Why do Christians trust the Bible?

[vorlon13]

Any observatory in the world (properly equipped) can take a spectra of a distant galaxy and confirm the universe is expanding. With just a little more effort, many spectra of many galaxies can be taken and it will become evident that on average, the dimmer the galaxy is the faster it is moving away from us. And every observatory will see and measure the SAME THING.


Then we note there are 40,000 (really!!!!) denominations of Christianity. Is it because God speaks with 40,000 voices and each has been heard and duly noted, or is it more likely that at least 40,000 asswipes are fucking with everybody else ???
