::You really should re-read what I have written. I never said I agreed or disagreed with the SAB. I only suggested that debate from emotion is a poor approach. Shooting down one example out of literally thousands is meaningless. Finally, please don't proclaim that I don't grasp the Bible as I was a professional biblical scholar for over two decades and read, write and understand the original Hebrew text as well as I do English. I have written extensively on the subject. My point was that my opinion or anyone else's opinion should be irrelevant and the arguments must be debated on their merits, not emotion. So instead of rebuking me, perhaps you should pick up a copy of the book and address its claims rather than merely spouting your opinion. If you value the Bible then you would take it seriously. --[[User:Aaronratner|Aaronratner]] 00:57, 27 June 2015 (EDT)

Aaronratner, if you were a true scholar, you would realize that thousands of claimed contradictions is not the same as contradictions. The are manufacturers who have to recall a product which has thousands of customers because quantity is no substitution for quality.
Second, the Flat Earth society has been around for almost 50 years, so I hope you can understand why I am not impressed by the SAB being the work of 20 years of effort. Length of effort is not synonymous with quality of effort.
Third, your appeal to your alleged professional Bible scholar background is an appeal to authority and I am not impressed. By the way, the vast majority professional economics professors, did not predict the 2007/2008 economic crisis! On the other hand, there economists in the Austrian school of economics, who id predicted this crisis. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 15:25, 27 June 2015 (EDT)
