Lupus, lolol your "ennit" - or "innit" as some say (greatly abbreviated form of "ain't it" is very mild compared to the downright vulgarities that come from a lot of mouths. Besides, I like your tongue-in-cheek humor. The world would turn a little more smoothly if more people would loosen up a little and stop being so doggone paranoid over everything.
There is no doubt in my mind that the translations from original scrolls that today people refer to as "The Bible" could never have been either written or even inspired by any Supreme Being of Infinite Wisdom and Intelligence, because if that were so, that book would not be so chockful of contradictions, sleaze, and an amazing obscession with violence and sadism. Hmm. contradictions, sleaze and an obscession with violence and sadism. Now doesn't that make you think of a whole species of living intelligences? Ohh, yes, that's right.... Humans. Just your regular old fashioned human beings wrote that screed, and some wondrously imaginative stuff it has in there too. No. I wouldn't put in the fiction section at the Library. I'd put it in the Adults Only section. If a lot of what is contained in that book were to be written in any other book, the child protective authorities would have it whipped clear off the shelves and had it labelled "Adult Material"

Actually, go to this site:
http://www.answersingenesis.org/
and you'll find that much that was in the Bible was proven. For example, Jericho.
Archeologists found that the walls had completely crumbled...except in one small section, against which was one house. Could it be...Rahab's house? (Joshua 2)
Also, after the walls collapsed, the city was burned, which archeologists were also able to corroborate. AND, as if that wasn't enough, they found cases of GRAIN, just left there. Grain was a rare commodity back then. It was not only used for food, but also for trading. It was like gold. So why would it have been left?
Could it be because God commanded the Israelites to only take precious metals, and burn the rest? Hmmm...
There's a lot more, too. Every single person mentioned in the Bible DID exist (except perhaps Job and Jonah, I think those were just parables), and there is historical evidence for them.
So, no, it's not made up.

Bible predictions of things to happen in the future confirm the inspiration of Scripture as they come to pass. Notice the following examples of fulfilled Bible prophecies:
A. Four world empires to arise: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome (Daniel chapters 2, 7, 8).
B. Cyrus to be the warrior to capture Babylon (Isaiah 45:1-3).
C. After Babylon's destruction, it would never be inhabited again (Isaiah 13:19, 20; Jeremiah 51:37).
D. Egypt would never again have a commanding position among the nations (Ezekiel 29:14, 15; 30:12, 13).
E. Earth-shaking calamities and fear toward the end of time (Luke 21:25, 26).
F. Moral degeneracy and decline of spirituality in the last days (2 Timothy 3:1-5).
The 66 books of the Bible were written:
1. On three continents.
2. In three languages.
3. By about 40 different people (kings, shepherds, scientists, attorneys, an army general, fishermen, priests, and a physician).
4. Over a period of about 1,500 years.
5. On the most controversial subjects.
6. By people who, in most cases, had never met.
7. By authors whose education and background varied greatly.
Yet, though it seems totally inconceivable,
1. The 66 books maintain harmony with each other.
2. Often new concepts on a subject are expressed, but these concepts do not undermine what other Bible writers say on the same subject.

What evidence have you to show that it's made up? Can you imagine a book that was written by 40 persons over 16 centuries, none of them had ever met and yet the outcome concurs? Apart from genealogies in the old testament, the other books in the old testament foretell what is to happen in the new testament and the new testament foretells what is to happen in the future of which some things have already taken place and others are yet to be. So how you want it to be in the fiction section and yet it is a fact, astounds me. I will keep you in prayer so you can see the truth that i see.God bless

The Bible is the most amazing work ever written. It contains truth and needs to be studied ernestly to be understood fully. Within it are also simple truths that will lead mankind to a relationship with the creator and life eternal. Many who have studied the Bible in an attempt to disprove it have been persuaded by the overwhelming evidence they uncovered once they started to dig.

The only thing made up as far as I can see is your spelling. Tell me, are you not embarassed to put something as infantile on here? You start by asking a question, then suggest an answer and then finish with a question!!
