But the bible isn't fact; it is human superstition at best. You can't justify or support any stance with the bible. You can't support for the evidence for God or a soul using the bible. There is no evidence of anything divine; unless you think humans authors living 2000 years ago were somehow divine.

Perhaps a more logical answer is that they were less advanced and tried to tackle some hard topics.

This is a perfect example of how religion creates liars (who don't even think they are liars). Tearing at the fabric of reality.

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.

All you are giving is your opinion, no evidence. The bible is a history book and has never been proven unfactual in it's account of the history contained there in. You cannot deny that.

Oh good grief!
SOME aspects, HISTORICAL aspects and not SUPERNATURAL aspects have never been confirmed.

People have tried to confirm the supernatural claims and come up flat every time.
Like the claim of the creation of the universe. The book gives a specific time-line which spells out the age of the earth, but that has been proven inaccurate on a grand scale.
The "Great Flood". Another issue where people have tried to prove it existed, and yet come away admitting there is NO evidence of it ever occurring.
The Bible's claim that the sun was halted over the earth to aid the Jews in a battle. AGAIN attempts to prove this biblical claim, but NO evidence can be found.
If you mathematically (using ALL aspects of history) try to trace the population growth of man, you'll realize that the bible's claim of the age of the earth is grossly inaccurate. (Point #13)

Nothing divine has ever been proven using the bible. If the bible was a history book it would be located in the history section of your local bookstore.

I think it is sad that you have that much faith in your fellow human of over 2000 years to dictate your whole belief system when you don't seem to trust them today in modern times. It is such action that is tearing apart the moral fabric of the world.
