Quote:
None of it matters. The ancient Jews were not a scientific people. They were nomads who only grudgingly acclimated to city living, and who had no interest in astronomy. (The fact that they used a lunar calendar shows their disinterest in farming.) They weren't stargazers, nor philosophers, and so, of course, their writings were inattentive to such details.

Silas raises a good point; the bible is a bad source for scientific evidence because it wasn't written by god, and isn't even god's words. It was written and interpreted by people, many of whom weren't motivated by scientific thought. Maybe it would do ICR and the rest of the creation-scientists good to "take the bible seriously, but not literally"
