Out of curiosity is the writing of the Bible literally stated to be written by the hand of God, or that the act of writing the book was a product of direct communication with God, or that God imparted a divine inspiration. This is fairly important. I am asking this does the book say these things happened to the writers. I am curious is this found in the document, or is it simply assumed to be the case. I am just curious, because in all of these debates I have had. Not once has anyone presented a passage where God takes credit for the writing. Not to mention I have never heard anyone even recount a story of a shepard boy just stumbling over the finished book in the wilderness.
Speaking to your conspiracy theory about Evolution. Seriously there are people whos reputations are at stake, or there is a profit making venture underway? The scientific community as a whole accepts the theory. That said scientists are more then willing to discount a theory proven wrong. Not fifty years ago there were competing theories for the nature of the Universe the Big Bang model, and the Static State model. Both models had large camps of supporters. However once Static State was disproven via cosmic background radiation the community as a whole fell in line with the Big Bang model. With no resentment, and nobody had their reputations crushed. This was even a very public debate between supporters, and the public didn't even take it out on the losing side. This reputation notion is nonsense. This might hold weight if scientists who support a theory proven false got lynched, but it doesn't happen. They still get jobs, and they are still well paid.
This notion that someone is making money off of evolution is bullshit. Only your own persecution complex cooked this one up. Scientific texts and lectures aren't what most of us would call cash cows. Further more it isn't even if the theory needs more validation. In other words your not going to get a grant to prove natural selection yet again. You might get money for paleontology. Sponsers often get recognition in the naming of finds, but really getting money to dig in dirt in the hot sun for months on end. That is something you do if you expect to find something or at least hope to find something. Sometimes they have to go on digs for years on end until they find a new species.
Scientists don't make money off of Natural Selection. Nor are their reputations at stake. Especially when the truly vast majority of the community takes the theory as fact. You know who really makes money off of Natural Selection. Wait for it theologians thats right. There is a shitload of money into trying to debunk Evolution. The faithful are easily bilked, and they buy shitloads of books, go to seminars, and make donations. A scientist doing paleotology might make twenty five thousand dollars a year on a Paleontological dig, and most of the diggers are either doing it for free, or are locals that are getting a good wage, but not a spectacular one.
The charismatic theologian attacking Natural Selection on the other hand can make tens of millions of dollars. A television ministry is a massive corporate venture. Many of them own large amounts of real estate, and even run amusement parks. Many of them are really financial moguls. Plus its their reputation that is golden. Any insinuation of inproper behavior can destroy their money making machine. One romp with a prostitute, and it can be over. So here is where we are.
The Scientist works in basic obscurity, basically makes a living, and has to put in a lot of hard work. Sounds kind of like a decent guy to me. The Theologian tearing down Natural Selection gets fame, basically makes a fortune, and only has to put in a couple hours work a week. Oh my such back breaking labor. Seriously here who has the most to gain, and who has the most to lose. A conspiracy doesn't just happen for shits and giggles. There is something to gain, and really scientists don't have anything to gain. Hell if one of them can scientifically disprove Natural Selection he or she would be a shoe in for the Nobel prize, and become world famous. Can that actually be how a conspiracy works.
Your imagining things.
