who do you believe made the Ten Commandments if ti wasn't God because these laws really tackled the how the human mind acts.

but did people back then have the knowledge to truly understand those things. And Drace do u believe in god.

God is accepted as an answer for those who don't have an answer; we thought it was "God watering the plants" when it rained until we learned what really makes rain. When there are legitimate answers out there, you have the option to learn it for yourself, or continue down the road that God is the reason.

The line also has to end somewhere. We cannot just accept God as the answer for everything, or else we won't learn anything and get anywhere with our Homosapien legacy. For things we don't know, we have to get out there and learn why, how, when, where, yadda yadda.

For the same reason Mickey Mouse isn't.
It's a fictional character.

Please explain also and it will try my best to disprove you with the bible

i know why god isn't accepted by everyone theres no blurry photos or bad graphics footage of him inn the woods or at loch ness so theres no proof >.>

Because god makes no sense. He's just there my a**.

There are reasons, there are things, that make the universe go round. God doesn't make the rain fall, gravity does.

Let's take this one step at a time shall we? There's no need to argue why the bible is or is not valid, not yet at least. I'm interested in listening to the responses.

The Ancient Egyptian calendar is a little different from ours today. There were ten days in a week, three weeks in a month, four months in a season, three seasons in a year, and five holy days. That adds up to a 365-day year. The Egyptians were the first people to come up with the 365-day year.

Egyptians clocks were much different from ours as well. There were two types of clocks in Ancient Egyptâ"a water clock and a sundial.

Great answer Noname, just great.

well i personally believe in "God", but not in a sky-wizard way. I have a problem with people who act like "God" is always the answer to all their problems they create, instead of making the best of their lives by getting an education, or working hard , or etc. And the bible is the greatest work of fiction on the planet. The author(s) must have been stoned, and listening to Mastodon.

Maybe they didn't mean 'stoned' to death in the Bible? Or perhaps it was a considerably nicer fate than what people get now?

Anyway, the circular logic here is giving me a headache.

Also, times the Bible has been right:

Sometimes it rains a lot. Sometimes this makes rainbows appear.
If you hang on a wooden cross for three days, you'll die.
Whales are big.
Jerusalem was taken in one day....That's gotta be worth something?

* The Bible is a hodepodge collection of oral history, poetry, legend, myth, genealogy, prophesy and visions, some of which date back to nomadic tribes in the Middle East. The problem with oral histories is that they change over time, and there is no way to verify what the original version of any of the accounts in the work might have looked like.

* The oral histories that were eventually included in the Bible were written down by different groups of people over centuries, and copied by hand numerous times, introducing changes and inaccuracies in the process as with any text that is copied.

* Numerous versions of chapters that have been included in the Bible by various groups (Jews, Gnostics and Christians) exist, and arbitrary decisions have been made as to which ones to include in what is accepted as the modern Christian version of the Bible. Chapters that have at one time or another been included and then removed from the Bible are called the Apocrypha. Some of these, most notably what are believed to be Gnostic texts, differ radically from the currently accepted version of the Bible.

* Both the Old Testament and the New have numerous internal contradictions that render any attempt to deem words of the Bible literally true impossible. For example, there are two different accounts of creation in the Old Testament and major contradictions among accounts of the life of Jesus in the New Testament.

* Linguistic and textual analysis of the Bible has demonstrated that some chapters have elisions or additions made by different authors, making a determination of the 'original' or 'true' version of the Bible problematic.

* There is ample evidence that some elisions and additions to some chapters were made for political reasons, or to express a religious viewpoint that differed from that held by the original author of the chapter.

* Historical sources show that the New Testament is factually inaccurate on matters including the reign of Herod, the Roman census, and many archeological statements.

* Pi is not, in fact, three.

Is this a serious topic becuz everybody knows that I am the answer on every question!

Somebody present me with evidence that the Bible is perfect and infallible and then I'll laugh at- I mean, take a look at it. Until you can completely prove the Bible or at least relevant parts then I don't think I shall take anything from the Bible as being correct.
