horizontal gene transfer: the real IM? (Introduction)

From a statistical standpoint, just the prophecies about the life of Christ being fulfilled 100% are beyond the point being of statistically impossible. -Let's me phrase the question this way. In science, if a theory were to have even a 70% success rate, we would question our thinking if we found something that did not agree with the theory. Evolution has a FAR poorer success rate than that. Even supposed "facts" such as the theory of gravity has a far poorer success rate. Yet, in science, if we find something that doesn't agree with a well supported theory, we tend to question our findings or assume that we are missing something or ignorant of something before we just discard the theory altogether.-If you consider the bible as a scientific theory, why does it not enjoy the same degree of trust that we would give any other scientific theory that has demonstrated such a high degree of success?

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
