Regarding the Bible / History section, I made two separate sections because Biblical statements about Lucifer being the first musician, or post-flood music dating from the time of Abraham are not verifiable by the methods of historians. [[User:Eoinc|Eoinc]] 12:11, 4 May 2008 (EDT)

: Thanks for explaining that first bit in more detail.  I'll leave it to TerryH to see how much he agrees, as he's the author of that section.

: Regarding the biblical history part, this seems to be special pleading.  The way that historians of ancient history "verify" things is mainly from ancient documents supplemented where possible by archaeological evidence (which is usually far less specific, except regarding location).  So the Bible being a reliable ancient document, what's the problem?
