Since you like to claim that many of us are blindly following what others have told us, where did you get the information for this article? You claim that Intelligent Design is garbage. Where is your evidence to back it up? Did you actually do the study on this yourself or did you read someone else's research? You claim the Bible was written by the Catholic Church. Again, were you there to witness this event or did you actually do the study yourself? Most likely, you are using someone else's research, which would mean that you following what someone else told you.

I cannot personally attest to having witnessed something that happened more than a 1000 years ago.

However, you entirely miss the point. You might as well argue that I just accept what I'm told when I say that Michael Crichton wrote Sphere. Did I witness him doing so? Of course not. Is there documentation from multiple sources of this conclusion? Obviously. Is there any documentation supporting an alternative conclusion? Not that I can find. Is there any other reason to doubt the sources of what documentation there is supporting this conclusion? Nope. So, Michael Crichton wrote Sphere and the Catholic Church wrote the Bible.

It's general knowledge to everyone in the world except "Christians" in the United States. Now, let me perhaps clarify a little. The King James Bible that you probably have was written by a bunch of English folk commissioned by King James to give the Anglican Church some credibility. However, it was still based on the Catholic Bible (it's not like the Vatican opened up the Archives to a bunch of English Heretics so they could review the original texts). And, also let me clarify that when I say the Catholic Church wrote the Bible I mean that they compiled and edited and hand copied various historical texts to create a teaching tool for priests. As I've previously mentioned, a "Teacher's Edition."

After you learn ancient Greek and Hebrew so you can at least make a start, petition the Vatican for access to the Archives, and provide us both with an extended trip to Rome, I will show you exactly what the Bible was compiled from. Ok?

To earning a Master's Degree from a Bible College they do not teach you any Bible History? Get your money back.

I did not witness the event, but it is well-documented by multiple sources. Since I happen to be a thinking person, I am able to determine that multiple independent sources of documentation based on reason are a good foundation for establishing fact. That I independently sought out and read multiple sources including all contradicting evidence available? Not just blindly following the teachings of someone else. Get it?
