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. Phenomena tickles the human mind, then people explain it away attributing it to some unknown force.
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 Hmmmm.
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)

People weren'tthat ignorant back then you know. You be suprised to see what ideas people come up with when they actually have the time to think.
Answer: God gave them this information as he created the universe and so know these things.See what I mean, this is what happens when people don't think.

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" ) Hmmmm
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. What do you think the second beast came from? Same entity baby.
@ Chinkkie- Look into these things a bit deeper, and without predudice and hopefully you will start to see the Bible is inspired by God.
Also Chinkkie, look into itwithout emotion, but use logic and reason....and then you'll become one of MINE **Evil stare**
To quote Jesus "keep on seeking and you will find". Yes in the most unexpected places to boot, like in the centre of the brain.
