Religiosity is systemic willful ignorance. Since philosophy is the love of wisdom, what should you call a religious belief system (like catholicism) that holds that eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge by Adam & Eve was the "original sin" (the worst possible transgression, so wrongful that it makes all subsequent humans guilty until proven innocent, deserving only of damnation, hellfire, and eternally painful suffering)? Simply put, religion is anti-philosophy, the root of all evil.
Nutters!

Also, if you believe the Bible the Universe is 10000 years old. Although there is an abundance of evidence that states it is in fact billions of years old.

There are lots of stories in the bible that have been supported in contemporary times by new archeological finds.

The Bible is the word of GOD. The people who wrote the Bibles were followers of God, apostles, disciples all people that God spoke to through Jesus. Yes some things in the Bible may seem wacko, but it all happend once, and the Bible tells us of the past, and the future. So dont you say that it is not the word of God.

my first argument to support this statement is the fact that none of the books of the bible even claim to be the word of god. they are title 'The gospel according to ????'.
Who is to say that the authors of these books are not corrupt people perpetuating a lie?

Why would you ask that question?
The folks who wrote those books did so as witnesses to history. In the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
