1) You will be given anything that you ask in prayer? I think we have plenty of proof of the opposite.
2) All science is derived from the bible? Well maybe if you are interested in building pyramids instead of computers or chariots instead of airplanes.
3) There were witnesses? Yes, and there were witnesses to the events in the Jewish faith and the Muslim faith and the Mormon faith and so on.
4) All predictions will be fulfilled in the future? OK, but they kind of missed on the Millenium, didn't they?
5) No contradictions as long as you can interpret the words however you want?
No doubt about it, you are ready. You should move to Iran today and convert everyone there.

I will attempt to refute your logic:
1. I do not know of any instance in which a person has given vision to the blind through prayer alone. I'm not only claiming that I've never seen it happen; I'm saying that I've never even read a newspaper article or listened to an account of this occuring.
2. Where does the Bible mention atomic theory or evolution? What about discoveries made by people who hadn't seen the Bible. The idea of washing one's hands before surgery came to existence in India by polytheists before Jesus was born. If science came before the Bible, how could science be derived from it.
3. There are accounts of Jesus performing miracles, but the accounts need to be verified. The witnesses may have been lying. I could claim to be a witness, but you'd doubt the authenticity of my statements. Why should we treat other accounts differently.
4. You cannot claim that all WILL be fulfilled. You are assuming the future. I could make the claim that the prophecies that have not been fulfilled never will. Besides, if I were to make accurate predictions, would I be a God? Also, biblical predictions nare so vague that there's nothing spectacular about them. For example, the Bible predicts that there would be war in the Middle East. That statement is undeniably true, but every region, with the exception of Antarctica, has been subject to war in the last 2,000 years.
5. Green Eggs and Ham, by Dr. Seuss, when translated literally or figuratively has no contradictions either. Besides, if you allow for interpretations, people will change meanings to avoid contradictions. For example, towards the beginning of Genesis, there is an account of the creation of humans. However, God creates the first man once, but does it again a few sentences later. It then talks about Adam being the first man. If this is the second time man is being created by God, how can Adam be the first man? You either accept the contradiction or you lie and change the meaning so you don't have to think about this concept. Godforbid critical thinking be used in theology.

No a lot of the science was study by the muslims and greeks, who did not follow the bible. the greeks study philliscocial views on the world the turned into theory, and the arbic people like the practial side of things. A great example is chemisty taken from alchemisty which is greek/arbic for "The art of the black land"
black land - black sea (not magic) which was thought about through non christian methods.

Is this Willie Aimes? "Hey Charles!"
Did you know religion is the ultimate obstacle for humans to evolve?
Since the very beginning, religion has always been there pushing aside science. In religion, we are told that we are important! Exalt us!
In science, it is just the opposite. We are insignificant and small. I find that much more humbling than this reassuring belief that we must be important.
We may not believe anymore that the Earth is the center of the universe but we do seem to believe that humans are.

Brother, it sure would be nice if reality were this simple. Your heart's in the right place. Now it's time to take a long hard look at the more difficult questions regarding religion in general and Christianity in particular. Then you'll be better prepared to give an answer for the hope that is within you.

How many blind people's sight have you restored, exactly? Think of all the money you could make doing that that you could use to feed starving families!

"All the science and technology is actually derived from Bible."
I'll say it just like I said on your previous post:
COMEDY GOLD.

If you need proof, you have no faith.
Sounds like bibleman just confessed to a lack of faith.
