Bible, believe it or not!

The choice is to believe it or not. The Bible is historically accurate, inspiring and challenging. There is no reason not to believe!

Does the bible say there was a global flood? Then it is wrong.

@cootsfortruth You may be concerned with the texts, I am not. My background is the sciences, principally biology, but I do dabble in geology as there is quite the crossover from the chemistry and physics point of view. And it's from that vantage I can quite clearly say that the Bible is not a literal text. For example, the Noachian Flood simply did not happen as described.

The Quran is not God's Word.

Actually I have read two books about geology. One was written by an evolutionist. The other by a geolostist and a thealogian.

I am glad we are sticking to the Bible theme. What other holy books are you talking about. The quran has many mistakes and other religions are for the most part spread by mouth. Who told you the Bible is for inspiration and metaphor? The Bible is an historcial book. The enemies of God have not found one error in the Bible historically or scientically. The most important history is that Jesus was a prophet, healer, was killed by the Romans, buried and raised from the dead.

@cootsfortruth ''A God hater is someone who does not accept God's word.''

So if I accept the Quran I am not a god hater ??

'' I have studied science '' Watching a Kent Hovind video is not science. Have you read a Geology book?

[cootsfortruth]

A God hater is someone who does not accept God's word. I have studied science and the fossil record for many years, and seen the serious problems equating science and evolution. When scientists twist (neutral) evidence to present a theory that is not true...because it is expedient, or they will be fired, I question their character. I am sure you know this, but many geologists do not agree with the theory of evolution. There are many books out supporting creation. Are you afraid of the truth?

[gregrutz]

@cootsfortruth ''God haters'' I never said anything about God. I was talking about Geology, something you won't look at, just like you would look at the fossil record. Afraid of the TRUTH?

@SpencerBenedict2nd Pre flood? What Flood? There is no evidence for a global flood, none.

[cootsfortruth]

@gregrutz

There is a lot of evidence for the global flood, but it makes not difference to God haters.You are not reading the same books I am. You might read "The Genesis Flood" by Whitcomb and Morris, written by a geologist and theologian. Nothing I say will change your mind. So, I will leave with this: If the Bible is true, you have my profound sympathy. If the Bible is not true, both of us have no purpose in life but to die and become ferttilizer for a "somehow" remarkably "designed" world.

@cootsfortruth You are mistaking literal for truth. There may be deity of some kind, I grant you that much. But, most "holy books" are far from literal. They are meant more as inspiration and metaphor than as history or a science text. Kindly do not mistake one for the other. And the book of Genesis, as we've so amply demonstrated, is not a literal text. Take that for what you will. I do find it funny that I've got a "rep". That made me laugh. I'm just doing my part to further critical thinking.
