I was in high school and from a garage sale bought an old book on archeology in the middle east. I was skimming the author's introduction and noted:
"There are several sources for what we know about history. We have written records from those who lived during and after the events. We can, through archeology, study what they left behind. And finally, we have the bible, which is the most accurate source because it is the literal word of God on what happened."
I rolled my eyes, closed the book, and regretted not being able to return it.
