Hello everyone, a few of you may know I touched on this idea in my introduction in the lounge, it is currently a sticky…I feel so special But I now know that isn’t the place to discuss such things. This is the first time I have actually posted an argument against the divinity of the Bible for all the world to see so I would appreciate it if everyone, Christians and non-Christians alike, would critique it.

Christianity is based on the premise that the Bible is the “Word of God�. By definition their God is perfect, without fault. Such a God could, of course, accomplish anything he did perfectly. If the Bible were truly the work of a PERFECT being, like Christians believe, than it would leave NO room for debate. If he is perfect in every way then it stands to reason that he would also be the perfect debater. Such a being could postulate an argument that would be so absolutely convincing that everyone on the planet that read it would say “Wow, there is no countering that.� It would be even more convincing than our evidence that the earth is round and that 1+1=2.

In my opinion, the simple fact that so many of us have read it and are NOT convinced is proof in itself that it is not the work of a perfect being. Even a being such as “Satan� would be able to give us a way of poking holes into an argument postulated by a perfect being such as God. So in essence, the mere fact that we are all here debating the validity of the Bible is proof in itself that it is not the word of any perfect being.

I know it is simplistic. I envy the way many of you articulate your ideas so I would appreciate any input. Thanks!

Why not? Maybe the perfection is in the beauty of chaos. The only fact, here, is that if God exists, we are in no position to understand his behavior.

Is chaos necessarily beautiful? Is chaos perfect, imperfect, or neither?
Can anything be perfectly imperfect?--and does that destroy the whole concept of "perfection"?
