There are none in your post. And even if there is "science" in the Bible, that doesn't make the stories any less fictional.

Read my post AFTER the one you used; I was typing in the dot-points and you commented before I got them in the text.
By the way, I'm not arguing with the fact that the events of the bible lack enough evidence for all to believe what happened. Plus, like any story, the stories got told many times before someone wrote them down for documentation ... the parameters of the stories got skewed for sure.
The Bible is a book built on FAITH not scientific facts.

Well, your first point is erroneous. The Greeks knew the Earth was round in the 5th century BCE and was proven in the 3rd century BCE.
My only point is that science was not a well-developed discipline back when the books of the bible were being written.
Do you believe that Jesus existed in the Bible?
Not necessarily erroneous ... Book of Isaiah, from a prophet of the southern kingdom wrote his book with the people in 740 B.C.-- the year that King Uzziah died.
"First Isaiah contains the words and prophecies of Isaiah, a most important 8th-century BCE prophet of Judah, written either by himself or his contemporary followers in Jerusalem (from c. 740 to 700 BCE), along with some later additions, such as chapters 24–27 and 33–39. The first of these two additions was probably written by a later disciple or disciples of Isaiah about 500 BCE; the second addition is divided into two sections—chapters 33–35, written during or after the exile to Babylon in 586 BCE, and chapters 36–39, which drew from the source used by the Deuteronomic historian in II Kings, chapters 18–19. The second major section of Isaiah, which may be designated Second Isaiah even though it has been divided because of chronology into Deutero-Isaiah and Trito-Isaiah, was written by members of the “school” of Isaiah in Babylon: chapters 40–55 were written prior to and after the conquest of Babylon in 539 by the Persian king Cyrus II the Great, and chapters 56–66 were composed after the return from the Babylonian Exile in 538. The canonical Book of Isaiah, after editorial redaction, probably assumed its present form during the 4th century BCE"First Isaiah contains the words and prophecies of Isaiah, a most important 8th-century BCE prophet of Judah, written either by himself or his contemporary followers in Jerusalem (from c. 740 to 700 BCE), along with some later additions, such as chapters 24–27 and 33–39.

No. There is minimal evidence for his existence.
Just as you do with politics, you're reading into Isaiah what you want to hear. Depending on the translation it says something about the circle of the Earth. Note it doesn't say the sphere of the Earth. A common belief at the time was the Earth was a a land mass floating on a sea covered by a dome of the heavens.
Of course the bible didn't say circle....shockingly, they didn't speak English back then. The actual word used was חוּג which has been translated as vault, circle or arch...probably others as well.
Of course ole Isaiah also spoke of the four corners of the Earth....so why don't you think he believed the Earth a flat square...or a cube if Isaiah were so narrow minded to only look at his face of the cube.
Your claim that man didn't discover the Earth being a sphere until the 15th century is ridiculous. You REALLY shouldn't try to talk of science...you routinely demonstrate your ignorance. Pythagoras believed the Earth was a sphere in 500 BC. Aristotle wrote of the spherical Earth in his book, On the Heavens in 350 BC. Eratosthenes actually measured the diameter of the Earth in 240 BC, and his measurement was within about 15% of the correct value we know today.

Actually, when the books of the bible were written there were people who were quite disciplined in their practice of scientific methods., e.g. Eratosthenes measuring the diameter of Earth's sphere. At the same time there were many who wanted to just believe the universe was made and actively controlled by fairy tales, pixy dust or unicorn farts.
Sadly times haven't changed that much in the last 2 or 3k years.
Why would you?
Yes. You have complained about gays over and over, yet you are here in a very niche' site. This is particularly about black cocks going into non-black women, and maybe getting you wife some black cock.
Everything else you say you come here for is a lie. Maybe you are unaware but there are websites like p__h_b and xham___ that offer 1000 times the pictures and videos that are here. So why here? You don't even have a wife, so it's just you.
I think we know
You're offended by swearing, on a site where there is hardcore sex?? Wow.

no books in the old testament or the new were written in 200AD (when erosthanes was alive)
old testament was written between 1500BC and 400BC, new testament was written between 50AD and 100AD

Then you most definitely can't believe in God.
History mentions Jesus in several sources of history ... Roman & Jewish history, in Judiaism history the "Jewish Aniquities" around AD 90, and the Apostle Paul around AD 50-55.
In the Roman history of Pontius Pilate, it was mentioned of Jesus' execution around the same time frame of the Christian documents that mentioned Jesus.
All these writings, however, presented Jesus as just a man, like everyone else, but devoted to the Christian "words".
And there are artifacts such as his shroud & the tomb he was laid in. When Jesus arose from the dead & transcended into heaven, some believed Jesus was not dead, but recovered and was avoiding being seen by his enemies. And, very little is mentioned of Jesus growing up ... The Bible simply says that as a boy “Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men” (Luke 2:52).
Was Jesus the S.on Of God ... again "believing required". Still, the physical man, "Jesus" was written about in several sources. So I have no doubt, myself, that Jesus the man did live in religious history.
If you can't believe that part then there's no chance of you ever being a Christian and your soul going to heaven, as the bible teaches. Its all based upon "belief" of "God, the S.on, and the Holy Ghost"... which you must believe.
