Then what was the first man to create a flint tool... an engineer? Like learning to tame fire (not just find it but produce it) it was a scientific discovery.
How do you define Christian? People who literally believe in... or anyone raised "in a Christian household"?
As for the flood it happened. Most likely it is the flooding of the Black Sea by the Mediterranean. To the ancients living there that was pretty much the entire world. The story was then passed down through oral tradition for many centuries... probably embellished more by each generation until...

Call them what you want...I don't care.

Still not answering the question:
Do you believe your bible displays an accurate reality?

I believe the bible displays an accurate 'metaphysical' reality.

After all it is called the "holy" bible.

something you would not understand...but you asked.

no but his followers must've heard voices in their heads telling them 72 virgins are worth killing enemies in his name.

People's attempts to justify their own hatred take many forms.

Never really seen Allah kill anyone...have you?

God IS Allah and Allah is God...they are the same deity. He is the progenitor of the Judeo-Christian-Muslim religions.

Objective reality in a subjective world, is a lot harder than one thinks..lol

In other words, you actually prefer to make it all up as you go along instead of learning anything.

So you believe the Bible display a reality that is:'without material form or substance' and/or:'highly abstract and overly theoretical', which can mean:'Concerned primarily with theories or hypotheses rather than practical considerations.

All of that just means...it's full of crap.

There is no such thing as making it up. It's all interpretations. We choose to believe what makes sense to us because we want to fit in.
