Why do we see tonnes of intellectuals (scientists, philosophers, doctors) who are all perfectly sane fall for ideas like birth without sex, paradise, angels, demons etc..... What are you all's view on this? Thank you
Probably because it's your opinion and nothing more than these ideas aren't sane in the first place. You aren't some know it all master of the universe who has all the answers. They read the Bible, they believe it. You probably haven't even read it

Exactly we're not some master of the universe, we - us humans are not. And reading the bible is not evidence of God. We'd have to know what he was thinking and somehow know that it's the word of God. How can you know even remotely that God exists? You'd have to know the mind of God, and as you say we are not some master of the universe.
You can't know the bullshit you believe in. So speak for yourself.
Untill there's actually evidence why don't you stop claiming to know shit that you cannot?
I don't consider the bible evidence for God for the same reason I don't consider the FSM gospel evidence for the FSM. And I'm not going to give your God special treatment.
Evidence... please!

I haven't read the Bhagavad Gita, still it does not stop me from not believing in Brahma or Durga. I fail to se what makes the bible any more special than any other scripture. And before you start, yes I have read the bible. And the Quran.

the quran was written like 400 years after the events supposedly happened...Does that sound like it would be accurate? Not to mention it's filled with a bunch of crap (there will be 250, 000 prophets, etc)

We don't KNOW if God exists unless he shows himself to us, just like you don't KNOW God doesn't exist. You only believe so just like most christians "believe".
And the bible is "evidence". There is evidence for Jesus' miracles, which can only then be explained by God. Which means there is evidence for God. You might argue it's not very strong evidence but it is evidence none the less

What is evidence? The bible saying stuff? Can you give me a non-circular argument please?
What evidence? I Know of none.
I can't know he doesn't exist, you can't know he does. There is the matter of probability however.
Evidence please.

Now the Bible...that is something that was written after the events happened. The first gospel about 40 years after the death of Jesus, and the others after that at varying intervals. Not to mention, the Old Testament was written years after the stories they recount.
