People underestimate and miss the genuinely profound and valuable insights in the Bible for many of the same reasons they underestimate and miss the world changing elements of Bitcoin.

They think they understand it, and don’t think it’s important enough to dedicate more time to understanding it. They see individual trees but miss the forest.

Example: look at the chiastic structure in Genesis 8. This is just one of thousands of examples of this kind of phenomenon in the Bible. Whatever you may say about it, you can’t argue that this was written by ignorant and/or backwards men.
