The bible was written by men (as in males, mortal males who liked to think because they have something swinging between their legs they were super cool). Now, I'm a guy, dont get me wrong, but its so bloody obvious that the bible is just a method of control. Not only of women, but of other men. AND, you can tell it was written by 2000 year old guys because, if it was written by God, the bible wouldnt miss out on things like other planets, stars, hell, dinosaurs even. The lack of accuracy in the bible is attributed to the ignorance of the men who wrote it, and the fact that in their hurry to write a good control scheme, they didnt care to make the backstory plausible
