And just because there was volcanism of the Dead Sea region that destroyed a couple cities it doesn't mean there was a God behind it. Was God behind Katrina? The tsunamis? Earthquakes in the world today? No. What happened was a catastrophe that ancient people couldn't explain that was attributed to God. It's like the volcanos throughout the Pacific islands that islanders attributed to a god. They threw virgins into volcanos to appease this god.
God didn't create the world in six days, nor did God make Eve from a rib, there wasn't even an Adam. You won't find God parting the red sea nor will you find Jesus rising from the dead, if he existed at all. Most likely he was a radical rabbi that was executed for blasphemy and treason against Rome.
The Bible presents a mythological interpretation of historical events. That's all. It's a story book from an ancient religion no different than any other religious book.

Here is an excellent example of the fruit of evolutionary thinking. If you can't believe what the Bible says how can you believe it's message? I firmly believe in what the Bible says. I believe that one day so call "science" will be shown to be false and God's Word true to it's natural reading.
