The Bible

RE: The Bible

There are a handful of things in the Bible that have some basic historical legitimacy to them: Names of cities. Certain roman persons. etc. but for the most part the Bible has very little historical accuracy and rather, has been proven to be painfully inaccurate time and time again.

For example: The Hebrew slaves in Egypt. The worldwide flood. King Solomon. King David. Even the existence of Christ is mostly circumstantial. Plus, it's hard to prove anything to be a prophecy, not only because they are so prone to interpretation, but because it's often difficult to prove that the "prophecy" itself wasn't written a couple hundred years after the fact.
