I have a copy of the Greek, Hebrew, and Chaldee Interlinear Bible. It is a great study tool.

The Bible is the most scrutinized book in history. It also has more copies of old manuscripts supporting it than all other ancient documents in history combined. Only a few of these copies have differences, and those are so small and insignificant, that it is clear the they all came from a single original source.

Besides the academic scrutiny that these manuscripts have been subjected to for centuries, another witness to the accuracy of their preservation is numerology.

This is a huge subject that is one of the most neglected yet most power studies as to the authenticity of the Bible and the connectedness of the internal books, i.e., they were all inspired by the same Person:

The numerology is consistent throughout the Bible.

Arguments about the reliability of scripture are dead, except, of course, to those who attempt believe they can avoid the horrific suffering of eternal hell by entertaining denial.

In contract to fearmongers, courageous men and woman stand up and are willing to face that fact that God exists, and that the evidence is solid and credible, and so we are subject to Him.


¨ Fact One: The existence of thousands of Greek and Latin manuscripts, with the papyri and early uncials dating much closer to the originals than for any other ancient literature;

¨ Fact Two: The lack of proven fraud or error on the part of any New Testament author;

¨ Fact Three: The writings of reliable Christian resources outside the New Testament;

¨ Fact Four: The existence of a number of Jewish and secular accounts about Jesus;

¨ Fact Five: Detailed archaeological data concerning the New Testament;

¨ Fact Six: The existence of many powerful enemies of Jesus and the apostolic church who would have proven fraud or pointed out other problems if they could;

¨ Fact Seven: The presence of living eyewitnesses to the events recorded;

¨ Fact Eight: The positive appraisals by conservative and even some liberal authorities bearing on the issue of the genuineness of traditional authorship and the early date of the New Testament books;

¨ Fact Nine: The consistent scholarly, factual reversals of the conclusions of higher criticism that undermine its own foundations and credibility; and

¨ Fact Ten: Legal and other testimony as to New Testament reliability.

"There is, I imagine, no body of literature in the world that has been exposed to the stringent analytical study that the four gospels have sustained for the past 200 years…. Scholars today who treat the gospels as credible historical documents do so in the full light of this analytical study."
—F. F. Bruce



Only while we have a lack of information, which makes my point perfectly.

Extrapolations have been wrong in the past, these decay curves rely on huge assumptive extrapolations that are borrowed from observations.

Why should any intelligent person not be skeptical?

Again I remind you that I was taught that the world is 300 million years old just 20+ years ago. Now, it's being taught to be 6 billion years old.

Why the discrepancy?

Assumption.

Common sense says:

Don't assume.



Before I provide these for you, please tell me:

Are you actually unaware of these findings, which are actually not so new? (Seems you should have heard about them by now.)



Several years ago, you would have been hard pressed to find a dentist that believed that amalgam fillings offgas mercury. Not surprisingly, they were all wrong.

Additionally, when is comes to dating methods, I have heard testimony from archeologists who are aware of how dating often takes place.

They boldly stated that the "desired" date is sent to the lab with the sample. The technicians then adjust the equipment so that it results in the "desired" date. This is then taken as the radio-dating result.

Although this may be hard for some not in the field to believe, this type of corruption is rampant and I have heard first-hand stories from people in a multitude of disciplines tell stores of this type of data manipulation.

And as I've said all along, this type of information control and distortion is committed to attempt to give credibility to the evolution faith so as to discredit the Bible.

And why would anyone want to discredit the Bible?

Because the Bible tells so much about how the world will be deceived in the "last days" that it would subvert the ability for the newly-forming world government to exist.

Why?

Because in order for this world government to exist, it must espouse socialism. The Bible implicitly teaches individual irrevocable rights granted by God and individual responsibility: Concepts which are repugnant to socialism.

So, in short, the Bible teaches people things that would prevent the successful formation of the "New World Order" government which is quickly coming upon us, and without a broad faith in evolution, this corrupt system could never exist.

Follow the money.

If I get the time, I may provide you with video from archeologists exposing how the "dating" process really works.

To believe that all of these scientists have perfect integrity is a fantastically naive belief.

To believe that politics plays no role in the exercise of modern science is also fantastically naive.
