What am I seeking?
One of the questions which I am investigating lately is - the authenticity of the gospels, although I believe my investigation will be shaky. After all even if the bible scholars cannot prove its authenticity, who am I to come up with an answer more than an educated guess?
Nonetheless, it is entertaining to read about different debates between atheists and theists, and to recognize the inconsistencies within the bible verses. On the one hand, I read about Noah's ark was built with a magical ratio revealing inspired fore-scientific knowledge, on the other hand here says Noah's story was based on a myth.
Despite all these doubts, it is pretty certain that the bible we have now is 70/80% the same as the one at 70AD. Here is an article describing the process, textual criticism, of how scholars came up with the new testament.

so have you come to a conclusion?
Not yet. Emotionally I hope God is true and there is a higher meaning of life. Also, I believe in the existence of a higher order of logic in the universe.
No one can be very certain who the authors of the books are, though I believe the letters are written by Paul. The authenticity of the Gospels and the OT is a matter of faith.
