I have the word of the Bible which via archeology has been proven to be accurate through related finds. So by my faith I believe the whole book.

It is a all or none thing.

Also I do not assert that you worship monkeys, I do not know who or what you worship, but I can tell by your professions here you do not believe in the one true God or you wouldnot doubt him.

BTW, If you say you are atheist doesn’t that in itself mean you have to belief in a God to say you do not believe in Him.

Via archeology, there has been no proof of several momentous occurrences in the Bible. The ones that come to mind are Moses and his follower's exodus from Egypt, the Roman taxation census, and the slaughter of innocents.

"Monkey worshiper" is one of the favorite epithets of creationists on FR for people who believe in evolution and a 4 billion year old Earth.

I do agree that atheism is a religion because. That's why I don't call myself one. I don't know either way if there is a God, but if there is, I doubt he takes an interest in my day to day life. If he is taking an interest in my life, I wish he would stop and spend more time with the poor, sick, and oppressed. If he solves those problems, then maybe he can take up an interest in the details of my everyday existence, of which most are completely inconsequential when compared to the troubles of a starving kid in India or a soldier in Iraq.

You're absolutely correct. However, the Bible also says that the hills are "ancient." See here for a more detailed explanation. There is nothing in Genesis to indicate that the universe is only 6,000 to 10,000 years old. It's a man-made construct and we can be better witnesses to the world by getting rid of this medieval belief. The Bible does not contradict science. All truth is God's truth.
