I'm just commenting on what that dude said which was, "God inspired
human authors to compose sacred books."
So I'm wondering about all of the inconsistencies and the source of
the inspiration. For example
You are making the incorrect assumption that the Bible is the only document on
which Catholics base thier faith. If that was true then your assertion would
be correct. It isn't. Catholics also have 2000 years of tradition and other
writings on which we base our faith.
As for the first 11 cha
The Catholic interpretation of Genesis is that it is a STORY. It is not
scientific fact. The story teaches us that God is Love, but humans are not
(Cain and Abel). It also teaches that humans were given a free will to choose
and chose not to live in perfection (Adam and Eve). There are other

Cain and Abel weren't the only people on earth because they never existed.
If we are truly talking about the Catholic interpretation of the Creation
Story...it is just that, a story.

I don't think we'll ever really know what God said, or what happened
way back then.
So many wars, and so many different regimes. All of which seemed to

Ok, then what did he inspire, when, and to whom? Adam and Eve? Cain?
Abram? Not Jesus, because he specifically said you *shouldn't* write
down his words.
And why would God decided to inspire some p
Man wrote books inspired by "God".
The books are error prone. because...
Humans are, by definition, imperfect.
We know this because it says so in those error prone books inspired by "god"
and written by man.
Any chance that might have been a mistake and we are perfect after all?

That's easy dude. God only provided the inspiration. After that, they are
purely the result of human labor, which incurs all the biases and
imperfections inherent in the human animal.
You know, if you look at the big picture...maybe that's been the joke all
along: Look at how many different interp

Really? Cause these books are sure aren't very clear, clearly come

First, biblical fundamentalism does not answer legitimate scientific questions.
We need to clarify what it truly means to accept the inspiration of Holy
Scripture. God inspired human authors to compose sacred books. They pr
