Do you guys think that the Bible is a credible source of information? I often hear people cite the Bible as their reason for believing in God etc, and can't help thinking 'it's just a book'. I know that it has historical factual content, yet in most cases it was written and compiled hundreds of years after the events, which makes the explicit details of the story (i.e. They marched around the city 7 times, so God destroyed the walls for them etc) completely unreliable, as that is exactly the kind of thing that will get added given the chinese whisper effect of a story having to survive from word of mouth for so long, the same goes for Jesus and all his 'miracles'.
