Does the Bible exist in the ORIGINAL form anywhere on earth?

Because ancient writing surfaces were natural in their origin, they could decay easily. Papyrus, clay, and animal skins of the Old World did not have an incredibly long "shelf life". Therefore, we do not have any of the original documents (called autographs) that the Biblical authors wrote. However, we do have copies of the originals (called manuscripts) and can compare them to discern what were in the originals, and what wasn't.

WOW!

I got this from comereason.org!

Wow... we've been trying to tell you this in one form or another for years now. 8-)

To answer your topic's question though...

Unlikely since the Bible as we know it wasn't compiled into a nice, neat book 8-) but... the entire Earth has not been excavated and explored, so, who knows what may be found?
