Factual backing? You know where the Garden of Eden is? Have seen Noah's Arc? Have seen the stone tablets whereon the 10 commandments were written? How about God, where is the factual backing for Him? Right, there is none (unless you choose to individual interpret something to be factual or evidentiary).
All (most) religions are based on faith and not factual evidence. Additionally, they are personal and believed according to individual witnesses. What you believe is what you believe and I respect that, just as I respect all people regardless of their beliefs (even those who don't really know what they believe). God bless.

Even if you choose not to believe any of the super natural or divine aspects of the bible, it is an invaluable record of the history of the Hebrew people. I don't put any credibility on its creation mythology or the flood. I'm sure the is a kernel of truth in there somewhere but it is basically a myth just like every other culture developed. There almost certainly was an ark of the covenant, whether or not it had any power beyond the symbolic. The Bible has a great deal of factual backing, even if you read it as the historical records of a superstitious and primitive group of religious fanatics. I do not discount the existence of God, I just do not think that everything ever written about him or attributed to him is accurate.

There is no evidence to support any of the supernatural claims of the bible.
From a historical point, yes, the bible mentions ancient cities, and towns that did in fact exist. However, this is not sufficient to believe in the supernatural aspects of the bible. Consider Huckleberry Finn written by Mark Twain (Sam Clemens). It describes and names a body of water called the Mississippi River. Yet, we know that such a body of water exists. Can we then assume that the entire contents of Huck Finn is accurate and non-fiction? It would not be rational to do so.
The bible could very well belong to what we now categorize as historical fiction.

You mean the ark that allegedly held two each of the millions of life now present on the earth, including 2 or every ant, 2 of every worm, etc. Is this religion better than the mormonism invented by that lecherer Smith?

No, it most certainly does not. Every ark 'discovery' turned out to be a hoax. There is absolutely ZERO evidence for anything supernatural that happened in the Bible. It's not any more credible than the book of Mormon.

Even if some "ark" was found-which I doubt it-how can you possible believe that it was used as described in the bible.
Please use your brain once in a while.

just another bs to trick people. as usual , some even went to prove earth didnt rotate neither did it rotate around sun . while others still insist earth is flat.
MAN SERIOUSLY , you are given a brain , you are bless with logic , eyes and internet access.
instead of checking the reliability of your sources , you choose to ask bs questions .

The ark has not been found, contrary to claims by hucksters like Ron Wyatt.
