I'm not sure whether there is any basis for this assumption in the text though..

If you believe it’s the Word of God then it’s got just what it was suppose to have in it, nothing more and nothing less. Most of the debated things are just not that important on the scale with things that are cut and dry, by design. It’s like the science thing, there is science in the Bible, but the Bible is not a science book. Science is more of a way to describe the function of the lego blocks that make up the world around us, the Bible is more concerned with how the lego blocks came about and what the cosmic purpose of them is. Which is why science and Bible are never at odds, just like how metaphysics is never at odds with physics. Or how things like gravity and light are well beyond the scope of biological evolution.
