Ive always been interested in asking someone who has been through formal theological study if the basis of their education was based on factual information eg. historical information vs. belief systems or both?
Forgive me if the question seems obvious but Ive had differing approcahes of its teaching based upon the teachers method of getting the point across.
Does there seem to be any fact scientificly to support any form of religion ?
Documented proof of the activities or lives of the people discussed ?
Any help would be appreciated

There is currently no science that supports claims of the paranormal... plenty of pseudoscience though!

Many of those documented accounts are usually questionable. Stories like David and Goliath could certainly have occurred, buts its more likely stories like that are myths and fables.
Any help would be appreciated
Remember, the definition of theology is "The study of the nature of God and religious truth and rational inquiries into religious questions". I dont know if it is the same as debunking.

I've always believed some priests know what the hell is going on. If you are forced to study the bible for years as part of academia, you've GOT to discover something!
So they see it's really a scam, but sign up anyway - like Championship Wrestling!
