Job 32-34

Just read an appropriate post at Pharyngula: The idea that the Bible should be interpreted as a metaphor is a good one — because it melts the superstition away.. I guess I need to stop trying to take every word of the bible literally, not that I know how else to take it.

Elihu was showing respect for his elders by just listening while they squabbled, but now they've reached a dead end in their discussion he's decided to let them know he thinks their arguments were flawed. He is very sure that he knows better than them.

Sadly, archeological evidence that a town or tribe actually existed does not mean that a particular book of the Bible is historical. That the Red Sea exists does not mean that Moses parted it, or that Moses even existed.
