Anonymous, often opposed by skeptics, has defended the Bible in hundreds of articles in Investigator Magazine. He described his method:

"I test the Bible statement by statement, claim by claim, anything I find that is testable by checking it against the latest scientific research I come across. Relying on mainstream science and news journals is part of normal scientific method.

I allow for figures of speech, poetry, context, parable and discoveries of textual critics. I've noticed hundreds of Bible statements which were considered false by scholars and critics but were later proven correct and the critics wrong.

Sometimes I generalize this observation and predict that Bible statements currently thought erroneous will likewise in future be shown by science to be correct."  (Investigator 56, 1997 September)

American scholar Jerry Bergman, Australian meteorologist Allan Brunt, Australian researcher in the defence industry Kevin Rogers, and a few others have also defended the Bible.

Is the Bible the "Word of God"?  Investigator Magazine has more than 35 years of reports and debates on this question!
