Can you verify, please? Where are the historical sources that confirm Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Leviticus or Deuteronomy? Or any other other books? What of a god who sent a bear to eat kids who mocked a bald man? What of Jonah's time living happily in the whale? What about Joshua bidding the sun to stand still? Which parts are true?

Moses was hardly ignorant, and certainly not near savage. The Pentetuch is among the greatest literary and legal documents of history. You have obviously never taken any time to understand the Bible's transmission and have no idea about the quality of the translations. As a student of both Greek and Hebrew I am quite certain that it is well translated. I hope that you spend a bit more time and energy on your science than you do your history.

Seriously? ” No fewer than 80 Old Testament prophecies predict with uncanny accuracy details of his 33 years here on earth. I believe him. So do millions more.”

The rationalist needs to consider more carefully what rationality is. Science doesn't correct mistakes. It more extends the senses. Our relationship to what we see will always be the issue. The stubborn creationist will get left behind if we can find the nuances in the science vs. religion debate.
