Okay, to make things even more interesting, let's assume it's the WHOLE Bible, every last word, and it's proven to be completely false or a total work of fiction, etc.

Providing you could successfully accomplish the task at notifying the world that it has been proven to be wrong.....providing the curches of the world would let that news go out, an providing you were to survive the underworld that controls the churches.... you could conceivable uproot the basics of organized religion as we know it today. Sure the Atheist would be happy but you will always have those who have the philosophy of the bible so entrenched that you could show them to their faces that the sky is blue and they would still say its red. You just can't change what people believe unless they are open to the change itself.

I think that people would still follow it, at least in some degree, there are good messages and lessons in the bible even if it were false. It is a known fact that people have added to the bible over time, and even so people don't usually question it. Some people would find another religion and christianity would change but not very much.

If the Bible were proven wrong, depending on what parts and to what extent, it could potentially shake the Christian religion pretty bad. However, I seriously doubt that anyone would be able to convince the many staunch supporters of the Bible that it was flawed, no matter what evidence was given. Those who belived in the Bible would probably continue to believe in the Bible, while those who already blew off the Bible would probably continue to blow off the Bible.
I hope that I have answered your question. If you want to contact me personally with more religious questions, you can reach me at roypmckenzie@yahoo.com.

Bible itself is not fictitious or wrong. But i am sorry to say that the bible we have today is not the bible Jesus was bestowed with. Politicians, people and authorities have modified the bible according to their own wishes and desires over ages. One example is , alcohol was strictly forbidden in the earlier versions of the bible. Over the ages, people have altered bible and wrote in the bible that a little alcohol is allowed. The modifications and alterations are already effecting the Christian life. Just see your surroundings and read the history , you will find out the difference if you are a good observer.

To get the true Bible you would have to do a lot of digging.Remember the King James Bible was re-written by people hired by King James during the crusades.Even if those people where the smartest people he could find, even they lost a lot in they way they re-wrote the Bible.But what book doesn't loose something everytime it's re-written?Beside's don't most people only take what they need from the Bible and twist it for their purpose anyway?

If, say, someone were to invent a time machine and travel back to the Judea of the time during which Jesus is believed to have lived and surreptitiously video tape Jesus...
If he turned out to be nothing like what the Christian scriptures describe, some would reconsider their allegiance to their faith, but most would make excuses--"You filmed the wrong guy," "It's a hoax!" etc.--and cling to their belief in the ideas they grew up believing and have come to depend upon. Proof has little effect on those who consider religion to be a matter of blind faith.

It would be interesting to say the least, but the more it is trying to be outdated as an ancient text book the more it is proved by archaeologists. Just like Atheists and others proclaimed that King David was a myth and the castle of Herod didn't exist, archaeologists found the invisible. Not only did they find David's Citadel they found the ancient tiles that had his name inscripted on them.

We've actually known for a long time that it is flawed. There are parts that don't make sense and it is internally inconsistent. Even so, it is still a great source of spiritual guidance. The only people who would suffer would be Bible literalists.

People wrote the Bible, so it is possible that some parts may be slightly flawed. However, I believe in Christ, his life, death, resurrection and eventual return to earth. If you really are a Christian, you should trust in Him no matter what.

With carbon dating, and evolution proven, and Christians disagreeing what the Bible says, how many more times must it be proven wrong? You tell me.
