Is the bible historically accurate ?

1 post in this topic

Is the bible true historically? Look we see the world through a story, and the boundary between materiality and imagination is fluid. So if we imagine the bible as historically accurate, it becomes historically accurate in our experience.

The notion of factuality is absurd. If we take the model of factual objectivity seriously, then we end up with an infinite amount of facts. Hence reality becomes unknowable. Think of it this way, there are 8 billion people on planet earth. Okay that's something, now how many facts did occur to every single person just today? An infinite amount of facts. Therefore if you base your model of reality on factual objectivity you're doomed to fail at grasping anything significant due to the sheer robusticity of the domain of facts. However if you think of life as a story, therefore life becomes way more understandable, the boundary between imagination and material reality collapses because everything you imagine to be true becomes true in your lived experience. And wisdom is knowing what story to tell yourself. And a bad story to tell yourself is that you operate under a factual objective mode of viewing the world, which is just intenable due to the reason i cited previously.
