Ah, pete, there you are!

Did you read my post of the 5th Feb? Or did it get lost among all the wearisome, petty, childish squabbling? Anyway, it was about the unreliability of 'historical' accounts in the Bible. If you missed it, here it is again:

"Our mate pete - or rather the fundamentalists he follows on their websites - are continually pointing out, or obsessively searching for, 'flaws' in the scientific account of evolution. They are desperate to believe biblical accounts of "creation" instead. But now it appears that the Bible doesn't always (?) contain "true" accounts of "history" either.

For example, researchers at Tel Aviv University have recently discovered that: "Camels were first introduced to Israel around the 9th century BCE, centuries after they were depicted in the Bible as Patriarch-era pack animals."
