The Nova series on some of the history of the books of the Bible has been interesting.  Until 6 AD, the world worshiped many Gods.  But after the death of Jesus, the world adopted the Jewish model of One God. A supreme creator.  A God that we are responsible to.  A God that expects something from us in the form of a response.  Polytheism no longer rules the minds of men.

It is either "Yes."  Or, "No."  Concerning the existence of God.  There are no other answers.  This is what makes the Bible such a powerful book.  It traces the history of a group that first accepted the idea of "One God."  The children of Abraham.  Who gave birth to the Israelites.  It is one of the oldest chronicles of a nation of people on record.  We compare all AD and BC writings against it  because it has proved so marvelously accurate.

Over and over some archaeologist will make a discovery that they think disproves some story in the Bible only to have to retract, and declare the Biblical account accurate.  The more they dig, the more  they find that the Bible is true.  This book on which we base our faith is a road map to history.

I believe the Bible is completely accurate in its message.  You may want to dicker over a "thee or thou", but the message is true.

There are a number of Sunday night programs on right now concerning the Bible and the life of Christ.  I have found them interesting, in that they are not "hokey" like so many Bible documentaries are.  And so far they have been fairly accurate.

Maybe the world will take note of the accuracy of the Biblical account of a man named Jesus.  Maybe the world will  take note of all of the new scientific evidence being found archeologically that proves the truth of the Biblical record.  That would be refreshing for a change.
