My word you're really starting to piss me off....

You keep taking one little item from an entire post and attack it...all the while ignoring the point of the post.

Did you not read my example? My whole point is that the bible was *compiled* by people after the works were written (you've admited as much yourself) Who were these people that that dedided which stories were to be left out and which were to be added? How do we know they didn't re-write stories, or add their own stories(and in fact there is evidence to suggest that is exactly what happend). How can a book be labeled divine when it was *compiled* by man (proven) even if it was written by divine inspiration from God (not proven)?

Perhaps the bible claims the earth to be 2500 years old..or 4000 years...I forget the exact figure and don't carry a bible whereever I go. The bible puts the age of the Earth in the thousands...science puts in in the Millions--if not billions--of years....and certainly hasn't proven it to be in the thousands (as you claimed).

Frankly, I think it would be best if you refrained from responding to my post as you seem entirely incapable of doing anything but trying to attack my opinions by pointing out minor errors. It would be like you writing out a well thought, mind provoking, essay and my answer being "yeah, but it's not your, it's you're...idiot" If you are going to respond to my post and want to point out errors--fine--but have the courtesy to respond to the WHOLE post.

What you have essentially proven to me is that you read only what you want to read, and when you have no good answer to an argument you find some minor detail within the argument to attack in and attempt to discredit the entire conclusion. I don't build straw men arguments...and you don't destroy a house by knocking out a few bricks.
