Maybe the sediments, in this case,don't have the same characteristics as you know them or expect them to be. I don't know and it doesn't matter. God's Word is true whether or not proof is found or not.

If that's what you believe, fair enough. I don't, as I see the Bible as a mixture of myths, human stories and historical events written down by people. I don't believe for one moment that it's God's word at all.

...I see the Bible as a mixture of myths, human stories and historical events written down by people.

Fair enough. One time I didn't even have those thoughts, I just ignored it. For I knew I was living a good life and had no need to know what was written - it didn't affect me. Then I was introduced to the prophesy part and that was an eye opener. At that part I heard what you state. Not being one who listens to man, I started to find out for myself.

I found out I'm not the great person that I thought I was - I'm a sinner like everyone else. Without going into every facet, one thing is for sure, our life here is not where it's at. Comparing our 10, 50, or 90 years here to eternity - shows where our emphasis should be. Our spirit never dies - it lives somewhere forever.

"The world" doesn't have a hold on me and my thinking - and it's because truth does free us from what they want us to believe. The Bible is God inspired Word because no man could possess or express the Truths contained within. God has always used man to fulfill His will and still does.

Before my adventure, I thought life was great in spite of it's ups and downs; but, did feel 'something' was missing - never thought it was 'Truth'. I stumbled across it while looking for something else. Now I know what 'great' and 'free' really means and how 'my' truths were not truths at all - just warm fuzzy thinking to satisfy myself. All the best..
