I have a bit of a problem with the use of the word "scientific" in the title. "Literary" would be a more suitable word here.
What we have here is two books of uncertain origin, probably written or compiled by multiple authors and editors. The newer of the two appears to borrow from the older book. In the borrowing, the anthologists (whoever they were) probably corrected a few things. In my opinion, this is acceptable practice.
It is not, however, proof that one book is superior to the other. Nor is it proof that either one is accurate, nor that it was authored or inspired by a supernatural being. |
