Again, the Bible was not written to be a science book or history book.
As expected ...
I was impressed by the RATE researchers' credentials and they seem to have published a fair amount. For some for some reason it seems to be all with the Institute for Creation Research?


Here's a quote from answeringenesis.org ... this is why many of us here find some aspects of Christianity so dismaying.

When a scientist’s interpretation of data does not match the clear meaning of the text in the Bible, we should never reinterpret the Bible.
.... and like you said, for me a literal interpretation of the Bible ... blah, blah, blah... I am a scientist

A literal interpretation of the Bible just does not pass mustard when it comes to the abundant evidence against. Be a scientist just a bit ... it will help.
