However, there is historical, archeological, and prophetic evidence that suggest the bible is true. This subjective evidence lends credibility to the bible, but its not definitive proof.
The evidences mentioned above has some level of objectivity, especially when compared with personal feelings and beliefs. There is tons of evidence that provides not only backing, but proof that certain things in the Bible were historical, but those same evidences show that there are flawed biblical narratives as well. None of the evidence supports any of the supernatural claims, however.
There aren't any scientific facts that tell us how everything originated, how we got here, the meaning of life, or our purpose. So for myself, the bible is the best explanation.
I 100% agree with the 1st sentence. Science doesn't reveal purpose, but so. We get the privileged of living a life that is distinctly ours where we can develop priorities and give meaning and purpose for our being. That's pretty cool.
The Bible offers an explanation for origins, but what it offers may not be accurate. After much examination, it has been found that the biblical explanations are flawed, man-inspired attempts to speak for deity that may or may not exist.
Its also relevant that God reveals himself to those who seek Him (knocks). He is revealed in spirit & truth, not physical observation, science, or tangible evidence. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit and revelation of scripture is what opens the eyes of those who earnestly seek him. Belief is ultimately a choice, and we are called by faith for good reasons.. jmo
Thank you for being honest Dan. I respect your right to the OPINION you expressed above. I just don't believe that that opinion is correct and is based in fact. When I post, I'm not necessarily asking for a person to prove or disprove deity, instead, I'm asking for them to support THEIR OPINIONS about what they assert about deity with facts from reality.
