Here's my question, if the bible was written 3500 years ago, how come there is no proof of any of it? Yet, Egyptian history is older and there's much more proof of it. Why is that? Proof isn't "Look around you " or "the bible says so"

I'm sorry, but there is no proof of Noah's Ark folks.

Angel, the Dead Sea Scrolls do not prove anything.

I think some of these Christians are forgettting about the OT and Judaism... and if God can do anything, why doesn't he send me a digital photo of Jesus on the cross or Noah's Ark in an e-mail

Well, considering the Jews have been persecuted since around that time it's not surprising most of their holy documents were destroyed, their first temple was destroyed in 586BCE and second by 100AD. As for the bible itself, St Peter only started writing the "Jesus was the messiah" thing, years after Jesus' death based upon recollection and hearsay (no proof there). The bible is comprised of the Tarakh (old Testament) and other writing that is considered the "new Testament" which was started after 70AD. People were adding stories to it up till 400AD and between 400-800AD the scripture was being compiled and translated from Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek to Latin. Jesus lived and died according to the Torah/Tarakh , which was written 850BC. Some scrolls and writings are around but most allegedly were destroyed with the attempted Jewish genocide of 586BC. The New Testament was mostly written and kept by the Greeks and much like the shroud of Turin are questionable in validity. IF the Jews are still waiting for the Messiah, and this Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew so much so that he was willing to die before renouncing his Judaic faith, than there is no bible. The holy document would still be the Tanakh and the New Testament was an instrument the Greeks came up with to instill fear and order. There is no proof for what you ask for the simple reason that it is not true. "The Bible" was written around 400AD. Also, to answer why ancient Egyptian history is more tangible and validated versus the "Christian" order of things, scrolls are easily destroyed (fire, water, etc.) while hieroglyphics and pyramids, especially the way they were made, stand the test of time and weather (and war etc...) There is also some speculation that the original text given to Moses (Tarakh, or Tawrat in Arabic) is in the care of the Muslims.

Of course, you are "correct." Fanatics of religion (Jewish lineage) always like to use the precept of the "Alpha and Omega" pun to indicate that "God" was the word and as for a "bible," God's word is of the "beginning" but in truth, the "bible" per say did not exist until the 16th century when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press. Thus, the "Gutenberg Bible."
I am a devout faithful one of the Egyptian faith and as such the faith of the "beginning" given to human kind by the Lord. As for the "first" bible to actual be produced to the faithful of the Lord of Creation WAS, upon the walls of the Pyramids of Giza, called the "Pyramid Texts."
The Lord be with you....

The Bible wasn't written 3500 years ago.
Some of the books and stories in the Bible are that old. The first five books of the Bible can also be found in the Torah.
As for the Bible, it is actually a collection of books. The Bible took many forms until around 300-400 AD when the council of Nicaea gathered to discuss what would be Christian doctrine (Nicene Creed).
It was then the Books we see in the Bible were put together (not in chronological order, they put Revelation last for effect), and other books were discarded because it didn't agree with what this council thought was Christ's doctrine.

There is proof to parts of the bible.
There are records of some of the kings and characters mentioned, there are records of settlements, wars, etc.
However, there is also stuff that is just plain wrong.
Even it was historically 100% accurate, that does not make the god bits true.
The Odyssey and the Iliad have good accuracy on places, people and events. That does not mean that Zeus Aphrodite, et al. live on Mount Olympus.

The "New Testament" was written in 325 CE by Constantine, and the Council of Nicea. It's just a bunch of personified tales of natural astrological astronomical occurences of the Sun, and the 12 signs of the Zodiac, or if you're a Christian, the 12 apostles/disciples.
For instance when Jesus/Horus/Hesus is betrayed by Judah that is the story of scorpio, and the scorpions sting which is nothing more than a tale about a constellation.
The bible even says these things are stars in various places, Christianity was created by the elite at the time which was the The Roman Catholic Papacy, to dominate the world for this era which is almost over. The Council of Nicea that put the bible together were a bunch of pagan priests of various sects. The Church combined all the sun worshipping religions at the time into one big book to unite the Roman Empire under one SUN God called Jesus Christ which is nothing more than a combination of Horus/Hesus/Crishna... it's all the same thing, the SUN.

There is proof. You must not want to really see it. Noah's Ark was found on top of the tallest mountain after a really warm time had melted thousands of years of snow away.
Seek and you WILL FIND.
There have also been fossils found with dinosaur and human tracks together; not millions of years apart.

It's probably more approperiate to ask whether the Bible was written OVER 3500 years.
