IF there was no "physical" evidence of the bible, would you still believe it?

Yes the testimony of the Spirit is more powerful than any physical evidence anyway. When He opens your eyes you see the works of God not only in you but everywhere you look His Name is stamped.\n\n Isaiah 6:3\nAnd one cried to another and said:“ Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!”

The entire bible?  No.  In fact, there is proof that parts of the bible are inaccurate (like Genesis), and there is proof that parts of the bible really happened (we know many hisotrical leaders and occurances actually happened).\n\n- We've found Herod's palace, and it implies he was as carefree as the bible portrays him as.  One point for bible\n\n- We've found egyptian records that range from acheivements to embarassments.  They were quite meticulous at their historical records...yet no mention of Moses, losing their slaves, losing their first borns, plagues, etc.  One point against.\n\n- We've found evidence of a mass flood, one point for\n\n- It would be impossible for all species alive today to fit on the boat, not to mention carry enough food, deal with waste, etc.  One point against.\n\nSo you see, the bible is much like Greek or Egyptian mythology.  It is what was thought to have been known at the time...some of it was correct, some based on false rumor.

The media, or some of it anyway.  There are sources in the media that I would believe more than others and not doubt it.  The bible I don't believe.

I agree.  quoting the bible or something is not valid as evidence for people who dont believe.  I only quote it when asked about it.\n\nAgree with you.\n\nHow about the question about noah's ark?  That was answered with all science, perfectly by a Christian. This is how we should answer non believers, like "ILoveJesus" lady did.\n\nhttp://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhDhtQPisFZHWxrMoTU6HW7AFQx.?qid=20061123154534AAR0ZO2\n\nthat was well done!  check it out!\n\ndavid

I disbelieve on the grounds of lack of evidence so short of proof being forthcoming I couldn't say I believed God existed. Convictions or subjective opinions don't come into it-it's purely down to a lack of valid evidence.

None actually, but having no proof on the other side, by grace of the Occam´s razor I would choose the simplest hypothesis: no god.

O.K. admiralbob! I'm glad your not in charge of everything. Everyone wants to prove how things work, but they can't answer the question as to who made it all happen.....Anyway I've got broadband but the download is taking a minute so based off of others speculation and the website that I observed, I would say SURE THING. God is intelligent so why wouldn't he use science he created it? But yeah! They should use it to teach if they have found that proof! It would really back up the bible too.

Nothing from the bible has been proven except obvious things (the sun rose that morning lol). There's much better explanations for nature and the workings of the universe than the bible has ever given. EVIDENCE and FACTS point towards things VERY different than those written in the bible. It's vastly outdated and filled with lies and things we should long have forgotten.

I believe in God just not the bible, how dare anyone claim to know what God thinks, I have more respect for God, there are hundreds of archaeological finds proving that the bible that exists was put into place by church hierarchy that had ulterior motives for including and not including what THEY wanted in the bible, only someone who had ALL the original texts and could read them in the original language that they were written in would have a good understanding of what the ancient religious leaders had in mind, and who's to say they were God inspired, insane asylums are full of people who hear God

Not in the least.\n\nThe bible is a book of fiction just like any other novel, so it would not make the tiniest difference to me.

#1   I really hope you didn't just say that the bible is historical evidence (maybe it was just misread on my part) \nweather or not jesus was here on this planet is not the real question. there very well could have been a man fitting his description that lived on this planet. The real question is weather or not he is a divine being or not. If there was evidence of his exsistance your best shot would be through roman literature from jesus's contemporary period. not afterward, that would be tainted.

If you don't believe in Life after Death then I would pick up the Bible. Especially if you are an atheist, how do you know what you don't believe if you haven't done your homework.

Check the BIBLE, it might be in there.

There can never be proof of a spiritual reality in a physical world.\n\nOnly idiots will quote the Bible or Quran as proof ... because there is no proof that they are really from a supreme being.  Proof can only come from an established truth. No scripture of any religion can be proof.\n\nSome foolish people claim that all you need is faith. They overlook Jesus' most important teachings. He spoke of a foolish man building his house on sand (blind faith) and the wise building it upon a solid rock (factual information). He was showing that faith without a solid ground is just another name for stupidity.\n\nPersonally, I feel that in a great void prior to the world, there was a "Dynamic Energy" and through the big bang part of that energy was converted to mass (E=MC^2). This resulted in the many worlds and galaxies being formed. It is all very scientific.\n\nIt is important to realize that everything and everyone around us, including ourselves is part of that "Dynamic Energy"... not from it, but part of it.\n\nNow substitute the phrase "Supreme Being" for "Dynamic Energy" and you will realize that everything around us including our enemies is all part of GOD ... not from him, but PART OF HIM.\n\nThe world that we pollute is part of Him, our enemies we are shooting at is part of Him. The table and that chair we touch is part of Him.\n\nIf every one could believe this way, there would be no wars, no poor, no pollution because we would realize that we were doing it to God himself or herself.\n\nThat may be why many religions say we are all GODS or divine, part of God or in his image.  \n\nI think they are all very right on this aspect.

Depends on the person...some people don't believe in the bible at all so why would they pay attention to it

Yes. In fact I so desperately want to believe, it's just that there are so many historical, achaelogocal, anthropological and biological evidences to the contrary. \nI'd love to believe in a loving creator and be able to let go knowing that he's in control; in life after this one, and really be sure that all this is not just random chance. But can it be proven?\nI have Christian friends and they believe the Bible unquestioningly. But my intellect just can't get past the myth of creation, to begin with. It's just not credible. If you can give solid proof, I'd convert in a heartbeat.

what real proof do we have of anything? Really, how do we know for sure about the bible or anything else without actually seeing it for ourselves? That's what faith is for in my opinion.
