But we know the bible isn't factual from the "get-go." All we have to do is read the first passeges of Genesis. No self-respecting scientist would accept the age of the Earth and the universe as described in Genesis. So there's the first loose thread. Then, as the bible continues, there are many "tugs" on the thread until the entire fabric lies on the floor in a pile of string.

Mazar's arguments are not really logical.
