Here is an addition to by post just above. When I went back to edit it, the forum wouldn't load...
How can it (the bible) be totally consistent and error-free when the earliest tellings conflict with the later? I know the earlier tellings are a recent discovery in the last 100 years or so, so one cannot cast blame for knowledge lost.
Now that this knowledge has been rediscovered, it seems only logical that a fresh perspective must be considered to achieve a fair academic veiw of the ancient history described in the bible.
