-Who wrote each book (section) of the Bible. (The Bible is now one book because all of the small books were put together at a certain point, so I need to know who wrote which one.)

-When each book was written - I need the year.

I need very accurate information, so only those who really know need respond. And please stay on topic. Sorry to put all of this but if I don't, I get all kinds of answers to religious questions and I really need this particular specific information only.

Thanks!!!

so there was a question about adam and the breath of life and all that. here is what some annoying prick said:

"Whoa I still don't understand why people believe this crap. Lets debunk this quickly using the bible itself for referance. Adam and eve had two children. Later the two children were said to travel to other villages to find wives. HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN IF ADAM AND EVE CREATED LIFE??? Case closed, have yourself a nice day and try not to believe everything that is said to you."

first off, before i get into this, i dont care if you are athiest and want to rag on the church, because thats your opinion. but if you want to rag about the church, GET YOUR **** STRAIGHT!!!!

now, my rant. adam was made, then eve from his rib, as all christians should know. adam and eve lived over 900 years you stupid prick. they had more than 2 sons, and a hell of a lot of daughters. all of them when they came to age, left home to set up their own villiage and home, im sure.

Will my Bride of ten years and I ever have a chance to "stop and smell the flowers."

It just seems like the problems NEVER stop.

There is a difference...and try to stray from the "I'm both!" cop out...just take some time and REALLY consider the differences...
----------

I'm more spiritual. I believe in God and Jesus, but I don't go to a church or follow a specific doctrine so I'm not really religious...

Alright, so I'm Roman Catholic and live in the south which is never really good. Within 20 miles of where I live, there are two catholic churches. One is really political which I don't like and the other is really cold. By cold, I mean the church is made entirely out of concrete. The walls, floors, and pews are just unpainted concrete which gives it a kind of dungeon feel. Would it be wrong to switch religions so I can go to a church with a more comfortable social and political environment? If I do that, should I switch to that denomination?

We haven't had a good ol fashioned Kool-Aid cult in years...

I miss Waco and the Nike Aliens.... they made the media circus fun to watch...

Is Scientology the "craziest" we can get anymore? It's not CRAZY enough...

I want to see some hillbilly baptists that get into cannibalism as transconfiguration, or maybe some Mormons that build a space shuttle to that planet that God lives on....

THAT would be fun to watch.... what do you think?

Would you accept that faith is different from religion?

Faith is what you believe in your heart; religion is the organization that you attend to be with others who have a similar belief to you.

So here is my question:
Why have I met a number of faithful people that continue to follow religions that they do not agree with the tenants of?

I realize that part of it is ignorance of the tenants of their church, but I would think that someone's strong faith would make them want to understand their religion and draw them to a group that felt the same way they do.

would HE afford everyone the right of "free will," knowing -- since He is all powerful and knowledgeable -- that man and woman, in their infinite sense of selfishness and sin, and in exercising this right of "free will", would disobey Him at their leisure?

I have heard the argument from theists/creationists that the probability of the universe being fined tuned to our specifications without God would be astronomically low (anthropic principle); this argument can also apply to evolution too. And no, I did not copy and paste this. But trust me it is worth the length.

One of the standard atheist arguments against this is that calculating these odds after the fact is no argument whatsoever. To better explain what this means, just think about the probability of you, as of today, being how you are. Not only do you have to include the myriad combinations of genes during meiosis that could potentially be in the gametes but the subsequent combining of those gametes during fertilization. So we have 10 million sperm in each “you know”, each carrying their own different set of genes from the father and the 100,000 eggs that are in the mother, also with their own unique combination of genes.

Lets also look at the combinations of events that could also prevent you from even being born. Both your parents would have to be alive (obviously) along with every other member of your family in a direct parent-offspring relationship throughout your family tree. We also have to see the events in their lives that could have potentially made them impotent beforehand or dead or even have prevented them from meeting their partner.
