When it comes to Religion, I have a hard time believing in what it says.
Genesis 1:1 - "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"
Genesis 1:3 - "And God said "Let there be light", and there was light."
The problem I have is "Who was there to witness this and write it down?".
Some will say "It is the word of God." If I say God talks to me, I end up
in a loony bin somewhere, but for those 000's of years ago, it is OK?
And if the Earth IS the age that the bible works it out to be, no more than
6000 years old, how do yo account for the fossils that have been carbon dated
to at least millions of years old? Last I heard, carbon dating was accourate
to within +/- 1000 years. Dinosaur bones dated to over 50 million years old
fall way out of the 6000 years that the bible would have us believe. Some
will try to tell you that carbon dating is not 100% accurate. My reply to them
is "And the word of mouth, spoken over years, told and retold down the
generations is 100% accurate?" What about "Chinese Whispers"?
The bible, to me anyway, is a fictional tale, created by men in power for one
reason and one reason ONLY - TO CONTROL THE MASSES.
When kings went to war alongside their armies back in the day, who did they
leave in charge? The priests, Why? Because the priests would put the "fear
of God" into the masses to keep them under control. And even when the king WAS
there, the priests still did the same thing.
But yes, I do like to debate religion.
