maybe the quaran(forgive me for spelling) would be an even better choice for a history book?

I am from the mid-west and while i believe in a greater power, or something above us that is not human or of this world. I am not religious. How many aspiring scientists do you know that are religious? The Mid-West is also highly dependent on its technology, there is also an issue of lack of population to help us sustain the work and care for others.


No time to respond to more atm, will do later, but the Bible and the Quaran are NOT history books. All the stories are written down hundreds of years after it actually happened and most stories are full of human superstition. Noah's arch is one such thing which never happened as it is quite impossible, but with their limited knowledge back then, they thought it possible.
There is history in the Bible though, just get it confirmed from real history books first. The Bible is first and foremost a book of BELIEF.
