Re: Holy Writings
One of the points I was making is that there is no more evidence for God of the Bible than there is for any creator I could make up. So the God of the Bible is just as likely to be made up as the ones I list. What further evidence is there for a creator that made the Earth in 6 days than there is for one that made the Earth in 3 days, or 50 days? You could make further slight modifications to virtually every little section of the Bible, so that you end up with a radically different story, and it would be just as supported/unsupported by evidence as the Bible is.
One thing that strikes me is the idea that humans have to make God up. Would it not be more logical to assume that God was around before we were?
