Why does science always upstage God?

It's sad that you are so poorly informed of the religion that you've dedicated your life to.  But sorry, facts are facts and even Biblical scholars don't disagree on most of what I posted.  If you've never read about the dead sea scrolls, then you wouldn't understand these things.  You won't ever learn anything if you just reject everything you hear and clearly you have had zero time to verify anything I posted; you just rejected it, which is exactly what I would expect from someone like you.

Here's a place to start learning:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUYRoYl

You aren't saying anything new that I haven't heard 1000 times. I have already looked into these things which is can conversationally reply to them. You're having a conversation with me that I started having 20 years ago.

What does "Biblical scholars" mean? I know Bart Ehrman agrees with you. What if I point you to Biblical scholars that disagree with what you said, would that change your mind?

The problem with hearing things and truly understanding them is a different matter.  I only offered a tiny fraction of the controversial issues with Biblical heredity.  The research is available but if you don't actually read it and learn about it, then you will just reject it.  These aren't conspiracies; they are honest, sincere work of historians.  The many biblical contradictions is a good place to start understanding but if you approach it from a position of "god explains everything" then you won't learn anything.  There are real contradictions in there that cannot be explained in ways other than human manipulation and other shortcomings that don't agree with a bible that is divinely inspired.

Biblical scholars are people who have spent their life exploring the historical roots of religious texts.  Sure, there are differing opinions on some matters, but I'm calling out issues that are pretty solidly consensus.  Just to start with, you should understand all of the political alterations that were made during the formation of the King James Version of the Bible.  They are fascinating and without question intentional modifications.  When I was a Christian, this was never spoken of so as a young person I was told the KJV was the most accurate translation of the ancient Greek texts.  Turns out this was completely false.  The KJV is largely just British monarchical propaganda.

But I won't be surprised if you reject this.  Most Christians do because it will most certainly upset your apple cart if you begin to learn of the true history of the bible.
