    Your ball of energy would have had to existed that way for eternity (the difference between eternity and a point in time is still eternity) and then picked that single moment to explode. Not likely.

    There was no time until the "Big Bang". Just like God, that singularity existed outside space and time.
    Just like God, it always was.

    Yep, those are some of the things that science still has to explain, we can form the amino acids that form the basics of the cell, and we can explain how one cell grew and evolved, but we don’t know what caused it to start dividing, or how that first single cell came to be. But what would have gotten me to believe in the Bible is if it had said something about cells, or DNA, or anything that the people back then couldn't have POSSIBLY have know about. But it doesn’t.

    No, but consider the authors and the circumstances surrounding them. More importantly, consider the purpose of the Bible itself. The reason those books and letters were written wasn't to be an A to Z encyclopedia of creation. The primary purpose of the books of the Bible is to reveal God Himself -- His character, His identity, and most importantly what He wants for humanity.

    In all seriousness hasbeen99, and I hope it isn't seen as blasphemy, but if that is the purpose of the Bible, then are we as a society ready (perhaps even deserving) for "version 2.0", or are we just petulant little brats who overestimate our understanding of our world and God's mystery?

    So, the Bible is only meant to reveal God, but not provide any solid proof, then what makes it anymore valid that any of the other religions? Or those stories indians tell about a great big turtle creating the earth?

    The bible isn't more valid than any other religious text.
