The fundamental problem with taking the bible and most other holy books at face value is simple really. They're outdated.They were god knows how many years ago (pardon the pun) in a time where cultures were vastly different. On top of that language and our understanding of the world around us has evolved considerably since then, to even try and take them at face value these days is simple folly, which unfortunately is something alot of people do.
