In "Progress or Return," chapter 10 of Pangle's book, Strauss claims (p. 266) that Biblical revelation has not been affected by either science or textual analysis.
The scientific criticisms are inadequate because they presuppose "that everything happens naturally; but this is denied by the Bible. ... All the evidence supplied by geology, paleontology, etc., is valid against the Bible only on the premise that no miracle intervened."
The textual criticisms, such as the one here, reveal only that there "are secrets" in the Bible, not that it is a human creation.
