Often: But not in this case. If you are going to believe in the text then you can't pick and choose which sentences you choose to acknowledge. According to the biblical story Lot was saved precisely because he was a good person. So, by definition, good people give their virgin daughters to mobs to be raped. It was just 7 paragraphs earlier in Genesis 19:1 where god sends not one but two angels to help him out. And not that many paragraphs later when again god helps him out because he is not one of the evil people that was destroyed with the city.

While you are trying to deal with it ... deal with this:

Plants are made on the third day before there was a sun to drive their photosynthetic processes (1:14-19). 1:11

So much for scientific accuracy.
