I would encourage or challenge any nay- or maybe-sayers to read through the Bible and attempt to prove it wrong (C.S Lewis-style) by anything and everything at your disposal-archeology, secular history, philosophy, the physical constants of the universe, what it says about human nature-with only one requirement, honesty.

Until you inform yourself of it's self interpretive nature, you are ill served to offer any opinions on its substance.

What you [/i]feel[i] or [/i]think[i] or [/i]desire[i] is NOT the standard for ultimate truth. Most of what I've skimmed over here shows less a lot less knowledge and careful thought than I would have expected from a bunch of gun looneys and hand loaders. smile
