Nobody will believe in the bible just because this book is old. Believing happens on an emotional level, I mean I have this "feeling" that Jesus is real, but what is this feeling worth ? And why do I have this feeling while others don't have it ? Is this really the holy spirit or is this simply because I am destined to believe or is it simply because I am naive ? I mean is this the same feeling like the feeling that it could rain tomorrow ? Is this that kind of feeling which is rather an assumption ? What do you think ? I have heard of people which read the bible and didn't become believers, this shows the fact that there is a very old book which claims that there is a God doesn't do anything. It takes more to believe.
