Trouble is that the bible was written my many individuals, some of the information relates to historical facts, some to mythology and some to the delusions of the authors. Unfortunately others have claimed that all the writings are the the inspired word of god, without any explanation of how they came to that conclusion.
Some interesting facts which may help pull the whole discussion into perspective are:-
1) Monotheism has only existed for around 3,800 years, while the human race (homo sapiens) can be proven to have existed for 193,000 years and may have existed for around 300,000 years.
2) Human kind has always had an inquiring nature, seeking to find out the why's, where's and how's. Unfortunately when the answers were not readily available the tenancy has been to invent a conclusion that fitted the known facts at that time.
3) As more information from scientific study became available, some, especially those in power, refuted the new information as it did not fit with their fiction ideas, derived at a time when the facts were not known or properly understood.
Something to consider, if there is a god, why did he wait so long to reveal himself to the human race?
Could the universe have just happened by accident, or was there a divine force that created the energy that caused the big bang, that we believe started it all, 13.8 billion years ago?
Could that divine force be a god? If so is that god in any way related to the god described in the bible?
