I think that a lot of you should read the book the Case for Christ. It explains a lot of this stuff very thoroughly rather than on mere hearsay. The author Lee Strobel wasn't a Christian at the time he started questioning the Bible. His wife had become a Christian and because of that he set out to disprove the Bible. He talks to a lot of different professors using his journalistic skills to ask some of the hardest questions. True these professors are usually Christian, but why would you ask an atheist to prove the validity of the Bible? If he has a problem with the Bible like if he thinks it's contradictory, he'll pull out a Bible himself and show it to the professor. You may have reasons for why you don't believe the Bible, but you rarely ever read it. So your answers are usually based on what other people say. I may be a Christian, but I have heard arguments for evolution and even chose to watch a YouTube video about evolution. After watching it there are two major questions that remain unanswered. How do you get from something that's nonliving to something that's living and how do you get from something less complex to something more complex? Sure they may explain how an animal might lose it's legs or how you can get from a wolf to a Chihuahua. But isn't that getting less complex not more? Especially since you can get from a wolf to a Chihuahua, but you can't get from a Chihuahua to a wolf. Or perhaps major changes do occur, but it was already programmed into the genetics. Almost like using a key to unlock a door, but the door didn't make itself.
