So in your world we can't know anything about history from a history book?
We don't call something a history book when it conflicts with the evidence.
So in your world, we can't know anything about history from the scientific evidence?
Even a history book - a legit one - is not the same thing as traveling back in time and witnessing things for yourself. Eyewitness accounts frequently leave things out, they misinterpret events, are subject to bias, et cetera. Eyewitnesses are notoriously unreliable, and historians do not automatically assume that an eyewitness account of an event is 100% correct.
Historical method - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At any rate, the Bible is not a time machine. There are plenty of details about the history of the world that it leaves out. Even if we take it as 100% true - and there's no reason to do that - it records the history of a relatively small part of the world. You won't learn anything from, for example, Chinese history from reading the Bible, or aborigines, or Native Americans.

Firstly I want to state. I believe in the LITERAL interpretation of the bible. I reject the theory of Evolution.
There are many reasons and arguments, but probably the simplest is: look at the fruit.
All the worst Leaders over history, the ones that have killed the most people and caused the most suffering have subscribed to the Evolutionary belief system. Hitler comes to mind, he was obsessed with protecting and enhancing the "superior" German race. His evolutionary world view enabled him to justify killing millions of "inferior" (less evolved) jews - in his mind they were just holding the Superior German race back. Upon closer inspection Hitler was also exterminating the disabled, and diseased people and basically was doing horrific things - but had convinced himself it was right for Germany.
In short, evolution leaves us with no moral system for society to follow, because we're all just an accident, there is no God and no one is accountable for good or evil. Its got to be one of the most dangerous and evil theories ever devised by man, although I doubt it was man allow who inspired it.

Upon closer inspection Hitler was also exterminating the disabled, and diseased people - he had convinced himself only the strongest of the species (of the Germans) should be permitted to reproduce.
In short, evolution has NO moral system,
because we're all just an accident, there is no God and no one is accountable for good or evil.

God describes in Genesis, the creation the way He did it. That it happened a short time ago, that is less than 10,000 years. Let's suppose for a moment God really did use evolutionary process to create everything. God could have easily explained that process to Moses in a way he could understand. It might have read, "I created life in the oceans too small for you to see it, but over long periods of time (millions of years) it grew into all the creatures that you see today." But that is not what it says in Genesis. God doesn't need to deceive, but He remains the same even though time passes for us.
Let's NOT add words to God's word.
Let the bible speak for itself.....the word of God and evolution cannot even be mentioned in the same sentence...it's polar opposites. It was a 6 day creation, there was no gap theory, man was created in god's image.
Evolution is religion, they have no evidence (all of it is fake pseudo science)
Do you reject Phlogiston theory?No offence, but why don't you reject the theory of gravity while you're at it.
madaz said:The ToE is NOT a belief system.
Do you reject Phlogiston theory?
No offense, but why don't you reject the theory of gravity while you're at it?
(Note: For the record, I know Phlogiston theory is a busted theory. It has been replaced by Combustion theory. Thus I assume your answer is going to be YES. But I'll wait and see if you get my point.)
Evolution is not observable, repeatable, or refutable so it doesn't qualify as a scientific fact or theory. Evolution must be accepted with faith by its believers, many of whom deny the existence, or at least the power, of the Creator.
You cannot see evolution taking place. You cannot say that "we are here, so it happened".
The Biblical account of creation is not observable, repeatable or refutable either. Both are belief systems and rely on faith.

Well then, according to your criteria, the existence of Jesus was merely an assumption.
