   There are so many "factually incorrect" statements in the Bible about   
   nature (the creation) and a lot of them are unnecessarily included in   
   the "metaphorical" presentation that it makes the Bible pretty much   
   impossible to use as any type of narrative providing accurate depictions   
   of nature.   
      
   Saint Augustine was correct that no one should use the Bible to deny   
   things about nature that we can figure out for ourselves.
