Science my dear. Books. Academia and logic.

Great post! Someone once said that we spend our lives trying to proove what we already believe. Scientists look to data; doctors look to psysiology; and archeologists look to old rocks and relics. This kind of news begs the question: how are you looking for your answers?

Sorry. the Bible also says in Kings 2:23-25 that 42 youths were mauled to death when God called 2 she bears from the woods to punish them for calling an old man bald.

Not all of the chapters of the Bible are actually included in today’s Bible that has been translated, destroyed and retranslated numerous times over the years. That’s very interesting no?

The Bible was written by people who thought the Earth was flat.

The Bible actually expects us to believe pairs of animals were put on a boat for weeks and managed not to kill one another and live for weeks? Seriously? The flood was supposed to have been 200 feet (or so) above the highest peak. Did they not get oxygen poisoning?

Many ancient historians make no refernce to Jesus whatsoever which is very odd considering what a whopping influential figure he was supposed to be. There is plenty room for doubt.

The Bible gives implicit instructions as to how to treat your slaves.

The story of Virgin birth and resurrection is present many. many times hundreds of years before Christianity. re: Mithra

And finally, in Leviticus, the Bible condemns homosexuality, if you interpret it that way, and anything that spreads intolerance you can keep.

Don’t give me any silly crap about context either. I’ve read the Bible many times and spent a big portion of my life making the mistake thining it was valid. You can have that silly book and its goofy tales..

Well written Paul as always, but on this one, I’ll pass.

Otherwise…love the blog!

Using both Biblical and Dancing with the Stars references in the same post… interesting and entertaining!

I subscribe to Biblical Archealogy Review and find it really interesting. I also just read a great book called Rumors of Another World by Phillip Yancey. He doesn’t refer to archaelogy but does write of the many things on earth that whisper of “another world, ” where God abides and rules.

I like how the author put it in Hebrews 11:1 – “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”

BTW, the story of David & Bathsheba was even more tragic soap-operatic – their first “love child” died as an infant, and Solomon came next.

It’s amazing to see how God used regular screw-ups like us to do great things.

Nope. I don’t need any proof either. I love the quote (not sure to whom credit should go…my apologies to the author) that “Faith is knowing there’s an ocean because you have seen a brook.” I don’t need to see anything to know He exists.

Oh hi! So nice to read a blog post where someone writes about evidence to prove The Bible is true! (I’ve been reading other blogs where The Bible’s record is being called false.)
