Is there anything "good" which has benefited mankind which can be attributed to the writings of the bible, quran, etc, to basically prove its divinity.
Something which logic, intelligence or just plain common sense alone could not have intentionally or accidentally stumbled onto?
EG:
Any mind blowing moral or ethical teachings which we are now only realising their social profoundness?
Did Jesus ever mutter to one of his disciples: let me tell you a secret, "e=mc2"
or maybe God mentioned the double helix somewhere in the old testament and we missed it?
No reference of a meteor from 75 million years ago doing a bit of damage to Gods property?
My point is: If all of this "could have" been written by man, why don't we just accept it as "fiction" like we do with other books, novels.
Instead, for most, the absurd version of events seems the most likely! Why?
The Ancient greeks had lots of stories, myths, parables, eg: The Minotaur, etc, but no-one believes that was actual.
I'll never get it ....
God has the answers if you will allow it.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
