The secrets of the universe are hidden in the Bible.
Like who made the world? Why do things happen?
Who said the someone "made" the world? Maybe someone has, maybe not.
Why do things happen? What do you mean...why? You mean what the purpose is? Who told you there is an objective purpose in anything?
You see, the bible just pulls sort of an explanation for everything out of its ass which has no way to be verified in any way at all.
The bible explains things we dont understand with other things we do not understand just to be able to claim:
"We know it."
The reason why we as humans evolved so fast from cavemen to rocket scientists is basically just because we learned to except a few simple words:
"I don't know".
I am sure you have of course heard of theories like the big bang theory or the theory of relativity by Einstein.
Both are not proven to be right in the sense of 100% undeniably true.
They are "just" theories, as the name would suggest. Bit what is a theory? Fairy Tales? Bullshit? A Hoax?
Nope. A theory is a pretty strong argument. Its very far away from Fairy Tales. It means that those things can be explained on a theoretical level. Not proven. But there is a recreational scientifically understandable path that leads to those explanations and thats why those are taken serious on a scientific level. In other words: Those things could be true on a verifiable, understandable scale.
Might still not be true, but certainly could to be true - and is even pretty likely to be true in a lot of cases - based on what we know today.
The claims of the bible are not even close to being called a theory. Its just stories. Stories are far from anything we would ever seriously consider to be true.
Religion is sort of the exception to that rule, its the only fairy tale believed by millions of people without evidence and the reason is wishful thinking and upbringing over dozens of generations.
People hope and therefor in many cases even force themselves to believe that their own Religion is the true one because they are often raised in a certain way.
They are not able to find sense and purpose within their own lives without guidance from that wished and hoped outside omnipotent force. They wish for an eternal existence in eternal happiness. No one wants to die, no one wants to be erased out of existence, I understand that.
But all those wishes dont make god anymore true. It think god is nothing more than a very comforting thought.
