I note that shoeshineboy has not been in this thread to support this collection of books some call "holy".
If it is held to the standard of "holy", then yes, the Bible is errant. And that is because it teaches unholiness while it is called "holy".
Cache Landing and rcanfiel both have put me on ignore.
The point is, at some point, there is no more conversation between the truth and those who demand that illusions be true, and back their positions with sophistry. Unable and unwilling to debate, minds close and the doors are barred and the joints are riveted that not a single ray of light may chance it's way inside.
And then, people wonder why God seems to be absent from this world. It is not God who hides, it is this world's inhabitants who hide from God.
The Bible is just another brick in the wall that keeps God out of this world, allowing it's inhabitants to maintain madness for the sake of madness.
One thing is for certain...from what the world's denizens want, God cannot save them. The world is exactly what it's denizens have wanted it to be, and it's "God" is exactly as hell's angels prefer.

Quote from armoured saint:

There was a species of extinct animal closely related to the rhinoceros that inhabited central asia, and were breifly mentioned from some early accounts, as well as being mentioned they were practically extinct at the time.
Quite long legged, with a central fibrous horn, fossil evidence had been found of them.
Do we have a unicorn, something with a remarkable resemblance to a horse, painted white, -no.
Evidence of worldwide flood? Evidence of significant, somewhat localised flooding, in times when the known world was pretty-small.
Big difference, between evidence based, and myth/legend based, huh.
Someone painting something, or writing something, paticularly in an age of utter ignorance, superstition and folk tales constitutes very little imo.
Quote from yip1997:
Since you like debating, may I ask the following question just for fun?
How can one prove that unicorns never existed, and worldwide flood never happened?
If there were a worldwide flood as described in the Book of Genesis (and also in many other ancient texts), there would be geological evidence of such. There is not.
As for unicorns, I await the fossil evidence in the upper strata (unicorns, according to the Bible, lived at the same time as humans).
