Testing fact and doctine as part of our evolution

I love the Bible. I believe in the One True God and I believe In the creation of the universe. But I say many of the unbelievable accounts in the inspired Truth and Light are simple misinterpretations of original spoken traditions and ancient writings.

One account that I see clearly as a misunderstanding is the age of Methuselah. Literal interpretations take Methuselah's 969 years to be exactly 969 solar years. But I say "see" understand that many peoples count a mans age in moons. Of course an ancient teller or writer would not see a need to specify moons as every one would understand the account as being months rather than years in contemporary culture. 80.75= 969/12 moons, this would be an astounding accomplishment in longevity for the times.

The sacred nature of our relationship with GOD should not prevent us from seeing the truth and correcting such simple and clear misunderstandings in a great resource. My lord Jesus held such wisdom as a core of his understanding of GOD. Our relationship with GOD is too important for Biblical inconsistencies to be dismissed as ideas to be accepted by faith when wisdom and common sense might reform the WORD of GOD as it was meant to be SPOKEN. Consider the age of Methuselah when his first child was born, most known text place this at 187. When does a man first become sexual active and fertile? 187 ÷ 12 moons = 15.58333 so I say Methuselah was a father at 15 years and some 7 months of age. Isn't this important? I think it is very important to correctly remember the birth of such a one correctly.
