Yes, and this is why:

NOTE: look at the question is the afterlife scientifically or logically proven? first, or afterwards.

I would look at https://www.apologeticspress.org/apcontent.aspx?category=13&article=524.

Just because you mentioned the Koran, I am going to tell you why you can't trust it.

1. Mohammed's teachings and visions were vocally recorded, meaning that Mohammed himself did not write down his dreams scripts, that he told others what was said, and ten they told others, and those others wrote them down in the Koran.

2. I could tell you the same thing: the Koran and the Srimad Bhagatam are just books. They are not the most reliable books, have you ever read the Bible?

3. This brings a popular debate over one simple question: How do we know that the Bible is true? There are many answers to that simple question: 1, We know the Bible is true because the Bible is God's Word, because God says his word is pure, because people witnessed the events of the Bible, and the Bible is historically correct.

It says in 2 Peter 1:16 that

For we[the people who wrote down the happenings of the Bible] did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

Meaning that, these authors who wrote the Bible saw Jesus, and they did not listen to cleverly written myths or stories for their proof to write this, but they saw with their own eyes the coming of Jesus. They know for sure that He came, because they saw Him.

It also says in 1 John 1:1

That which was from the beginning [Christ], ​which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and our hands have handled concerning the Word of life.

We, being the authors of the Bible, know what we have heard, seen, and touched, and we know that it is true. All this concerning Jesus, or the Word of life, we know for granted what it means and that it is true, because we have seen it.

Another verse, in Luke chapter 2 verse 1, decrees:

 

And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.

​The Bible actually mentions Caesar Augustus, the 2nd emperor of Rome. Where it mentions it, is historically accurate, that archeological findings are exactly with this verse and history. That history books and the Bible are aligned.

2, we know that the Bible is true because God used at least 40 men to write the Bible, and yet it all fits together.

Tonight, I am going to write three sentences about anything, anything at all. I'd like you to do the same. You can write about butterflies, trucks, cells, Mohammed, anything.

Then, tomorrow, I'll post what I wrote, and you can post what you wrote. Then, I would put my sentences under yours, and we'll see if the fit together, and make sense.

They won't, unless you are spying on me.

Now think about it, the Bible was written over 1500 years, with at least 40 men authoring it. Most of these men have no interaction with each other, but yet, the Bible all makes sense. How can that be? Only if all 40 of these men were inspired by one supernatural God, telling them what they need to write.

In 2 Timothy 3:16, it says

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

All scripture is inspired by one God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit inspired the hearts of these 40 men to write what they did, thus making it possible for 40 different men living is many different time periods to write about things in a readable, understandable text.

How could they without a supernatural God inspiring them?

Also, we know the Bible is true because events that were prophesied really happened. Jesus of the New Testament fulfilled hundreds of Old Testament prophesies, and the Bible predicted so many other secular things. Here is a list of the events predicted:

http://peace-of-mind.net/prediction.htm

And last but not least, the Bible is true because it changes peoples lives.

Look at this passage from Acts 16:29-31:

29

Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.

30

And he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

31

So they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."

If you would like to read the rest of this passage, here is a link to do so:

https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/act/16/29/s_1034029

That is exciting to think about for the Christians out there, and even for some non-believers.

Is that what you call historically accurate, exceptionally supernatural, biblical, life-changing, prophesy-fulfilling, record-breaking nonsense? Because it doesn't sound like nonsense to me.

If you didn't read this entire thing, I highly suggest that you do, as it is very interesting even for the common atheist or Muslim, or non-believer in general.

Bible is true but it is not 100% true. because the Quran is the real life guidance and the bible add some more fake information on it. and it more toward to cult. they believe Allah but they believe as the father of god. They believe Jesus but they believe as the real god. They believe the angel Gabriel but they believe as the son of the real god (Jesus). the real god is Allah. and it is only one of the creater. and Nabi Muhammad S.A.W is the messenger of Allah and our prophet. Bible takes many words from Al quran and some of it they change their meaning. otherwise, as me as the other region  apart of christian, i also respect their trust.

and the bible has hate in it like letviticus 20  malachi 1 verse 2 through 3 and there more verses showing hate but the quran is  a book of love and peace. In the second chapter  it states that allah is merciful and he forgives all the sinners. And islam just means submit to allah islam is peaceful and if you talk about isis what about the nazis they killed in the name of jesus and the crusade . ISIS is the fake islam . Real muslims are against isis like some christians are against the nazis. Hinduism is a religon that states that we are all one and that we are braham so if you try to judge a religon look up the religon for your self and please watch who is god -Allah jesus or enimen i just want you to look at that video

Our God is a merciful and loving God. He forgives all sinners, and loves all sinners. He says that love is patient and love is kind, and he asks you to love your enemies and do good to those who persecute you. He offers everyone a gift, the gift of an eternal life in heaven, if we just follow Him and believe that He is the One and Only God and that Jesus is the One and Only Jesus.

Every one on this earth is a sinner, even me, and you, and the kid next door, and the clerk behind the counter, and Billy Graham, and my pastor, and your pastor and everyone. But if you repent of your sins, and realize that He loves you and forgives you, you are washed clean of this sin. You are "washed white as snow" as it says in Isaiah 1:18

 

“Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the LORD,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.

The Lord will forgive you, even before you ask. You just have to know that. I have asked to be forgiven, that is what being a Christian is. Asking to be forgiven, following His Words, and trusting, loving, and believing Him.

Yes. Everyone is a sinner. You have to ask God to forgive you if you are a sinner, and since everyone is a sinner, everyone has to ask God to forgive them.

For a good test unlike this you should have both friend or foe. for the first video you put here there was a guy showing people that the bible is evil. the stuff that was said there could've meant something different. the last video had no foe. all it had was one guy talking that is Islam. no wonder he said that Allah is the best.

a good expiriment is like this: you take 10 Christians and 10 Athiests scientists into room. in the room there is a peice of cloth that was with jesus when he was in the tomb. you have both sides in the room so it can't be flawed. what if i told you this was a true story and all of the athiests turned christian. BOOM! thats how a good expirement is done.

If God spoke to Moses , Elijah, and other prophets does that mean that God is a human and if so he did not created the universe because no human being cannot create a universe . 2 matter cannot be created or destroyed watch the video Did God create the universe ? No . Watch that video and that will explain everything.3 Rainbow Gravity theory states that the universe was never created and before you say that is a theory, look up  the defintion of theory according to science.

I would suggest looking into the Kalam Cosmological Argument. It has two premises and one conclusion.

1. Everything that begins to exist has a creator/is created.

2. The universe exists.

Thus, the universe has a creator/was created.

What could have enough power to create the entire universe? The conceptual analysis of this question leads us to something that is outside of/transcends time and space. Something that is all-powerful and all-knowing. Something like God.

Something that's hard for people to understand is that you don't have to know everything and you can't know everything. In the Bible it says humans are finite. We don't need to know everything cause that's what God is for God knows everything! If we knew everything there wouldn't be bad cause we would have known what are repercussions would have been after the fall.

I'm sorry if I offend anyone,but there is a huge difference between Islam and Christianity.The Bible DOES NOT say that it's okay to run around killing people who don't believe what you believe. Matter of fact,it says in Matthew 5:44 "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."
