i read the article again, and i must say, it is useless. it is one man's opinion, and an uninformed opinion at that.
to call the Bible hearsay, is ignorant. you cannot use the legal definition of hearsay to apply it to the Bible, and even if you do, some of what you are reading would be admissable in court.
Hearsay as an excuse for ignoring history
the Bible, Old and New Testament, contains eyewitness accounts of events. Period. Whether you choose to believe those eyewitness accounts is your decision. it also contains parables and rumored events, yes. but to dismiss it all as hearsay is ridiculous.
the author also brings science into the mix. i might also mention he states that Christians are delusional. Some of our world's leading esteemed and respected scientists are Christians. They have made discoveries that answer questions we never thought we'd have answers to. Are they delusional, too?
