even more incredible is that after 2,500 years, the entire Western and Middle Eastern world still continues to be obsessed with and believe in this God these ancient Jewish storytellers dreamed up. the Bible locked itself in to a creation date of 6,000 years ago, while science has proven that the universe is 12 BILLION years old - Jews are smart, they won't take the bait and get into any debates, the real dumb Christians though do all the time and make complete fools of themselves in hopeless attempts to convince themselves that anything science discovers or proves about the cosmos doesn't make the Bible any less the truth, 'it all fits together brother, intelligent design' - of course it's total bullshit but for many it allows them to hang on to something they need in their lives.
