E3 - Is the Bible Precise?

What this episode covers

The UnFragmented Bible breaks down the modern value of precision and how the Bible makes it clear that the ancient biblical authors (and God!) did not share this value when they wrote Genesis.When we force our human demands onto God's word, it becomes our word instead of His. We end up missing the message He has for us, creating unnecessary crises of faith and competitions with modern science and archeology. Show notes: There's an error starting between 23:44 and 24:01 (timelines vary based on podcast player) where I say "each star is the sun of its own galaxy, with planets encircling it like the Milky Way." Correction: -Each star is the sun of its own solar system. -Planets don't circle the Milky Way / galaxies, they circle their sun, which we call a solar system. -There are an estimated 100-400 billion suns in our galaxy, the Milky Way. -There are an estimated 2 trillion galaxies like the Milky Way. -The Andromeda Galaxy is one we can see with the naked eye. Hundreds of billions of galaxies have been observed through The Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope. The point in the podcast remains the same, I just said the wrong word accidentally, and now you have much more (amazing) scientific information about the universe than you asked for! https://bibleproject.com/podcasts/series/ancient-cosmology/ The Bible Project PodcastAncient Cosmology SeriesEp. 1: Genesis 1 and the Origins of the UniverseMay 17, 2021 Support and interact:  www.patreon.com/noahfilipiak
