The Bible is basically like a milleniums-old game of "telephone." You know, you start off with one thing at the beginning, and then it gets passed down from one person to the next, translated into different languages (some languages don't linearally translate into each other), edited along the way, and interpreted differently by different generations.
So while it may have started out as the literal word of God (which I don't believe in the first place), I'm sure it's been quite altered from its original form along the way.
The way I see, the Bible isn't meant to be taken at face value anyway. And those who see it that way are kind of missing the point of Christianity. I think it's meant to be analyzed and studied for what it is, not what it claims to be.
You'll never learn the truth by believing everything you read.
I just have a very hard believing that a single book can hold all the truths of the world. I believe that a higher being would reveal itself to everyone in its own way, not just to those who happen to be able to read in the language the book is written in.
