Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.

Then you are just plain unobservant. The very existence of Homer is questioned by scholars. And if he existed, it is certain that The Iliad and the Odyssey were oral tradition long before they were ever written down. http://www.ancientgreece.com/s/People/Homer/

Plato certainly existed. He is attested to by a variety of contemporary sources. His style is consistent and we can be pretty sure that the same man wrote his histories. But we don't have everything he wrote and we aren't sure that all of what is attributed to him was written by him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato

We don't have contemporary sources for Herodotus, but he does write in the first person and much of what he observes can be verified. His writings are not taken as gospel proof of what he says though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herodotus

Maybe i was unclear, when I made this statement..
Quote:It always seems that as it relates to the Bible, the guy who's name is on a particular book, never actually wrote it. why is this? This is never said about Plato, or Herodotus... strange

It was in reference to the members of this forum. If I were to post the writing of Plato here, no one would question if he existed, but according to Minimalist for example, the apostle Paul never existed, despite there being just as much evidence if not more, for Paul as there is Plato.

Yeah...and King Arthur was educated by Merlin and Luke Skywalker by Yoda.

All four have much in common. They are made up bullshit.
