the Bible the Myth

'The bible was originally an oral tradition. The people of the time didn't know how to read or write. so the bible was compiled over time only by mouth than put to paper once the written language came about. It was a moral guide for the illiterate masses of the time. the people would gather and listen to the preachers preach. 'Preaching isn't the Bible. Preaching is preaching. The Bible is the written word. Also, here (. http://www.truthnet.org...) shows that there was indeed writing in the times before the Bible was completely compiled, therefore written evidence of the occurences in the Bible. 'It taught them what was right and wrong. Again most couldn't read and there knowledge minimum. It was a moral path for them,then. 'Again, I agree that the Bible offers a moral pathway, but I already proved that there was truth within the words of the Bible so this only supports my case, saying that the morality of the Bible, the Bible itself, is ever-present in today's society, such as in the government. 'Thanks for the ref. They only show that maybe somewhere in that book there might of got somethings right. Should we base our morals on this and our country our species survival. On a book for that last 2000 years can be dwindled down to a few scriptures that may be true. Most fairy tales have truth in them. 'My previous reference proves that in the Bible are supportings of scientific facts that have been proven in the last one-hundred years or so, so this point is void. 'Even if i believe that jesus was a real person and he was documented at the time dose not prove that he is the son of god or that his teachings are moral. I cant site wiki as truth. 'Regardless of whether or not Jesus is proven as Son of God, documentation of his existence disproves the Bible being a myth. Jesus's existence disproves the theory that the Bible itself is mythology. 'Again "It is the moral code of conduct of the time" the ten commandments would need a great over haul to meet today's standards. Here i can only let Christopher Hitchens explain. 'The standards of today are references of the Ten Commandments. Please offer textual evidence. Sorry but my opponent did not prove the bible is not myth only that it may contain some truth only if you look really hard. But all myths have some truth they all have a base from witch it gets its form. There is a difference between saying I offered no evidence that the Bible was not a myth and proving that I offered no evidence of the Bible's not being a myth. Myth: a traditional or legendary story, usually concerning some being or hero or event, with or without a determinable basis of fact or a natural explanation, especially one that is concerned with deities or demigods and explains some practice, rite, or phenomenon of nature. Seeing as the Bible explains the natural phenomenoms of evolution and water cycles truthfully and has fact within it, the Bible cannot be considered a myth. 'My opponent speaks as if this book is one book of truth. it is a combination of many books that mostly contradict themselves. Written all at different times and then combined , by popular vote, make the bible. These are oral traditions pass down over hundreds of years and revised once written to fit the masses. I am surprised to find any truth at all. 'While my opponent says the Bible contradicts itself, he fails to provide instances or evidence of contradictions within it. I also already provided evidence that there were written records during the times of the Bible. 'Sorry for the lack of quotes or ref. i dont use much as i tend to take from the books ive read on this subject, bible,torah,quran, book of mormon,mahabharata,book of enoch,these are my ref. unless i quote or put in videos. 'Again, please provide written, textual evidence. A video is not something I have access to at the time.
