Hi Jay,
I have had the same doubts too but keep searching and you will find.
On the creation story....one of the hardest things for me to believe this part was because all of the "evidence" to the contrary...evolution, big bang etc...
But I have read alot and found numerous holes in those theories.
I recommend Darwin's Black Box by Michael J. Behe
It virtually proves (scientifically) that these theories are not correct.
Archeologically speaking they are finding stuff everyday that is direct proof to exactly what the bible says, just do some google searches, your bound to find plenty.
I remember reading an article the last few weeks(cant remember the link)
where M.I.T recently did a study and found that everyone living today can be linked to a single ancestor between 4-8000 years ago. Coincidence? I think not.
One of the biggest thing for me to believe the bible was prophecy.
After reading prophecy after prophecy ( among other things), I remember thinking...man this is unreal, Only God could know this(for example, predicting the exact year Israel would become a country again after 1500+ years
http://100prophecies.org/ another site which helped me is
http://www.raptureready.com) there is just too much evidence that the bible is true, I mean yea i didnt know much about most of the bible stuff but every question I had I eventually got an answer for.
quote by jay 7 " i know it has so many truhts and facts in it, but are we sure this whole thing could be true?"
I believe we will never know everything but after so much evidence I just
started to believe what God says in faith.
I remember another story I read about scientists faking one of the links in human evolution. They took a pigs head or something like that and manipulated it to look like A missing link(not THE missing link).
This was like in 1960 I believe, like 30 years later the confessed they did this for fame or something like that.
I dont remember that site but could find it if anyone wants it.
Just imagine what has been faked that we dont know about.
ROMANS
3:4God forbid: yea,
let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
When it comes to reading the bible i agree with irq conflict.
Pray for wisdom to understand and do some searches.
Remember also, you
might be just a "babe" and are not given the wisdom to
understand the "meat" yet
1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
Hebrews 5:14But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Just keep at it, pray and read the bible
