Yet there could be something that science hasn't discovered yet. At one time all these older beliefs were the science, crude, but this was how things were explained. Then the Roman church came in a made the bible the truth, and all science antichrist if not within the bounds of it...Then science started to grow again with people such as Copernicus, Newton, Galileo....Einstein...etc.. One thought built on the other. Science is still growing and it could be that there is a blending of spirituality or something much much bigger. Science just has not found out everything yet. To place the bible as the authority on all things is just not looking at all the possibilities.

The Bible explain's everything. The Bible itself is the truth. The bible is a mass biblyography of Jesus's life. There is no other book in History that can explain event for even the bible does. How it has happen. The Bible is a Book about how jesus was viewed through the eye's of thousand's and the miracles that he performed. God is the way.

No it isn't. OT doesn't talk about Jesus' life.

Okay, so rather than help Science, and learn ourselves, we'll just believe in a fairy-tale book until someone else proves other-wise?

You have never read the bible, have you?

NOTHING in the bible makes it true. although a disturbingly large number of things make it UNTRUE.

That's just being ignorant. The Bible and Science can go hand in hand.

Give me some examples...

There are certainly areas where science does not cover and there are certainly areas that religion does not cover.

Science used to be considered the way to discover gods plan. Science and god are reconcilable.

I'll pass on the supernatural theories...
The bible is useful for being studied as literature, that's about it.

Mm. I love our forum. *Munches on popcorn. Kicks back and watches the ensuing chaos.*

Only the Gospels are depictions of Jesus' life. The rest of the Bible doesn't cover Jesus Christ, and the ENTIRE Old Testament doesn't even MENTION Jesus Christ.

You don't know what the f*ck you're talkn about, do you ?

Sorry to upset your huge ego but it is you do not know what ....... you are talking about. The Old Testament is filled with parallels and writings about Jesus and His Kingdom, His birth, crucifixion, resurrection etc. Get to know the Bible before you speak about it again. You only embarrass yourself.

An alternative way of looking at the truthfulness of the Bible is that the authority of the Bible rests upon the fact that century after century, generation after generation, people have found wisdom and inspiration upon its pages.

A major basis for it's sustenance is imposed familial tradition. If parents taught their children Santa was real; a proportion of people would continue to believe so despite the lack of evidence, (and a proportion of people would come to independent conclusions) and those who continued to believe would likely teach their children.

Very true...though my Godfather is atheist and did not teach his children religion, they still complain about not being home for Christmas. 😂

I am aware that the Old Testament mentions a future "savior"...that is who the Jews expected.

But it's "parallels" and "hints" are NOT valid references to Jesus Christ, and certainly are NOT a biography of Jesus' life !

A lot of those parallels can be alluded to figures such as Buddha, while others can be attributed to figures such as Hitler.

The Old Testament does not mention Jesus. It mentions a predicted redeemer, but it makes no clear mention of Jesus. You don't even know your own Bible 😆

Well you have just showed us again, that you do not know or understand the scriptures. You read with your sinful mind and therefor cannot understand. You will not be able to see the parallels either,for you do not have the knowledge of God's word. To you the Bible is a story book because you have allowed Satan to corrupt your mind and spirit and you do not even know it and neither will you want to believe it. You do not have God's spirit in you and therefor are incapable of reading His Word with understanding.

Because one has the intellectual capacity to distinguish between the allegorical and the literal, they "read with a sinful mind."

You are mistaking intellectual capacity with being misled by Satan's lies.

No I'm quite certain I got it right the first time. Hold on I'll check. Yip. Statement stands.
