I’ve never thought the stories in the Bible had to be literally true. Like *archeologically* true. That’s not where faith comes from. The stories are true because if you stop and think about life you see all the lessons we’ve already learned through thousands of years of experience. You see why people have chosen to keep believing these things, because they ARE actually a choice. Not that you have a choice to be religious, all humans are even if they say they aren’t. But the story of Christ IS true in the way that inspires *faith* which is what actually matters more. The *choice* of faith is what is powerful about it.

I've heard a YouTuber named Jonathan Pageau say something similar. The history recorded in the Bible is presented as factual, so if it is verifiably false I think that would destroy faith. Like St Paul says, Christianity rests on the fact of Christ's literal resurrection.
It seems more accurate to speak about faith as a gift. I can't choose to believe something, especially something I think is false.

Why does it rest on are geologically provable fact when I can see God’s hand in every other aspect of life? Like I don’t need us to be able to find pieces of the cross they crucified Jesus on to understand that love and forgiveness are the fundamental blocks of life.

Faith certainly does not rest in reason or in empiricism, that's not what I'm trying to say. I mean that because these events truly happened, we should expect that they should align with our observations. If they seemingly don't, then we trust in God over ourselves. It sounds like we agree on that.
