If some martyr had 12 followers make up a bunch of mumbo-jumbo and stick it on the end of a previous religious book, few if any of the people who believed it would examine it closely and look for falseness, but would instead follow it blindly.

If someone came up with a new theory for the universe, everyone (even those who believed it) would examine it closely and look for falseness, and until everyone had proven (as far as any are able to tell) that it is true, then it is still considered an educated guess.

What things have disproved the Bible? What things have been false?
I am one who doesn't take things like that lightly. I have never found anything wrong.

Guess what? NOTHING CAN BE PROVEN! We can't be sure of anything. Anything at all.

Chardish, congrats on being one of the few people who is right.
