So the Bible doesn't know then.

The Bible is text - it doesn't "know" anything. It only
contains the
information the writers put there.

So as I originally said, they are just unprovable stories.

Q: Do you think that someone who loves someone else would show
the
person they love patience?

Non sequitor.


It's a valid question. If you agree that a loving person shows
patience, then you've contradicted your statement that the Bible
text is
just 'unprovable stories'.


I didn't say that, the OP did.

I didn't say you did. You could have still answered the simple
question. Your response was noted as avoidance.

I don't know whether your hypothetical person would show patience or
not, and I don't see how that would make any of the stories in the
bible
provable.

The Sermon on the Mount.


Hmm! Here's the Adultery waffle from that sermon:

Adultery
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit
adultery.’[e]
28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has
already
committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes
you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for
you to
lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into
hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and
throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than
for your whole body to go into hell.

Sorry, but..... a big LOL.


You do realize that the text is a moral teaching - not literal, right?


Ok, explain what all that means!


Adultery begins in the heart of a person. It's better to reject it with
extreme prejudice than to allow adultery to live out in someone's life
and end up having to suffer the consequences.

It's the brain that controls lust/attraction/libido/love and all of the
other senses. The heart is just to pump the blood to the body and the
brain. The body is just a very clever machine that has evolved from
lesser forms. Archeologists can show you the development of how the
human body and brain has evolved from primitive forms over millions of
years. The first humans had totally different shaped heads and much
hairier bodys and more muscley etc.


There is no proof that humans descended from anything but other humans,
so what you're saying is you believe what other people have taught and
told you to believe. How is that not faith?

How Do We Know Humans Are Primates?

"Besides similar anatomy and behavior, there is DNA evidence. It
confirms that humans are primates and that modern humans and chimpanzees
diverged from a common ancestor between 8 and 6 million years ago. There
is only about a 1.2 percent genetic difference between modern humans and
chimpanzees throughout much of their genetic code".
