What mythical embellishments do you see in the Bible account? There are no rocks thrown turning into men, etc. I have found the Biblical account totally accurate and fits the evidence well. The embellishments of many legends are scientifically laughable.

Okay, why don't you run down to Sea World, let a whale swallow you, and see if you can live in there for 40 days. Don't forget to take notes. We'll wait.
Sure, because snakes can talk, seas can be parted and goat offspring can get stripes from looking at a striped pole uh huh. That must be the real and only truff, right?
Let's see...the firmament...man from dirt...an impossible construction of gopher wood with all the modern fauna crammed into it, floating on a deep nonexistent body of water...Yes, the embellishments of your legend are scientifically laughable.
Yep, the Bible is definitely mythical at all. The following are totally realistic:
-Talking snakes
-Woman turning to ash.
-Languages created by a falling tower
-Talking fiery topiary
-Man making a pathway through ocean.
-Guy killing a giant with a slingshot.
-Jeebus, fig tree destroyer, water walker, wine maker, bread maker, nine-lives possessor, pig banisher, and voodoo priest.
-Apostle being told that he doesn't need to keep kosher by Ghost Jeebus.
-Talking donkey.
-Angels almost raped, daughters offered instead.
-World floods 4000 years ago, entire world repopulated by occupants of one boat.
-Universe created in 6 days by Space Ghost, with said Ghost making plants and light before a sun and stars.
-People lived several centuries long way back in the olden days, dontcha know?
-God? In my virgin daughter? It's more likely than you think.
So, what is this evidence that the bibble fits?
I see no mythical embellishments in the Bible, it's just another fairy tale, like The Lord of the Rings or Pippi Long-stockings.
Thanks for opening my eyes, pauly.
i dont know about rocks into men, but i do know that in the bible a man is created from dust, a woman from his rib, some guy sees a bush that burns for a really long time and talks to him, water defies physics, a staff turns into a snake, impossibly large amounts of water come from nowhere and then go back to nowhere, a guy is super strong as long as he doesnt get a haircut, a woman turns into pure salt because she doesnt want to leave the home she had spent years helping to build, water turns to wine, someone walks on water, and massive earthquakes occur on the day that jesus dies on the cross. earthquakes with enough power to rend the land, but for some reason the city isnt leveled and nobody is too busy dealing with the MASSIVE FUCKING EARTHQUAKE to give the poor lost savior a proper funeral.
speaking of that earthquake, where is its historical documentation again?
anywho, obviously none of those stories are embellished. must be completely accurate.
Confused?
