Seemed like a good description. Still don't trust it. However, this chapter keeps with the theme of accepting parts of the science you like while saying ignore the bits that point to an older earth or universe.

This could have been an interesting chapter if the author provided more than the Christian perspective. You'd think the Jewish one would be included at least. Don't trust their descriptions.

There are more citations in this chapter than most of the others... Hoge accepts how some language adapts but why trace it to Babel? The more interesting parts were the throw away details unrelated to language. Babel is a nice fairytale but this chapter does little to take my thoughts past that

Although this essay does have some good descriptions of how errors can occur, it really does not address the bigger contradictions. It covers the simple, they didn't know any better or language changes ones.

Poor explanation of the Scope's trial. The significance, which was the point of the essay, should have been more than one page.

An essay to disprove Egyptology... Bad apologetics for why Noah's flood (and other stories) is more accurate than Egyptian records. I'll side with the Egyptians

Some details correct, some very wrong. Rapid burial is only part of the process...

Isn't this book a bit of evidence to show the Bible isn't enough?

There is no difference between historical and observational science. This chapter demonstrates a poor understanding of history and religion as a whole. The Bible is the claim. Christianity and Western religion is noticeably different than eastern or non Abrahamic varieties. Poorly understanding and explaining science will fool some but not all

Some bad analogies. Again, your deity is the claim. You can explain your theology all day, but I need something a little more tangible
