I will never get the idea of these books. You don't need to be a scientist to say that, actually, it's not possible for some metaphysical spirtual being to materialize stuff out of thin air and make people live to be thousands of years old, and you obviously don't need to read a 500 page book to understand that.

The bible is not a science manuscript. It's a religious book, it's about religion, culture, etc People are religious because they are naturally inclined to want some magic, some spirituality, something in their life other than numbers and figures, which is also not hard to understand, I don't need a scientific book to understand that I love my brother or my father, and it can't all be put into numbers and words on a page. But of course the real point of these books is so a bunch of people can think "I'm so smart because I haven't been fooled like all these stupid religious people"
