^^^ The location in space of planet Earth doesn't have anything to do with people. It has to do with the way God set up cause and effect, and the way He maintains the physics of it all.

Cool

What does that have to do with bill gates inveting an operating system? Or einstein? Again, even the religious inventors and geniuses didnt need the bible to do what they did. Does the bible teach the scientific method? Does it teach a better method? Does it teach anything related to engineering, physics, math?

Cause and effect in everything!

This universe is on the way to being destroyed. Each person gets his proof of it when he dies. The purpose of the Bible is to save souls for the new universe... rather than leave them with this universe and its destruction.

Why would anybody need the Bible for scientific stuff? That's not its purpose?

Cool

The Bible is nothing more than a brainwashing fairy tale that had more power in earlier times when life was much more simple and mysteries remained.

If it in inspires and guides you through life, more power to you.

What proof do you have that it is a fairy tale? None. On the other hand, I can provide you with lots of evidence that it is not. See my original reply.

How about the Bible verses that talk about unicorns, witches, wizards, and magic?



Hi Smiley
A. Unicorns: please get a 1600's English dictionary and look the word up, it means a single-horned animal, and gives specific reference to a rhinoceros.
B. As to the spiritual, you're assuming that the spiritual doesn't exist, I assume you're a naturalist/materialist, which does not lend itself to the evidence, for example, please see:

-Michael Egnor: The Evidence Against Materialism
Neurosurgeon discusses how materialism is not supported by science, but rather hinders science.

On miracles, here's some scholarly approaches:
-Lee Strobel: The Case for Miracles
Also the man who does "The Case For Christ"

-2 Volume scholarly work: "Miracles: The Credibility Of The New Testament Accounts" by Craig Keener.

The Bible disagrees with that assumption, and so does human experience and evidence.

Thank you.

I have no interest in dissecting your delusion.  Stay ignorant if you makes you feel better.  Just keep your delusion at home.

Why are Gods always reflecting the culture in which they were created? The Bible is not only a fairy tale, but it is a fairy tale for adults only.  A manual for a Bronze Age dweller on how to live his life. The treatment of other human beings in it is outside of the moral norms of most cultures today.

Who wrote the Bible?

I am only replying to you as a courtesy to another human being who is a victim of this Bronze Age cult.  You need help.  I am not a psychiatrist, I cannot help you.
