Who is Telling the Truth?

One of my college textbooks referred to the Bible as a book of fables, stories which sound good, but aren’t real.  Over the course of the semester, I discovered that our Sociology book used the same timelines as referenced in the Bible.  Upon reading this information, I began to wonder, who is telling the truth?

As I studied Genesis 19 this morning, I wanted to know the origin of sodomy.  Based upon my research, credit is given to the city of Sodom, whose blatant sexual perversions in Genesis 19:4-9 coined the term which applies to modern sodomy laws.  If the Bible is not to be taken serious, why then have most of the nations of the world incorporated biblical principles into their societal rules and regulations?

Sure, comprehending a world wide flood is difficult to grasp.  However, other events such as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah can be supported by science.  According to Genesis 19:27-28, this catastrophe sounds similar to a pyroclastic flow, a side effect of a major volcanic eruption.  Archeologist have found bodies like Lot’s wife, mummified by the hot ashes and gas.  When you apply the 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 principle, regardless of the topic or subject, the Holy Spirit can reveal to you like John 4:23-24, who is telling the truth.
