Good idea! Has anyone done so, yet? If not, I will shortly. Some of the science revealed in the Bible is thousands of years in advance of man's understanding and/or discovery. It pretty much confirms that it wasn't the imagination of men.

And up is down and black is white. A literal interpretation of the Bible contradicts both science and common sense.

A literal interpretation of what you just said contradicts both science and common sense, as well! "Up is down and black is white"? Do you see how we need to read with cognition and discernment, having enough reason to differentiate between what is literal and what is not?

We understand that the book contains supernatural explanations written by a primitive people who did not have a clue about the natural world around them.

Your misunderstandings are understandable, but only by a very few. Mankind's intelligence has dwindled over the centuries, so that there's little left. The world is now full of clueless people.

When you get injured you don't get someone to take evil spirits out of your body, you get a banaid or a doctor to diagnose you.

Yeah, you do that if you're clueless!

When your car breaks down you don't get someone to put a magic spell on it to make it run again, you take it to the mechanic.

Once again, not the brightest of moves, that's for sure!

That's not completely fair. Christians follow the teachings of Christ (who mentioned the 10 Commandments and added his own) and believe his words override earlier instructions (eating what you want, working on Sunday, women working as pastors - Christ had many women working for him, etc.).

There's a whole lot of deception. though, in what people believe...it's not too much based on what Jesus taught.

Why should they? No one claims that life came from nothing.

Then they are pretty stupid because it's just as stupid to say that life has always existed. The only intelligent answer is "duh,,,I don't know".

There is empirical evidence for the big bang.

Uh, yeah, and I own the moon. Want to buy a piece?

Do you even know what empirical means?

It's been said, "History is written by the victors." What we know of past societies is completely at the mercy of biased record keeping and the impermanence of certain artifacts. We don't know half of what's happened in the past, and no doubt the half we know is far from what actually occurred.

Which is exactly the way it is today. Science is at the mercy of the scientists. When scientists fail, science is compromised.
