How can you believe in God, then, who says ALL His Bible is the truth?

First off, it is man who claims the Bible is the word of God; using the Bible's claim to be the word of God as proof it is the word of God is circular reasoning. Secondly, God uses parables and allegories in the rest of the Bible, so why couldn't Genesis be such? After all, there is no physical evidence backing up the Genesis account; indeed the physical evidence refutes the account in Genesis. From this we can conclude: 1) Genesis is false and should not be included in the Bible or 2) Genesis is an allegory and should not be taken literally but figuratively.

We don't have to take only the Bible's word for it.

The Bible was written by...

40 different people

living in different places(desert, palaces, small towns, large cities)

centuries apart(times of war, times of peace)

in different moods(feeling of great joy, great sorrow, moments of fear,times of insecurity)

from different continents(Africa, Europe)

in three different languages(Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic)

about controversial topics(the nature of God, moral issues, politecal alliances, religious cerimonies)

Would you expect a book like that to agree with itself at all? Of course not!

But the Bible does. Why not believe the best answer? Someon other than man had to have written this.
