Apologies if I touch on anything already covered here (I'm comin in late and haven't got time to read the whole thread right now)

Firstly - I take it you have never personally studied the Bible in depth? If you did I'm sure you would find that the many instances of fulfilled prophecy prove it is not simply a book written by men

Secondly - The Bible is internally harmonious despite being transmitted throught around 40 different people of differing backgrounds over a period of around 4000 years. Although not stand alone proof, this points to one author

Thirdly, where it does touch on Science, it is accurate - despite being written by people who couldn't have known one way or another e.g. How could Job - around 4000 years ago,know that the earth was 'hanging on (or over) nothing' i.e. Floating in space? (Job 26:7)Also how could the ProphetIsaiah nearly 3000 years ago know the earth was a circle or sphere (Isaiah 40:22) when contempories had ideas such as it being flat and at the bottom of a box which is the universe!!! (Babylonions I think)

Answer: God gave them this information as he created the universe and so know these things.

BTW - if you are thinking 'what about 6 days for creation' it is not talking about literal days. The originalHebrewlanguage allows for the term 'day' to mean an undified period of time (as in when someone says "well in my day.....blah blah blah" )

The whole thing with Christians persecuting Gallileo is actually not really true. The Catholic Church did this, and as an organisation they had proven by their works they were not truly Christian.

@ Chinkkie- Look into these things a bit deeper, and without predudice and hopefully you will start to see the Bible is inspired by God.

BTW - Are you a Muslim?? I ask becausenotice that the quote you gave from that interview is from something by Ahmeed Deedat (spelling??). He has some interesting things to say, but I've also noticed a massive bias and the tendency to be 'selective with the truth'(or sometimes just plain wrong) in his publications. If you are a Muslim, it is interesting to note that the Koran calls the Torah and the Injil (Law and Gospel) 'Books of Wisdom' and encourages readers to check them.

If not then that'll be of little relevance to you!! ;-)) Regardless tho - look into these things deeper. If you beleive in GOD - why not pray about it? To quote Jesus "keep on seeking and you will find".
