The UnFragmented Bible looks at why Galileo was branded a heretic for making a new scientific discovery that conflicted with the “precision” / “video camera footage” view of the Bible, and how this approach to Scripture today creates misapplication and adds to the gospel. This episode’s exploration leads to the beautiful, magnificent, compelling, actual message of the Bible that gets lost when we read it on our terms instead of the way God has given it to us.
Is the Bible Precise? – The UnFragmented Bible, E3
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.

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.”
