Struck by your comments on "dynamic inspiration." I think I agree mostly. Re: Descriptions of our natural world and the perception of these events -- I think it is important to keep in mind what the Bible is and what it is not. It is not a natural history of the earth or a scientific document. To dissect it as such is to miss it's purpose entirely. Science, being the product of man's knowledge and reasoning about one dimension of his existence can only provide one view of the handiwork of God and that, not a very apt one.

For the Bible is a desciption of the work of God in men's hearts over the years. Good & evil, divine purpose, etc. have little to do with scientific descriptions.

I don't feel compelled to "defend" every physical desciption of events in the Bible as wholly accurate from a scientific point of view for that is not what the Bible desribes -- scientific truths. But I will defend the Bible as God's revelation of absolute and ultimate spiritual reality and the proposition that God created all that we know to exist.
