Open ended discussion...
Did humans have the ability to write the entire contents of the Bible without the aid of any real God at all?
If one states 'no', please provide 'proof' as to why such ancient texts could not be merely written and derived by human thoughts exclusively?
If one states 'yes', then why should anyone trust the Bible above and beyond any other book of assertions?
(Disclaimer: I already understand 'proof' may lie within the eye of the beholder; and that many conclusions may represent conformation bias. But we may want to ask ourselves, are our conclusions of such a topic consistent? Meaning, do we evaluate other topics equally, or is there instead a presented level of partial or complete cognitive dissonance applied where religion, and maybe even politics, are concerned?).
Thank you in advance for any and all responses and/or comments
