Evidence of WHAT FFS?
I don't consider myself to be fundamentalist. You can think what you like. It doesn't concern me at all. I believe the Bible to be true, if that makes me a fundamentalist in your eyes. I also think evolution holds true. I think Genesis one is allegorical. I think Jesus lived and is the son of God. So hang me.
Hang you? Something I never would do. Just something religious people do to those who don't believe in what they do.
What I mean that at the time the bible was written didn't they have any special knowledge of what was going on around them. Why the sun was rising, why a storm accured, why we die, what is beyond the sky, and so on.
That's why the explained all things with religion. That's why the wrote the bible because that's how they think things were. They didn't write it so people 2000 years later should interputate it in a certain way. The didn't write in any special metaphores or in a way so people needed to really interputate and think to understand it what they meant, or in a way so there where no clear message. They wrote what they meant and wanted to share their view, and share the stories they heared.
I think it's highly irrational to take the bible as something that is true, as any written text from long time ago. Specially when it comes hitorical texts or like this religious texts. It's not locial to read something and take it as truth you have to compare it with something else or think if it's likely what is written.

In other words you can't give any example?
- Science is not trying to create an answer like religion, it tries to find an answer.
