You have no proof that God does exist. If you had proof, you wouldn't need belief. Nobody "believes" a fact. Nobody has "faith" in a fact.
By your definition, everyone is agnostic. Because there is no proof either way, nobody truly knows. Theism is as irrational a position as atheism.

The only thing that the bible says about bats was in Isaiah 2:20, I can't find a scripture about rabbits, and take a look at Isaiah 20:22 you maybe surprised what God thinks about the shape of the world. I don't know much about mythology but I do know about the bible and I think you should do more research on this, you will be surprised at what you find.

The great thing about this forum is that I am allowed to. I also wonder why Atheist would come to a Christian forum. The great thing about this forum is that you are allowed to.

They are in there.
Although I personally wouldn't use them, as often they are translation mistakes. It does show that even if the bible was inspired, most likely the translators were not.
God says the world is flat. Some bibles translate it as "round" but its an incorrect translation. This makes sense though as that was the scientific belief at the time, and further description of what was believed by the Hebrews can be read in the non canonized book of enoch.
Scientifically, the bible is about on par with its time. Nothing much special is said. Although there are a few mistakes, for example, the stars are not infinite as it suggests, but finite and countable. Many scientific errors appear to be translation mistakes.
Historically (and archeologically), the bible does ok for some things and bad with others. Although it depends on how you read it, it does worse if you read it literally. For example, the global flood has been shown to have not happend. No record is found of the plagues of egypt, and no evidence has been found for the exodus as described. Evidence does exist for Jesus, but its often less than many christians think. Same goes for major cities in the bible, quite a few of them have been found, or have major record of their existance.

Round and flat are two different things, if you can read the greek translation, I suggest you do. I can see that to you guys it doesn't matter what God said, it's either changed, false, or etcs. Okay, the skulls in the museum that is supposedly the first humors were found to be fraud there were different animal and human skulls put together but you guys would buy that, but the bible says one thing it just has to have been changed b/c it wasn't the belief at the time, even though no one in the bible said anything about it being a flat world. I am going to take *ardwinna* advice and leave this discussion.

Uh, hey Volos, in your post you have me quoted for something someone else said. 
As for the discussion, I guess my first post had no impact whatsoever, or maybe it was just conveniently ignored.
Either way, I'm going to attempt to get the point across once more.
Tyreth, you say that your position has evidence and proof behind it, while the atheists' positions are based on a lack of proof. This does not make your position any more viable. As I stated before in my first post, the evidence pointing to the existence of God is subjective. This means that the validity of this evidence has no set value. This is precisely why you are convinced by this evidence, and atheists aren't. People judge and interpret the evidence based on their personal biases and conceptions. It is not that the atheists are wrong and you are right, or that they "refuse to accept the truth." It is just that the evidence is completely subjective. The existence of such "evidence" itself is not a logical foundation for a belief in God, because there is no set standard that determines its validity. Therefore, like I stated before, the choice of the atheist to be an atheist and the Christian a Christian are based on the same logic. For example, two people can look at one piece of evidence for Christianity. One of them might be convinced, while the other might not be convinced. This is subjectivity.

Im not sure I understand what you are talking about.
Its your choice to leave, but I dont see the reason.
As far as flat, if you read the bible literally, a look at the hebrew of Isa 40:22 suggests the world is a flat circle. The same sentiment is echoed in the book of enoch but with further description.

Lev. 11:13-20
These are the birds you are to detest and not eat because they are detestable: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, the red kite, any kind of black kite, any kind of raven, the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat.
Bats apparently are birds and not mammals.
Lev. 11:6
And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
Rabbits, are lagomorphs, not ruminants. They do not chew the cud.
Deuteronomy 14:7 . . . as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof.
Here the Bible writer(s) compound the cud blunder by telling us that the rabbits also have hoofs.
Lev. 11:20-23 All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be detestable to you. There are, however, some winged creatures that walk on all fours that you may eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground. Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper. But all other winged creatures that have four legs you are to detest.
Meaning that grasshoppers have four legs not six.
Deuteronomy 32.11 As the eagle taketh her young and bearth them on her wings.
Eagles have never been known to carry their young on their wings.
Genesis 11:9 Therefore its name was called Ba'bel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth.
According to this passage all of the world's languages appeared suddenly in their present form not as the result of the natural ongoing process of growth and development but simply as the result of god's retribution.
Joshua 10:13 The sun stood still, and the moon stayed.
The sun has always stood still in relation to the earth. The Old Testament writers were obviously laboring under the misconception that the sun, not the earth, was moving in an earth-centered universe.
1 Chronicles 16:30 He fixed the earth firm and immovable.
Psalm 93:1 The world also is established, that it cannot be moved.
Here the authors of the bible tell us that the sun goes around the earth as the earth is unmoving.
Not only I site hearth in motion in its rotation, it is also in orbit around the sun and the sun is in orbit around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, and the milky way Galaxy is in a binary like orbit with the Andromda Galaxy and both Andromeda and the Milky Way are moving at incredible speeds among the galaxies of the Virgo cluster. That is A LOT of movement
Matthew 13:31-32 Jesus said,The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree.
The mustard seed is not the smallest of all seeds. Others, such as the orchid seed, are smaller. Also, shrubs do not grow into trees

A.D. does not mean After Death. Its a latin phase, I would try to spell it, but then I would look stupid. It means "In the year of our lord" Which basically means that anything during Jesus's life and after his death should be called A.D.
Although, there are many scholars that believe the BC AD system is wrong and that jesus was born in B.C.
