[regarding literal veracity of the bible]

In your own life, you will notice things are true:

1. Pride comes before the fall. (Proverbs 11:2) Example: People (usually young people) will say something like, "I'm so good at this" and then trip. It's true throughout life. If you are prideful/boastful, you will be humbled.
2. Children look like their parents. (created in the image of their father)
3. Children are created, they do not evolve from another creature.
4. What you say directs the course of your life. (Proverbs 18:21 & James 3:6)
5. The sun, moon, and stars have been set in motion and follow a particular path and mark seasons (Genesis 1)
6. How you treat others comes back on you, whether good or bad.
7. We have free will but with our choices comes blessings or curses based on the laws that God has established.
Example: choose homosexuality or promiscuity and you will receive the curse of an unwanted pregnancy, STD, death. Cheat and lie, and you will be cheated and lied to.
8. Children are under the authority of their parents. A parents ungodly behavior can put their child's life at risk.
9. Those who seek God and strive to follow His ways are under His protection.

All of this is true and you can see it just by living your life. There's more.
