CHISTIANS PLEASE EXPLAIN

[Carnavon]

It is interesting that “scientists” have to “update/review” their theories every few in view of new discoveries, yet the Bible has stood the test of time for more than 2000 years, despite some serious opposition.

I think it's interesting how there are more than 40,000 different sects which interpret the Bible in very different ways and how interpretation is necessary because if read literally, it contradicts reality famously right from the beginning.

Science updates and changes with new discoveries because science is honest about what it knows and what it does not know. If science claimed to have all the answers (and killed or silenced those who disagreed), it would remain static for thousands of years, too.

I agree, there are a great number of different interpretations, although my experience is that many seem to approach the Bible from a preferred position, rather than doing proper exegesis. It seems that topical preaching is often the typical sermon, rather than exegesis. I know in South Africa (where I live) apartheid was defended from the Bible - in clear contradiction of Scripture itself.
It may be useful to study the origin of modern science. You will be surprised.

Killing people because of their beliefs - I know that they were not willing to recant. Thus they were dying for what they believed in. Would you?

Truthful accounts of real people is usually confirmed by sources other than the author - especially if the author claims it as fact and such is the case with the Bible.

Fictional accounts of fictional people are usually taken on faith by people who want to think it's not fiction.

If the Bible had any correlation to reality, faith would not be important.

You are not stating fact my friend. Fiction does not get reported in history by historians of impeccable credentials.

You have faith that nothing exploded into something, the big bang happened and that your great-great-great grandfather was an ape?
