Because it goes against their story books...

And to the person who said "everything in the koran is 100% backed up by science", do you mean things like the winged horse or the bit when god takes mohammed to the "pit where the sun sets"? Hilarious! You're also talking nonsense when you say the koran describes the early stages of an embryo or anything like that. None of these 'holy' books contains ANYTHING that wasn't known by people of the time. Get a grip and try to experience reality.

Introduction:

1. We are Bible Christians, which means we follow the Bible’s record of Jesus Christ and His teachings. Our

religion is simple – it is nothing more and nothing less than following Jesus Christ according to the Bible.

We believe God wrote the Bible to reveal Himself, His Son Jesus Christ, the truth about the universe and

His religion, and everything we need to know to live successful lives in this world and the world to come.

2. We do not base our Christianity on tradition, history, creeds, commentaries, popular opinion, a national

religion, denominational dictates, personal preferences, almanac distinctions, our culture, or anything else.

We cannot call ourselves Christians without establishing the authority of the Bible, for it is in the Bible we

learn about the man Jesus Christ and the form of religion that we observe in a New Testament church.

Apart from the Bible we have no true knowledge of Jesus Christ or understanding of the proper worship of

God, for we are truly bound by this written revelation from God for all we know and do in a religious way.

3. We can and should put our faith to the test, for the vast majority of the human race have spent their lives

believing numerous lies on many subjects. Putting our religion to the test is not only wise, but the Bible

commands it (I Thessalonians 5:21; Acts 17:11; Isaiah 41:21; I John 4:1; Revelation 2:2; Matthew 7:15-20).

4. God’s existence is obvious by the natural creation and our ability to recognize it, and to deny this is to place

one’s self outside the realm of reasonable discussion (Psalm 14:1-4; 19:1-3; Prov 9:10; Eccl 12:13; Romans

1:19-21; Acts 17:24; II Thess 3:2). No one in the Bible ever worried about those who rejected the existence

of God, and neither will we. Such fools will meet Him soon enough, and they will be without excuse, for

the natural creation is more than sufficient. While this presumption is not the objective of our study, we will

nevertheless prove it absolutely true, if we are able to prove that the Bible is His Word to man.

5. It is not enough to know the existence of God, either by the natural creation or by internal witness, for we

can only acquire the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His teachings from the Bible; they are not revealed in

the natural creation, but by reading and teaching the Bible (John 5:39; I Tim 6:3-5; Rom 16:17-18,25-27).

6. It is only reasonable God would communicate with His creatures, so we also presume this matter to initiate

our examination of the Bible. When we wish to communicate as strongly as possible, we do so in writing

i.e. contracts, documents, letters, etc. The Bible admits this fact (II Peter 1:16-19; Esther 1:19; 3:9; 8:5,8).

If we prove that God wrote the Bible, then we will have also proven this assumption. If we cannot prove

God wrote the Bible or any other book, we must then determine if God did communicate to man.

7. But our two safe presumptions still leave us in this situation – one of the holy books in the earth is God’s

Word or none of them are – for they are all contradictory and violently opposed to one another. Is it

reasonable and right to trust the Bible, when there are so many other religious books in the world, like the

Koran, the Vita, Veda, the Talmud, Science and Health, and the Book of Mormon among many others? (If

you need to give these “holy books” a cursory examination, then please see the conclusion to this study.)

8. It is impossible to separate divine evidence from the need for faith, and we have no reason to do so. If a

person will not believe proof that God is the Author, he is unreasonable and without faith. The man not

born again cannot see the kingdom of God, for the natural man cannot receive the spiritual things of God:

they are foolish to him, for he cannot discern them. Natural arguments to prove spiritual truth to natural

men is the most futile objective in the universe, for God must first give life and light (Luke 16:31; John 3:3;

I Cor 2:14; Matt 7:6; Prov 14:7; II Thess 3:2; II Tim 2:24-26; II Cor 4:1-7; I Cor 1:18-24; I John 5:20

The bible is the most accurate ancient text. Has been proven numerous times to be historically accurate and never proven wrong.

The copies of texts are over 5000 and with an accuracy rate of 95-100%, is far more reliable than any other ancient writers such as caesar, euripidies, socrates etc.

Those other writers are accepted so logically you should accept the bible

You know .. theres allot of things the Qu'ran already publicized before scientists. Islam knew all about babies and precipitations and many more things. Pick on Christianity but I am 100% everything in the Qu'ran by god is backed up by science , there are somethings science just cant explain. ...in summary, the Qur'an describes not only the development of external form, but emphasises also the internal stages, the stages inside the embryo, of its creation and development, emphasising major events recognised by contemporary science.

Actually Im an atheist and I disagree. Religion has played a huge role in how modern society is shaped. Although science has made life much much better. Way better than religion ever has.

If God ever revealed Himself to you like He did to me and millions of other Christians, you would not ever say anything like that again.

I could care less about science. I have the Holy Spirit living inside my heart. He TESTIFIES that I am a child of God.

God opened my heart to this long before I opened my Bible to read it. When I begged Him for forgiveness, I felt His presence, and I had visions of Jesus. He revealed to me that I am, without a doubt, His child.

There is NOTHING that can be "proven" to make me think otherwise.

Why do you spend so much energy on trying to manipulate and abuse people on the internet to see life the way you see it?

You are not very old compaired to the world, yet you seem to think you know everything there is to know about it.

Perhaps you should keep such ideas in your head and not be seen as a fool.

What a question! Who says they don't? Some Christians are fully balanced in faith AND reason.
