Further, @John_Warren, we will have to explore the assumption that a book written about God that we read in English is a reliable representation of a God 4000 years ago … written by an unknown scribe … with an unknown context … with unknown motivations for why he (or she?) was writing!
I think there are a great many more unknowns in your scenario than in the scenario of understanding how Gravity changes as an object rises higher in the sky …
if E=mc2 wasn’t reliable, my GPS would probably put my car right into your front porch, instead of in front of a KFC, ordering one of their delicious chicken pot pies!
This kind of reliability is pretty gosh darn impressive … while a comparison of Genesis or Kings with Chronicles reveals a barrage of differences, disagreements and contradictions regarding names, time spans, genealogies and even events!
Why would God give us Chronicles ? … when all it does is vouch for the unreliability of the Old Testament?
