Dave, do you know when the notion of inerranccy developed? II Tim 3:16 says
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting
and training in righteousness,
Doesn't say it's inerrant -- merely that it is God-breathed and useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness -- IOW as a guide
for Christian living, and since it's a God-breathed guide, it can be trusted.
But it doesn't say anything about being scientifically accurate.
