I put forth the same question to you. There is a degree of trust. The bible (and I'm talking about a real bible) excludes this because it does not contradict itself.

Goto the library and checkout any book you like written by man...you find contradictions easily. The bible (a real bible) does not have contradictions...man is full of contradictions...he "moves with the wind". Man could not write a 1000+ page book without contradictions.

Other than the bible, there is a degree of trust. The media cannot be trusted..they have lied and lied and lied over the span of more than 50 years.

With advanced CGI, and actors willing to sell their mother for $$$ (money is the root of all evil)....how much of the trust are you willing to give?
