    Modern science now forces me to view the Book of Leviticus as the science Book our Intelligent Designer wrote it as and not the unscientific religious Book mankind mistranslated it into. I discovered that the clean and unclean food and hygiene laws established over 3500 years ago in the Book of Leviticus have been based all this time on someone's working knowledge of the germ theory of disease and the modern human body and other advanced fields of science unknown to mankind at that time and some fields of science still unknown to mankind today. My discovery now proves the existence of a Intelligent Designer that knew these fields of science long before mankind learned of them. My discovery also brings to light mankind's misinterpretation of this scripture and giving them the unscientific religious interpretations we still think they mean today due to our lack of scientific knowledge to properly interpret what is written.

    Is the Bible a book of human wisdom, myths and legends or the word of God - let's see what it claims: a snake talked, a bush talked, a mule talked, a virgin gave birth, a man had strength in his hair, bats are birds, insects have 4 legs, the earth is flat, there was a 7-headed dragon and a man lived in a fish for 3 days.

    I'm going to go with myths and legends, and little if any human wisdom.

    It is a laymans look at the development of culture and religion.

    Several legends and myths from other religions are mixed in. This isn't strange, since the Israelites had been in Egypt all those years, and so exposed to other religions. Ur had another set of myths and Gods, and well, they had lots of different influences on their culture.

    Then in the New testament, Paul brings even more pagan influences to what he teaches.

    God does not write on paper or stone, therefore the entire Bible is not the Word of God. THE WHEAT AND THE TARES ARE THERE TOGETHER. Only a true SERVANT can distinguish the difference. However, God's Word is more prevalent in the Bible than any other scripture.

    The Bible is the Words of GOD! Look at how every line of History in the Bible has at least three different places with Records confirming them! Some parts Like Adam and Eve also Noah's Ark, records have been found in nearly 250 places/countries each!

    Plus as of a decade ago 87% of all the predictions in the Bible had happened, 100% confirmed facts!

    The fact of the matter, it is a book of God words, that is why it is a living, breathing book of God, as it is written in God word the bible, it is a Saviour of life unto life or it is a Saviour of death unto death, as it is written in God word the bible Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper then any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. The bible can either save you or it can kill you depending on how you view God word the bible.

    2 Timothy 3:16 says "all scripture is inspired of God, 2 Peter 1:21 says" man spoke from God" 1 Thessalonians 2:13 says" the word of word".The greatest proof that the bible is Gods word is the fulfillment of bible prophecy..

    A person can better know the true meanings of stories from the Bible if he or she meditates on them while saying Hail Marys with care.
