So you're talking about whats not in the bible not whats in it? Its what IS in it that I have problems with. It claims God but there is no evidence of God. And there's a lot of evil in the bible.
I am talking about what critics of the Bible who know very little about it say it says.
Quote:Since you are criticising the Bible where do you get your facts from in doing so?
You will notice that I have said in the past that I don't think that science actually does conflict with the Bible. I am trying to demonstrate this but I can't even get any of you guys to tell me what a picture of some sculls are, you are so confident in your facts!

If you are criticizing the Bible the burden of proof is on you. You can dismiss the Bible with or without evidence, obviously you know this, but if you publicly criticize it the burden is upon you. You fail in this.
