(8 posts)People have been pulling the bible apart for thousands of years and have failed to discredit it as a whole. Almost every battle, person and geographical location described has been confirmed, through ages worth of cross referenced resources and careful archaeological study. Even if only 50% of the Bible could be accounted for, that's enough to consider it a good source for historical data. For thousands of years people thought the events in the Iliad were nothing more than mythology. Historians know better now, after uncovering loads of physical evidence on the topic.
In ancient history Jesus had more of his life accounted for than any other person. Oddly enough, some people seem to think he didn't exist. These are usually the same people who also believe the holocaust was made up despite countless witnesses and physical evidence. Religious people are suppose to be the delusional ones who elude reality. Ironic.
