Are you telling me John Wycliffe wrote the bible?

Seriously Lek, you've got to stop resorting to ad. pop.
Call it what you want, but if 9 out of 10 people throughout history believed in God, especially accomplished scientists, I'm going to give that a lot of weight - added to the fact that I experience God. If some reputable person told you he had a stomach ache, would you believe it or you try to make him prove it?
