Is There Any Reason to Believe the Biblical Story of Creation?

@mark noble,
It's not even 'speculation.' It's all mythological without any basis in fact or evidence.

Even those miracles with thousands in attendance doesn't have any record of those events outside the bible. How can that be? Also, who witnessed that woman turning into a pile of salt, and then recorded it? They had to wait over 200 years to record that event? Something smells like old dead fish.

Quote:
The narrative of Lot's wife begins in Genesis 19 after two angels arrived in Sodom, at eventide, and were invited to spend the night at Lot's home. As dawn was breaking, Lot's visiting angels urged him to get his family and flee, so as to avoid being caught in the impending disaster for the iniquity of the city. Lot delayed, so the angels took hold of his hand, his wife's hand and his daughters and brought them out of the city. The command was given, "Flee for your life! Do not look behind you, nor stop anywhere in the Plain; flee to the hills, lest you be swept away."[1] Lot objected to the idea of fleeing to the hills and requested safe haven at a little town nearby. The request was granted and the town became known as Zoar. Traveling behind her husband, Lot's wife looked back, and was turned into a pillar of salt.[2]


Looking back has become a sin punishable by being turned into a 'pillar of salt.' God's justice! Plain silly and foolish.

@cicerone imposter,
And who witnessed and recorded god's egocentric triumph over his game with lucifer at Job's expense? I agree the biblical hypocrisies are plentiful Cic, but feel no more the need to point them out to anyone - The best I get out of that is a headache.

There are plenty of early gospels and books around that are not in the bible, for example-

Apocalypse of Peter
Epistle of Barnabas
Infancy Gospel of James
Shepherd of Hermas
1st Clement
Gospel of Thomas
The Didache
Lost Epistle to the Corinthians
Third Letter to the Corinthians
Gospel of Mary Magdalene

Why not believe that the Big Bang is the Biblical story of creation and not the seven days part? Maybe that is enough to shut the Creationists up.

Nothing will shut the creationists up. Every new scientific discovery puts another nail in the coffin of their immature superstitions. And when your whole existence is built around your ideology, there's no choice but to go down kicking and screaming like a 2-year-old.

@Brandon9000,
This is coming from man's science. Creation is the first law of thermodynamics, matter and energy can be neither created nor destroyed. There are no natural processes that can alter either matter or energy in this way. Every one who says the universe came into existence from nothing violate the First Law of Thermodyanamics.

Sez who?
The story is well known-
THREE WISE MEN- "We bring gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh"
JOSEPH and MARY- "Thanks, the gold will come in useful but can you exchange that other stuff for a Playstation?"

Because it takes more faith to believe it's not than to believe it is.

The Bible says we have to come as a little child, removing all that we were taught, or exposed to in order to be revealed what is real truth.

@graceforall,
that's because little kids will buy any tale or myth as long as it has a good entertaining story.

Which bit of this upsets you?-
Jesus said- "Love one another, feed the hungry, house the homeless, clothe the destitute, tend the sick, visit the prisoners, look after the poor" (Mark 12:30, John 13:34, Matt 25: 37-40)

@Brandon9000,
The only way for me and most others is based on prophesy. Looking at what was established through history and from that proof what is to come. So basically it comes down to faith. All of history is basically based on events during times we was not present, but there are evidence of this topic that proves through archaeology that it happened.
