Well, first I wouldn’t use the Bible like most Christians do because that would hold as much weight with a non believer as someone quoting the Q’uran would with me. I would use fact. First, what are the oldest of those writings and who was the most correct looking back with the science we now have. The Judaic portion of the Bible, most notably the first five books, are very old and they are factually correct (as far as science can tell so far when looking at the data). Also, unlike other books, the heroes within the Bible have humanly faults and require redemption also. Another thing that sold this former atheist is that it’s not based on blind faith and that the Bible is complex enough to warrant a doctorate’s degree to fully understand it. With the tons of attempts at discrediting it, none have been able to fully do so when you go back to the original languages it was written in. As for me, I can only say that one should challenge each and every religion until you are satisfied with the results. For me, after major challenging of the religions, my inner peace was fulfilled with the only truth in the universe: The Trinity via the Blood of the Christ.
Just because a book is old or complex doesn’t make it true. Where is the data that points physical evidence of anything before the time of David or even during the time of David. Where is the physical evidence of the Exodus?
From a logical mind approach, where is any extra-biblical evidence that Christ lived, of any of the miracles he performed, or of the resurrection?
Is there any physical evidence in Egypt that Moses ever existed?
If somebody tells me that I need to accept X because part of X has evidence, physical or literary, then that is only telling me to accept that part of has evidence, but the rest of X. There is complexity and physical evidence of the the Iliad and Greek mythology, but I have a problem accepting any of that as gospel.
NOTE: I believe that Moses and David existed, but in this story, I don’t.
Touching post...glad He found you.
