Martin Tanner answers the question, "How accurate and reliable are the Old Testament books?" He points out that Genesis Chapter One was written to be a testimony that God created everything, not a precise scientific narrative. (No one believes the earth, light, oceans and plants were created before the sun, moon and stars). Martin provides an array of evidence, and sources, that verify the Exodus happened, Moses was a real person, Israelites were known to have established the land of Israel by at least 1,400 BC, and other facts in the Old Testament often thought to be myth or legend.
