Re: Majority Opinion
The astronomical sense of the word might be the more usual sense, but I'm just more used to the other, more loaded, sense, which in an indirect way could relate to slavery.
You keep talking about the 'other' sense of geocentrism as if everybody knew that there is another sense. I never heard of any other sense but the astronomical one. Would you care to explain?

So sorry, I didn't mean ALL the Bible is presented as history, but the parts that are presented as history are history.
That would exclude genesis, exodus and leviticus since those are clearly presented as myths
