And what empirical evidence...

I remember when I was still young, as a catholic I go to church & see the priest reading the bible, I also had chances of visiting other churches of another religion and their teachings are also based on the the bible. And at an early age I become curious & politely ask one preacher, I ask him how sure he is that what is written on the bible is true considering the fact that many religions are using this book as a the basis for their teachings. I guess what I meant that time is that how accurate is it? And the preachers reply was that the bible was written by many people on different times and that when one writer made a mistake an angel from heaven comes down to earth to correct the writers mistake. Well I did not ask another question since his reply to me raise more questions in my mind.

If the bible was writen by many people I think there must be more mistakes to make, and sending an angel from heaven to correct the mistakes? hmmmmmm???? I think he should not be a preacher, he should be a comic writer instead.

Anyway my point is I am not saying that everything writen on the bible is wrong, for sure there are mistakes, but I keep an open mind, if any one comes and prove to me the this part is correct then it is very welcome. As an example, the part that says 'let there be light', I think this must be the big bang, the begining of time and space and this is acceptable to me. But adam & eve being the first humans??? prove it.....silicon_57
