The Bible suggests that mankind originated in the Middle East somewhere. All of the original Seven Wonders of the world were in or around the Mediterranean area. Not much was going on elsewhere in the world around 1000 BC.
Also, the Bible says there was a world wide flood. Interestingly, most other religions, including those of Native Americans, suggested that there was a massive flood. Also, oceanic fossils found on mountain tops suggest this to have been the case.
There is also a scripture in the Bible, written around 300 BC, that states "the earth hangs upon nothing." Around the same time, the Zoroastrians thought earth was being held up by elephants and the Greeks thought it was Atlas holding up earth.
Is all of this coincidence or does this make you have a certain amount of caution before writing off the Bible as fiction?
