creep in. Unlike many on this list, I don't believe the Bible is either
infallible or inerrant. Certain parts presented as history obviously
cannot
be taken literally. Who's to say that any of it can be taken literally?
If
writers of some parts can present what is likely modified local myth in
the
guise of historical truth, why should I believe that writers of other
parts
aren't doing the same thing? Why should I even believe Jesus was a real
person? Where's the evidence?

May I suggest that you read Lee Strobel, _The Case for Christ: A
Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus_
(Zondervan, 1998)? I think Strobel wrote a later book whose name I do not
recall. I believe it also will be relevant to your questions.
