The Bible had a man which lived in a fish for days, The Bible has a man that lived to 900 years old, The Bible said Noah had two of every animal in a f**king boat. None of these are logical. If you want to tell me they are go ahead. If you would like to present evidence for these tales go ahead. YOU HAVE THE BURDEN OF PROOF And my argument was the Problem of Evil. I'm not explaining it again, too much effort Fail. I don't want to put too much effort into explaining why.

It's a problem for you, but not for me.

I was talking about your examples of logical fallacies in the Bible, even though it might have historical significance. People have survived inside of sea creatures before. The earth would have been more sustainable for life, which is why dinosaurs could live at all, and humans could live longer than they do now. Think about it, if the world was almost brand new, there would be very little disease, and no pollution. And of course, if you were a believer in God, it would be easy to believe that he would send 2 of every kind to the ark.
But whatever, I don't really understand the problem of evil either, nor can I get past the blame laid on all humanity because of some obscure deed done by the first man and woman.

I wouldn't ask "Why is there evil in the world", I'd ask "why is man evil?"
(but there's no need to start that debate)

Because it wouldn't be a debate, it would be just people who have no idea what they're saying talking about random things.

I like how he tries to show evidence that the Bible is divine but completely fails,

I like how he tries to show evidence that the Bible is divine but completely fails, I like how you are given the proof you asked for and deem it to be crap simply for the sake of deeming it to be crap. At this point, your argument is weak. I demonstrate evidence you specifically asked for and you do literally nothing to invalidate it. This leads me to believe that the evidence is sound.

Once again, dlectronic, YOU have the burden of proof, I read the article, and it does not provide any evidence what so ever to prove the Bible is a divine book. This does not prove ANY DIVINITY WHATSOEVER. IT IS A JOKE. Having internal consistencies does not have ANYTHING to do with being devine. There is ZERO evidence that the Bible is divine. I am so confident in saying this because there is absolutely no proof of God's existence. The article never mentions that, of course it would leave out the MOST IMPORTANT FACT It's a joke of an article, it uses the Bible to prove Jesus is the son of God YEAH THATS SUCH SOLID REASONING I CAN'T ARGUE WITH THAT Also: WHAT THE f**k IS THIS s**t the article is completely biased, therefore, worthy of dismissing. I'm done arguing with you, I don't want to see any more one-sided, biased, and completely irrelevant links spouting a mixture of facts and bull s**t.

Calm yourself, Brent, I am not angry. There is no need for you to be. Anger also doesn't do well to prove a point in an essay.
I disagree with your specific claims. If the Bible is NOT divinely inspired, how are multiple prophecies written in the old testament answered and fulfilled in the new testament?
*EDIT* I comment on anger because I have many a time made a fool of myself by posting in anger. It doesn't help much...

I think that article is terrible too, by the way. I'm not going to get involved in the debate otherwise because there's no point.

Text is subjective, I may appear angry by using caps, but in reality I'm just using caps to emphasize certain words and swearing because...
well I swear. I pride myself on being low key and not having the anger issues my dad has.

Again I ask, If the Bible is NOT divinely inspired, how are multiple specific prophecies written in the old testament answered and fulfilled in the new testament?
