I'm not saying this study is 100% truth. It's just a study. But it's much more tangeable than anything in the bible, yet people believe that more. It doesn't make any sense.

People are arguing left and right about the credibility of this study. Yet offer no proof of the credibility of their own religion. Oh they use the "I believe" and I have faith" arguement. Believe in what? A book? I believe in something. I believe that books and writings and things have been passed on for many years. Hundreds maybe even thousands of years. Over that long of a time how can you believe in what has been passed on so much? It doesn't make any sense to believe in something that has changed hands so much and probably been altered just as many times.

Think back to the "time of jesus". They didn't have a good way of keeping records. So the stories were passed on and eventually written down. To me, it doesn't make a lick of sense to base ones life on a collection of stories that have absolutly no way of beeing proven or verified. Yet people find this study more hard to believe.
