I expected something more than mild-suggestions that might come from interpretations due to language transcripts or editing that the text has suffered across the many many centuries,
The original transcripts are still available and they read the same. The bible has not changed so much from translation as people like to lead you to believe.
Oh it has changed quite a bit, there are idiomatic issues when translating the text to all languages and there are also a lots of edits and fixes made throughout the history, as expected on a very ancient text. The bible has changed more than people are lead to belive ;). Also lets assume for a second that the bible is exactly the same as written a long time ago, would that make it a prove of it's validity as an accurate text or about the existence of the judo-christian god? There is still a long way to prove that there is a god, and if there is one, that it is the judo-christian one.

Plus "suspended over empty space" is pretty specific. Sounds like orbit to me. Or at least an ignorant person's interpretation of what we now know is merely orbit.

Some of the points are definitely far fetched and I don't buy all of it, but interesting points and food for thought none the less. I will admit some of it is a stretch.
Another interesting point is that the "3 by 5 by 5" rule when building large waterships came from the story of Noah and the *very specific* instructions he was given to build the ark by, and alot of that is still followed to this day.
Again, not concrete evidence, but worth noting.
I would expect something more accurate of a knonw-all supreme being, also there is a post made earlier that actually contradicts those claims of the earth being round in the bible and so on. We can still debate what the bible says about this matter but that is only because the claims come from interpretations and not actually stated facts like I would expect of a holly book.
