Perhaps Glenn is seeing your willingness to label, parts of the Bible as
artifacts of ANE cosmology as a lack of willingness to pursue the truth
wherever it leads. Don't misunderstand me: I tend to lean more in your
direction than Glenn's. But Glenn does have a point: passing off features of
Scripture as artifacts of ANE cosmology can be an easy way to avoid some
difficult reasoning.
