Out of the 5400 manuscripts found of the NT written in the original Greek, where they contain the same scriptures, no two agree. Not even the smallest credit card sized pieces.

Most of those errors are punctuation and grammar, but there are some pretty significant differences as well, entire chunks of books missing (or added), sometimes even with notes in the margins from scribes annotating the differences.

Maybe when DA is talking about biblical infallibility he's talking about the general view of fundamentalists in that every word in the Bible is inspired and is to be taken exactly literally.. that religious tolerance page that talks about the ways errors could be introduced would be seen as heretical to such.

Some view the Bible as inspired by God in the same way that a beautiful woman inspires a song or a painting; fully created by humans in their quest to understand and express their views on God.
