is the jewish bible true

The Jewish Bible is often referred to by Christians as The Old Testament.
Is it true?
Some thoughts.

1. Nobel Prize Winner Arno Penzias whose work identifying cosmic background radiation is regarded by many as having established the historicity of the The Big Bang, once stated: "The best data we have are exactly what I would have predicted had I had nothing to go on but the five books of Moses, the Psalms, the Bible as a whole."

2. Anthropologists claim that stories of a world wide flood are found in the ancient traditions of tribes and peoples on every continent. Some claim that the similarities between these widely dispersed ancient accounts imply an historicity for Noah's Flood.

3. Werner Keller is of interest for, among other things, organising a resistance group to the Nazis in Germany during World War Two. In 1955 he published a book called The Bible As History. His book cites data from modern archaeological explorations along with historical evidence from various sources as confirming many details contained in the Bible. A similar argument suggesting that archaeological and historical evidence being collected in the present era verify what was written in the Old and New Testaments thousands of years ago, is advanced by the British academic Ian Wilson in his book The Bible Is History which was published in the year 2000.

4. The writer David Berlinski has remarked that the cosmologies being advanced by atheistic scientists have more in common with pagan myths than with anything we might call science. In describing quantum cosmology Mr Berlinski felt it necessary to advise his readers: "This is not a parody of quantum cosmology. This IS quantum cosmology."

5. After a life time of atheistic advocacy, British philosopher Anthony Flew in 2004 wrote a book entitled There Is A God, How The World's Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind. In it he asserts that increasing scientific knowledge about the nature of matter and life itself has led to his repudiation of atheism. Mr Flew suggests that the complexity of what we call DNA molecules alone points directly to the existence of a designer who is in his attributes identifiable with the God of the Hebrews as described in the Bible.
