Scientists are challenged all the time. What do you think a change in their scientific theory is? Have you forgotten that the only fact in a science theory is that it is a theory? The object of the theory isn't a fact. If it were, the theory wouldn't be a theory.

The only reason you understand that you know facts rather than having faith in them, is because I have mentioned it over and over in this forum.

Cool

You have said a lot of nonsense on this forum. Keep them coming.

If all religious blokes are like you, religions will disappear in 2-3 generations.

LOL!

Quote from: https://pastorrick.com/the-bible-always-survives-and-always-will/

The Bible is the most despised, derided, denied, disputed, dissected, and debated book in all of history. This Bible has been under attack for centuries, for everything you can imagine.

Yet the Bible is still the most read, most published, and most translated book in the world. And, most importantly, its still changing the lives of those who apply what it teaches.

...

Voltaire, the famous French philosopher, was a brilliant atheist. He wrote a number of tracts deriding the Bible. He once made a very bold statement: One hundred years from today the Bible will be a forgotten book.

Today, everyone has forgotten that quote not the Bible! After Voltaire died, for nearly 100 years, his homestead was used as the book depository for the French Bible Society. They sold Bibles out of his house! Its now a museum. People have forgotten Voltaire. Nobody forgets the Bible.

Illiad and Odyssey are still around. Your point is?

I KNEW you would come around to acknowledging religion sooner or later.

Cool

I really don't know what your point is. The Bible will always be the ancient work of literature that it is.

There will always be book fan clubs reading it and salivating at some of the gruesome parts.

What I am saying is that in 2-3 generations more people will recognize it to be weird, ancient mythology, not much else.

If you read books from Voltaire's time, you will realize how much weight the Bible had in his time vs today.

The impact the Bible once had on society has been diminished as it continues to become irrelevant.
