Proof abounds, you just refuse to see it.

Reproduction produces variable traits in offspring. If a trait is advantageous to an organism, making it more likely for the organism to survive to adulthood and reproduce, then that trait will have a greater chance of being passed on, which over time can lead to speciation. Evolution is so simple and obvious, it'd be amazing if it didn't happen, and it should be completely non-controversial. That is, if it didn't contradict an ancient compilation of books written over hundreds of years by dozens of tremendously ignorant people who couldn't agree on much of anything.

why hasn't science investigated the Bible? Oh, they have, and cannot disprove it as an ecumenical document.

The miracles refute themselves. I know archaeology has shown that there's very little evidence for Exodus.

If your faith is science, be assured it will change. In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

If god said in the bible that the Old World continents were the only land masses on the planet, there would be millions of American Christians today inisting that North America was in fact Asia, or that it was created by the devil to fool us, or that the original passage was true but only in a metaphorical sense, etc. Anything but accept the fact that what their religion told them was wrong. Fortunately, science doesn't work that way.

Come onboard and Christ will save you!

If the only way to the father is through Jesus, why would he appear in 1st century Palestine and nowhere else? Did god think all the Asians, Africans, Australians and Americans should wait 1500 years for even a chance at salvation?

And how's that apocalypse coming along? Jesus spoke about it as if it was just around the corner. Strange that it's 2000 years later and it still hasn't arrived.
