
Message: Message 136

So, you're saying that creationists can't tell the difference between vomiting and defecation? That, literally, they can't distinguish between an anus and a mouth?
Your links amount to nothing more than "oh, it's close enough, don't bother us." Sure, it's close enough for a human book. We would expect mistakes in a human book.
In a divine book? Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, like my dad says. I would expect God, of all people, to be able to make sure the Hebrew bible authors knew a rabbit's asshole from a hole in the ground.
Made me laugh out loud, although other individuals coming from a different perspective may not have found this post as humorous as I did. {Full disclosure - this was written due to a response to one of my posts so I may be biased}

Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider - Francis Bacon
