Just for the record, the scientific method didn't exist in biblical times. They weren't trying to even appear to follow "scientific standards" because they hadn't been established yet and wouldn't be for many centuries. They were using the standards of their culture. It's one thing to point out that they used different standards that don't conform to modern ones; it's quite another to suggest that they were trying to make people think they were conforming to standards that nobody knew anything about, including the folks who wrote the Bible. ------------------------ Yahoo!
