Any study of man's history will prove that the Bible had (and still has) a unique and profound influence. The Bible gives us a proper perspective on all vital human issues, including marriage, raising children, finances, government, the judicial system, equal rights, aging, poverty, health, work, ecology, education, entertainment, etc. The basis for the world's laws and ethics all originate in God's Word. Even the seven-day week, which was given at creation, has become the worldwide standard pattern. No other source for this cycle has ever been offered.
The Bible tells us that God is good and there is absolutely no darkness in Him (Mark 10:18, 1 John 1:5). Throughout history whenever Christianity has been blamed for atrocities, one always finds major deviations from God's Word. Conversely, whenever the Bible is believed and followed, people live in harmony. Even a skeptic has to stand in awe of the Bible's unique influence and profound insight.
