Perhaps to some believing that the Bible is true is ONLY a matter of faith.

But then why...

1. Do Biblical Archeologists rely on the Bible as a locater for ancient sites?
2. Did Armand Hammer discover oil in the middle east right where the Bible said it would be.
3. The streams in the oceans were written about way before ancient mariners discovered the ocean currents.
4. The geneologies can be traced to real people.
5. The ancient cities that Paul traveled to in the New Testament were said to not exist. ALL have been unearthed.

Just a few reasons off the top of my head.

Archaeology is supported in Hindu literature too.

I won’t go into the fact that some Biblical geneologies contradict each other.

“If” the Bible is true, there are too many implications for everyone that they’d rather put their heads in the sand then face up to the changes they’d need to make to “get right”.

What would be worse, believing in the Biblical truth and then, after you die, well, NOT finding out that it wasn’t?
Or denying that it’s true then finding out that it is?

What are you gonna miss out on? Being a slave to your hedonism? Having to exhibit some self control? You still have your free will.

And, in case you don’t think you could ever live up to the perfection that God demands... He provided a solution to that too.

OR the verses that speak of the earth being a globe hanging in nothingness..
written at a time when man couldn't possibly have known that.. when a flat earth seemed reasonable and 'scientific'.. and quite logical..

Small potatoes.

Where is the evidence for a global flood ca. 4,350 years ago?
