I read the first two pages of this post and stopped beacuse it would take too much time to read them all. So my apologies if I repeat anything that is said.There are a lot of misconceptions about the Bible. People question its meaning and deem the events impossible. HOWEVER, the Bible is not MEANT to be taken word for word. It is a group of inspirational stories to inspire people to do great things. Such as Moses. Moses probably didnt lead 100,000 people out of egypt, speak to God, was given the Ten Commandments and parted the Red Sea. But in reading this, it is meant to inspire people, who think they are small, to do big things. Any Christian priest will tell you that it wasnt meant to be taken word for word. Even if you dont believe in God, I think if you look at the Bible as inspirational stories, it will catch the eye of pretty much anyone.
