There is a lively debate going on at the History's Mysteries board at Beliefnet.com about a fundamental Christian trying to prove the Bible to atheists and agnostics. But, sides are determined to show the other side wrong. They are both turning blue in the face trying to convince the opposing points of view. The Bible is not a book of science and should not be treated as such. I really don't feel that you need to prove it to those who do not believe.
The Bible is a history of the Jewish (partly), Christian and Islamic (partly) faiths. Let me repeat, it is not a book of science. It is a book of miracles. The miracles cannot be explained or duplicated. They need to be understood in the context they are presented and not used for any other purpose. When the sun stood still for three days, that was a miracle. Science will tell you that it is impossible for the earth to stop turning or change the length of the day. I accept that. It was a miracle that cannot be explained by religion nor by science, but only by the omnipotent God.
I do not understand the need for some Christians to prove their faith to others. That is why they call it faith, because you don't have to fully explain it. I don't know enough to begin in starting to convince non-believers. I refuse to start Bible-thumping.
