Xeno-x, When one sees how much is lost in translation and nuance between isolated speakers of the 'same' language (e.g., English) from different geographic locations (Southwest US, Northeast US, Canada, Scotland, Australia) and different generations even in one's own lifetime (a teenaged urban gang member, a rural farmer) and from historical times (try reading Shakespeare or Old English) and with different cultural experiences from generation to generation and from age to age and then to try to understand the nuance and vision and understanding of ancient peoples (which we see through our contemporary lenses and biases) and as you mention the errors in translation by copying from one language to another to another, to think that the Bible has no human element incorporated into it is suspect.

Xeno-X -- The Bible needs no defense -- God himself as He is
doing in our day will defend his own word -- as we all watch this Jacob/Esau/Ismael family feud play itself out!
