Yes but you have to remember that dame Barbara Cartlands books outsold the Sears and Sallinger Thermodynamics text I have. I would turn to the latter rather than the former for an idea about the way the physical world works though....Ammount of copies sold is not any sort of validation of a work of fiction....

On the other hand, the sales records strongly indicate the Bible is not "second rate" as you and others would have us believe.

Actually the OT is a fairly interesting (if fanciful) read, its only the NT that drags on and is 2nd rate....Also Dame Barbara Cartlands sales records also strongy indicate that her work is not second rate....Problem is that that indication is misleading as her books are absolutely gash.....I personally never said that the bible is second rate, theres some really good material in the OT, but it is fiction none the less and is not validified by any number of copies sold....
