King David committing adultry and murder people sacrificing their children a woman who ate her own child do I need to go on? Solomon going after other Gods because of his many wifes etc.

Funny thing about David -- IIRC, the prophet Nathan eventually called him out on his adultery... but nobody ever called him out for his treason.

And Solomon is still praised for his wisdom... so no harm no foul, eh?

The first thing to remember is that some history cannot be ignored, so it gets whitewashed... The second thing is that you're assuming that ancient people would have the same standard of "horrible" behavior that we do today. You say "many wives"; they say " royal privilege." #itsgoodtobetheking

I don't know. I'm not arrogant enough to think that I do know

No arrogance is needed to read a few books on a topic.
Just the humility to accept to be willing to learn

Until about two hundred years ago they believed the earth was about 6000 years old

With the "they" being limited to the adherents of the judeo/christian/islamic complex of religions.
Hindus placed the earth at millions and millions of years old.

Yes they do with carbon dating. Science is cool.

Radiocarbon dating is not used to measure the age of the earth. It is only good for measuring the age of organic materials, within a limited range.

The fact that Adolf Hitler was baptized,

By whom?

Now you know why we insist on rebaptizing, don't you?

If life is the result of random chance what value does life have? It's survival of the fittest.

Capital "If" again.
First you need to demonstrate that life is in fact the result of random chance.
So far, all evidence is against you.

It is the history of Israel going back to the roots

No. It is not.
It will NEVER be the history of the occupation of Palestine

You don't have a clue what all God did to David, do you?

For just one example, read Psalm 38.

You'd think you were reading a prayer by Job.

I cannot find the name of the priest who officiated at the baptism.

Now you know why we insist on rebaptizing, don't you?

No I do not.

"Its" should have an apostrophe: "it's".

And as science, IF it pretends to be, it is no science.

What is "hidtory"?

That doesn't surprise me one bit.

You are seriously misinformed

How so?
Please do tell.

You think the evidence points to life being the result of random chance?

No. Evolution is

Right, I was mistaken in my terminology. It has something to do with radioactive something or other.

???
Ok. Evolution is what? Obviously not pointing to the idea that life is caused by random chance, since evolution depends on utterly non-random processes taking place AFTER life gets established.

You know, I don't think evolution is designed to be random. It's about adapt and survive. The ones who adapted to environmental conditions survived, and the ones who couldn't didn't. More systematic than random I think.
