Re: Our own list?
Literally true does not mean the Bible doesn't use figurative language to describe a literal truth. I don't see why that's so hard to understand.
So then how does one know which is which?
Is Lot's wife's turning into a pillar salt literal or figurative?
Is the serpent's talking to Eve literal or figurative?
Is Jesus' feeding 5000 with 5 loafs & 2 fishes literal or figurative?
Is the parting of the Red(Reed) Sea literal or figurative?
Is Jonah's 3 days in a fish's stomach literal or figurative?
Is Mathusale's living 969 years literal or figurative?

Re: Twenty Facts and Counting...
Next 10:
21) the chemical structure of the dust of the earth & that of man are not the same.
22) language families predate the tower of Babel
23) The great Pyramid predates the alleged flood
24) The moon is not a "light"
25) Joshua couldn't have stopped the sun for the sun doesn't move relative to the earth.
26) If Eve was made from Adam's rib, she would have been male "Y" Chromosomes
27) Changing Lot's wife into a pillar of salt would have needed mass transmutation of elements, The energy which would have vaporized Lot & his 2 daughters.
28) 40 years of wandering in Sinai would have left some physical evidence of which there is none.
29) Jonah would have suffocated being the stomach of a fish for 3 days.
30) serpents don't eat dust.

pg31. 'the languages of Europe and northern India can be arranged in a kind of family tree that goes back to a single Proto-Indo-European predecessor...'At some point, ALL indo europeans spoke the same language and at some later point various groups must have spread across Europe in one of the great undocumented migrations of prehistory'
You are obviously reading something into the passage which is not there.
note the bold parts for emphasis. The writer is talking about the Indo European peoples, not all peoples.The PIE is the forerunner to the Germanic, Slavic, Romance, Greek, Keltic, Albanian, Bulgar, Hittite, Armenian, Persian & Hindi, the Indo-European Languages
