@farmerman,
Lol, the Bible is full of lots of ridiculous things perhaps more than the "Book of Earl".
But it is not completely devoid of all truth.
If it did not have even the slightest bit of truth it would not be the largest religion in the world with 1/3 of the world following some form of it. (include Islam and nearly 2/3 of the world adhere to some for of it)
Also over 50% of the discussions on A2k would not be centered around defending or discrediting it. (no book can be PERFECTLY wrong or right)
There is some truth in the Bible, though it pains me to say this...
Yet, is it the word of God? No...
