I guess this isn't a joke, but it's pretty funny by nature. Would be hillarious if after all these years the common accepted number changed.

nah, some twat picked up the bible then believed it, which is why we have mongo's now

atleast with that someone picked it up, seen it, laughed his ass off then threw it in the bin

only to be dug up and believed again by a people which are so so much more advanced

I doubt the creation of the bible was so simplistic. It was probably created as a means of control and a general guidline for society. all the "facts" in the bible were likely manufactured to make it more authentic.

I tend to think they were fables, or stories with morals handed down from family to family, since that was probably their main method of teaching such things to each other.

It might be possible that somebody went around the land collecting all kinds of fables and parables, and compiled them and gave them all the same main character; then went up on a mountain and claimed they were from god.

Perhaps, with religions you have to understand they were pretty much already established before the christian religion. So it's likely you're right in the fact they chose old fables or perhaps old religions there's a lot of similarity with sumarian texts and the modern bible which might be where it came from along with actual events that came from the sumarian texts like the great floods. There's evidence there were some major floods back in those day's and they were probably noted and catalogued in the form of old stories the eventualy turned into religious texts.

Yeah? I'm not following your stupidity here. Obviously if someone had to write it over time in the scenario I just mentioned retard. Holy fuck your dense.
