[quote]Nothing in the bible can be interpreted as fact, observed or tested...[/quote]Again and again archaeological discoveries have verified the accuracy of the historical and cultural references in the Bible. The more they dig, the more it confirms the Bible. “It is important to note that Near Eastern archaeology has demonstrated the historical and geographical reliability of the Bible in many important areas" (E.M. Blaiklock, The New International Dictionary of Biblical Archaeology). The Bible was written by people who witnessed the events it describes; many were persecuted or martyred but never changed their story. Would you die for something you knew was untrue? “It is no moderate approbation of Scripture that it has been sealed by the blood of so many witnesses, especially when we reflect that they died to render testimony to the faith …with a firm and constant, yet sober, zeal toward God” (John Calvin, [i]Institutes of the Christian Religion[/i]). There are plenty of references in non-biblical sources to the events described in the Bible. The Jewish historian Josephus, born in 37 AD, “provide(s) indispensable background material for the student of…New Testament history. In them, we meet many figures well known to us from the New Testament. Some of his writings provide direct commentary on New Testament references.” (J.D. Douglas, ed., The New Bible Dictionary). There are over 300 specific prophecies in the Old Testament that are fulfilled in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. “The very dimension of the sheer fulfillment of prophecy of the Old Testament Scriptures should be enough to convince anyone that we are dealing with a supernatural piece of literature….God has himself planted within the scriptures an internal consistency that bears witness that this is his Word” (R.C. Sproul, Now That’s a Good Question). [quote]...much of your post is rambling, so I wont address all of it.[/quote]Do you have any comment about Richard Dawkins? [quote]...your argument is that because we've been actively observing evolution for LESS than .0001% of of the time, life has been around and evolving, and we haven't observed a massive change in species.[/quote]The primary flaw in the story of macro-evolution is that all plants and animals are packed with information—the complicated instructions that coordinate the many processes enabling the body and brain to function... The greatest weakness of the theory of evolution is that science has not discovered a process that can create all the necessary information, which can be likened to the software that directs a computer.
