Re: The Bible and Science
I vote in favor of the accuracy of the Bible in several versions.
Some work VERY hard to duplicate the original language, and are almost unreadable due to the cumbersome phraseology in English.
Some word VERY hard to be easy to read, and do some damage to the original meanings in so doing.
Most fall in between these two extremes.
The KJV is almost word-for-word the text of the original Geneva Bible.
The Geneva Bible, with each new printing, had added more and more marginal notes.
The flavor of those notes had become distinctly anti-monarchy.
King James did not like that.
He authorized a new 'translation', but it actually was almost identical to the existing translation - but with all the marginal notes removed!
But, like BlackEagle, I have gone back to the original languages again and again on various passages from the KJV, and have not found any substantial difference.
