History or Science.

Dear group,

Sometime ago I asked, Why we do not have theistic evolutionary textbooks?

My main concern was to establish the fact that indeed TEs are content to
teach out of the books that atheists write and use.

Strangely, there was flurry of explanations and comments. One was that the
Bible was NOT a book of science

While I agree that the Bible was not meant to be about science, ***it is
about history.***

Evolution and Creation are histories. The truth of the history in Bible is
crucial to our theology.

Does anyone want to claim that the Bible is not a book of history?

Your comments please.
