Nah, the bible is not verified. It is clear that neither exodus nor the flood happened, for two examples among many. It's just a collection of folk tales and tribal and religious propaganda.
I have evidence for my parents: gods, not so much.
I think the phrase "hook, line and sinker" is appropriate to your post.
I am not really surprised. That is the viewpoint of many nowadays. Still, so many of those who say this have not gone searching to verify their disbeliefs, and many of the same people are happy to believe palm-reading, horoscopes, etc. Many of the same people believe things that are off the charts vis-a-vis the Biblical teachings.
We have a Big Bang teaching where a mysterious singularity inflates (explodes). Black holes do not explode; have never done so in any observed manner. This inflation / explosion should have caused equal amounts of matter and anti-matter to come to be, which should have cancelled each other out and left us with a big fat Zero. Next, this inflation, that couldn't happen, created a universe of orderly galaxies, solar systems, - without any assistance, no causality at all in effect. Order in itself is information; thus, the Big Bang as it has come to be was not just a matter creation, it was also an information creation epoch, again without causality. Finally, all the ecosystems that worked perfectly until human intervention, with all their complex lifeforms - just up and popped into existence, order, information, energy all without causality. And, to top it off, our human brains, the most complex mechanism we know of - also just came to be, no cause, all effect. Yes, indeed, you are right - "hook, line and sinker" is appropriate. There really is no bridging of our disparity in beliefs.
Have a nice day. I may just leave my dirty dishes for a few years to see if they might evolve themselves clean. Folk tales, modern ones are quite hilarious.
