LETS START DEBATING!!!

If the Bible is just a book, it has the same credibility as any other book. What gives more credibility to a science book than the Bible? If they were both, technically, written by men, they should have the same base credibility stat, so to speak.

Furthermore, the Bible itself hasn't been changed, per se. Different versions/translations have spawned, some of which are not accurate or have been edited. A perfect example is the Catholic Bible, in which the word Trinity is added to a verse (because it is nowhere found in the original). If you actually took the time to read it, you'd find that many churches are in the wrong. A good example is the concept of heaven and hell, which the Bible disproves and it actually enforces the doctrine of a resurrection when Jesus Christ returns.

As for Eve coming from Adam's rib, it's a matter of personal beliefs. Remember, though, 100 years ago nobody could even imagine the destructive power of an atomic bomb, yet here it is today threatening all life on the planet. I suppose it takes a little faith, if you want to call it something.

To go back to topic, DNA is a perfect example of design behind nature. Evolution claims that genetic mutations (or changes in DNA structure) are random. They happen at some point, apparently triggered by the environment to increase a certain species' rate of survival. Then, if Evolution were true, why are monkeys still here? Wouldn't we be the pinnacle of their evolutionary chain? If we are the evolved versions of them, we are the survivors.

I do not mean to offend anyone, by the way.

The Bible is older and more known about silly.

The bible was probibly a lot more powerful and influencial in those times. If it was released today, I think people would find it rediculous, sexist, racist and stupid. Just like if they came out with Cigarettes today, people would just think they are stupid and they would never be sold because of the health risks.

However, when something becomes so popular, it isn't easy to get rid of. Especialy when so many Christians use it as a source of faith. I don't have the best opinion on this but I know what I know.

This is just stupid. Read up on how evolution works. I thought you where for evolution and against the Bible.
Whos side are you on?
