The UnFragmented Bible looks at Galileo being branded a heretic by the Church for a scientific discovery that disagreed with their "video camera footage" view of the Bible. Much of the Church still views the Bible and science in this combative, mutually exclusive fashion, even though the Bible doesn't present itself in this way. These unbiblical distractions, manufactured by the Church, create crises of faith, add to the gospel, and keep many educated people from putting their faith in Jesus. This episode concludes by diving into what the message of the Bible actually is when we strip away these unbiblical and unnecessary additives. #faithandscience #science #bible #christianity #archaeology Support and interact: https://www.patreon.com/noahfilipiak

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!

The plain text of Genesis 1:1-2 show that the early chapters of Genesis aren't meant by the authors (or God) to be read as video camera footage, or what Answers in Genesis defines as "real history."

This approach isn't supported by the text and rather than accept the Bible on its terms, forces unbiblical human terms onto it, forcing it to answer questions it was never intended to answer. This has caused us to miss the biblical meaning and purpose of the creation account, but even more concerning, they've been added onto the gospel of Jesus. This has caused many to throw out their faith altogether when they learn scientific and archeological facts later in life that contradict what they were raised in as the inerrant Word of God.

The choice doesn't have to be doubling down on extrabiblical concepts like humans riding dinosaurs and belief in fire-breathing dragons in order to keep the Bible "real history" or throwing the whole Bible (and faith) out as nonsense.
