Evidence for the Creator: The Bible

Think about it. The very EXISTENCE of the Bible is compelling evidence for the Creator, Who has provided it as a guide.

Those who have drunk deeply from its pages acknowledge  Divine inspiration. Even skeptics cannot dismiss the significance and influence of the Holy Scriptures in the human experience. 

"For more than a thousand years the BIBLE, collectively taken, has gone hand in hand with civilization, science, law  --in short, with the moral and intellectual cultivation of the species, always supporting and often leading the way. ~Samuel Taylor Coleridge

66 books, written by disparate authors spanning millennia. The writers worked independently, obviously inspired by God, and assembled the greatest book in the history of humanity. 

"The BIBLE has been the Magna Charta of the poor and oppressed.  The human race is not in position to dispense with it" ~Thomas Huxley

It is not a science textbook, yet everything described in its pages are accurate, scientifically. It records, honestly and accurately, the history of the Jewish people, among others, that archeological discoveries have confirmed.

"The existence of the BIBLE, as a book for the people, is the greatest benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to belittle it is a crime against humanity" ~Immanuel Kant

No other book has had a more profound impact on humanity. It is loved, and hated. Few are neutral. Some read it daily, while others attack it viciously. It has been the worldwide best seller, of any book, since printing began. It has been translated in more languages than any other book.

"The BIBLE is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men -- It has God for its Author,  Salvation for its end, and Truth without any mixture for its matter.  --  It is all pure, all sincere; nothing too much;  nothing wanting" ~John Locke

The supernatural aura that surrounds the bible is unmistakable to a great many people, who have reaped untold benefit from its pages.  

And, the hostility, distortions, and lies hurled at the bible are testimony of its enduring Truth.

"Centuries of experience have tested the BIBLE.  It has passed through critical fires no other volume has suffered, and its spiritual truth has endured the flames and come out without so much as the smell of burning" ~W.E. Sangster

"The BIBLE is not merely a book;  it is a Living Being, with an action, a power, which invades everything that opposes its extension, behold!  It is upon this table:  This Book, surpassing all others; I never omit to read it, and every day with some pleasure" ~Napoleon

Learned, wise, and powerful characters in history give acclaim to this book, because it is no ordinary book. It is THE Book, and it will elevate anyone's knowledge to read it, and become conversant with its message. 

"A thorough understanding of the BIBLE is better than a college education" ~Theodore Roosevelt

"The BIBLE goes equally to the cottage of the peasant, and the palace of the king.  -- It is woven into literature, and colors the talk of the street.  The bark of the merchant cannot sail without it;  and no ship of war goes to the conflict but it is there.  It enters men's closets; directs their conduct, and mingles in all the grief and cheerfulness of life" ~Theodore Parker

For a simple object.. words on pages.. the significance of the Bible is compelling evidence that our Creator provided it for our learning and spiritual development. 

You can disbelieve it. You can mock it, or parrot lies about it. But the enemies of the bible die and are forgotten, while the Bible continues its life changing mission.

"The influence of the Bible is worldwide. Its mighty power has affected every department of human activity. The contents of the Scriptures have supplied themes for the greatest poets, artists and musicians which the world has yet produced, and have been the mightiest factor of all in shaping the moral progress of the race." ~Arthur Pink

I stand on the shoulders of giants. They say it better and more eloquently than i ever could. An objective, impartial examination of this Book leaves no doubt:

 The Bible is a Message from our Maker

"You Christians look after a document containing enough dynamite to blow all civilisation to pieces, turn the world upside down and bring peace to a battle-torn planet. But you treat it as though it is nothing more than a piece of literature." ~Mahatma Gandhi

"I will confess that the majesty of the Scriptures strikes me with admiration, as the purity of the gospel has its influence on my heart. Peruse the works of our philosophers, with all their pomp of diction: how contemptible are they, compared with the Scriptures! Is it possible that a book at once so simple and so sublime should be merely the work of man? Is it possible that the sacred personage whose name it records should be himself a mere man? What sweetness, what purity, in his manner! What sublimity in his maxims! What profound wisdom in his discourses! Where is the man, where the philosopher, who could so live and so die without weakness and without ostentation? If the life and death of Socrates were those of a sage, the life and death of Jesus were those of a God." ~Jean Jacques Rousseau.
