What I was saying was that nowhere in the Bible does it assert that the various stories presented in the Torah are eyewitness accounts of history (which is what was being claimed by another poster).

Uh ... that other poster would be ... Moi.

I don't claim the Bible asserts that there are eyewitness accounts. I ... me ... Moi ... assert that there are accounts which are very likely eyewitness accounts judging from what appears to be the signatures of the authors of the various sections.

And you have been, and are being (in the thread you're avoiding), eviscerated on this point.
After this many of your worthelss threads, it isn't even a surprise anymore.

There are no signatures of any author in any book of the Bible. Sorry, Dave.

No, Dave. It wouldn't be. I was talking about some claims made by Robert Byers.

Not everything on this board revolves around you, you know...
