The Bible Tells Us When A Fetus Becomes A Living Being

31. And while Biblical scholars disagree about when the various parts of the Bible were written,

the basis for the evangelical religion is the New Testament, none of which was written contemporaneously while Jesus was living and his words could be recorded and quoted. At the earliest, books in the New Testament have been dated to having been written 50-60 years AD. I remember a lot from 50 years ago, but there is no way I could accurately quote statements I heard from then, which the Bible purports to do. While religious scholars would say that the words of the Bible were from divine inspiration, they were still written by men and were based as much on hearsay and the religious teachings of the day as on the actual words of Jesus. Just my belief, anyway.

As for the Old Testament, written much earlier, much of it relied on oral tradition before religious scholars recorded it in writing. And as anyone who has ever played the telephone game, the accuracy of oral retellings becomes quite suspect.
