Yes. The Prophets and Scribes of the ancient times were the scientists and historians. They even had the Big Bang Theory : ) A very good case can be made that the Bible was the foundation for modern science. It was wrong in most instances but it is very important to have theories to test against. Most of our theories of today, will ultimately be proven to be wrong or at least not complete, we 'know' that much : )
“[The Bible] was wrong in most instances but it is very important to have theories to test against.”
I would agree that the perspective of the prophets was ancient. They could see an airplane in a vision and think it was a flying beast. But that doesn’t discredit the Bible. It adds to the great Book’s wonder.
