Most people think Christianity itself is just a "conspiracy theory." An opiate of the masses. Something used to control the simple minded. Before you laugh at stupid Christians, ask yourself if there is any proof that its claims are true. Here is compelling evidence that the Bible is no ordinary book:
Job 26:7 (written 3500 years ago): “He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth upon nothing.” The Bible claimed that the earth freely floated in space. Science then thought that the earth sat on a large animal. We now know that the earth has a free float in space.
Hebrews 11:3 (written 2000 years ago): “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” The Bible claims that all creation is made of invisible material. Science then was ignorant of the subject. We now know that the entire creation is made of invisible elements called “atoms.”
Leviticus 17:11 (written 3000 years ago): “For the life of the flesh is in the blood.” The Scriptures declare that blood is the source of life. Up until 120 years ago, sick people were “bled,” and many died because of the practice. We now know that blood is the source of life. If you lose your blood, you will lose your life.
Isaiah 40:22 (written 2800 years ago): “It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth.” The Bible informs us here that the earth is round. At a time when science believed that the earth was flat, it was the Scriptures that inspired Christopher Columbus to sail around the world. He wrote: “It was the Lord who put it into my mind. I could feel His hand upon me…there is no question the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit because He comforted me with rays of marvelous illumination from the Holy Scriptures…” (From his diary, in reference to his discovery of “the New World”).
Jeremiah 33:22 (written 2500 years ago): “As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured.” The Bible claimed that there are billions of stars (“host of heaven” is the biblical term for the stars). When it made this statement, no one knew how vast the numbers of stars were as only about 1,100 were observable. Now we know that there are billions of stars, and that they cannot be numbered.
Amos 9:6 (written 2,800 years ago): “He…calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth; the Lord is His name.” The Mississippi River dumps over six million gallons of water per second into the Gulf of Mexico. Where does all that water go? That’s just one of thousands of rivers. The answer lies in the hydrologic cycle, something that was not fully accepted until the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, 2500 years after the Bible said that God takes the waters of the sea, and pours them upon the face of the earth.

I tried to count before, it didn't work so I don't know how they counted 1100. Must be under a well.
I once went to sleep on top of a rock jutting out to sea in Saudi, and the nearest light source (apart from the odd ship out to sea) was about 80 miles away.
Lying on my back looking up I couldn't see any land or sea in my peripheral vision - it was like actually being in space. One of the best experiences of my life.
It must have been fun sleeping under the stars. Love it.
It was.
Me and a mate dragged our camp-beds up onto a big diamond shaped rock that got cut off by the tide during the day time - it was totally flat on top. Very comfortable.
The only awkward bit was climbing a 20ft wall of rock in the dark when it was bed time - but so worth it. It was 35 years ago and I remember it like it was last week.
