The main reason why we know that the Genesis account is true is because God was seen traveling in the presense of Israel in the manifestation of a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. --A modern person would freak out and assummingly say, "It's a UFO!!" But God is not a UFO because God is identified!!

We know Genesis is true because characters in Genesis say they saw pillars of cloud and fire.
There are a couple of natural phenomena that would appear as a "pillar of fire."
Hm. The volcano idea is vaguely plausible, actually; the smoke and ash would be more noticeable by day, and the glowing lava at night.
Actually, nowhere is God identified as identical with either pillar. He is said to be within the pillar, to be the guide using the pillar, etc. but never to actually be the pillar.any depiction of the pillars.
So...we know the bible is true because the bible says its true.
Okay, anyone see the problem with this fellow's reasoning?
The story has value, culturally, it's a Jewish fable. Grimms collected tales are just as valid, just as likely and demand no adherance or belief.
It's not the cultural tales I object to, it's not even the belief of them, it's the hierarchy I object to. The assertive, controlling, demanding and parasitical nature of religion(s)
