And there is not ( 1 ) problem that we can encounter as a human that the Bible cannot help us with.
Show me where in the bible it says how to deal with cancer.
Show me where it explains how to deflect an incoming asteroid.
Predict an earthquake
Or where it tells us whether or not P=nP
The bible lies, is contradictory, and wrong.
And has been shown to be so many many times.
The Jews who have the same old testament as their holy book read
different although overlapping passages as their Messianic Prophecies
And most of them are so vague as to be able to mean almost anything.
And even if it were true, the people who wrote the new testament knew the
prophecies and could have easily bent the story to fit them, so even if
it says JC filled the prophecies exactly it still wouldn't prove anything.
Ditto about 'lying about the past'... So the people who lived back then
wrote accurately about what was going on at the time and told tales set
in real places.... (which isn't a given)
That doesn't prove that the tales are true, or the miracles are real.
The great flood never happened. and could never have happened.
And all the known species of animal that couldn't have survived it
would never have fit in a boat the size specified.
And Noah couldn't have travelled the entire width and breadth of the world to
collect all of them.
Humanity is vastly older than the bible states.
The bible thinks the world is flat.
The list goes on and on.
Have a look here for more details.
