The bible, looked at as a primary source and a bibliographical account, can tell as numerous things about ancient societies.

The bible is NOT a primary source. I don't know why anybody would claim it as such.
Wether or not something is a primary source depends on your question. If I am doing research after different bible translations, every translation is a primary source.

i'm assuming that the belief that the U.S. somehow 'won' the cold war coincides with that 'factoid' that the US has the most nukes, cuz, u know, we won dat war that we never had somehow. CCCP got skared of our nukies and satellites that shoot lazrs leik in Star Warz; dey don't wanna be blewn up leik Alderan.
waddaya know, it wasn't a moon after all!

It didn't matter who had the most nukes cause both the US and the USSR had enough nukes on their own to obliterate the whole world a few times. Remember the term "overkill". This was pretty much the only thing they were betting with against each other in the end. "We can destroy the world twice!" "And we thrice!"

No, they were betting on:
1) The quantity and quality of their nuclear arsenal being sufficient to deter the other nation from launching the first attack and
2) In the case of an actual exchange; the speed, accuracy and co-ordination of their delivery system being better than the opposing side's, hence they can remove all necessary military, production and infrastructure targets quicker and better than the enemy can, and in such a way that the enemy's delivery system will be severely hampered.
Luckily for the world, the first point acted both ways.

Well, since science supports the Bible, I'm going to take the Bible seriously.

It was also written by his disciples, Many of them, Who only wrote what they thought and saw of him, the Bible is not a perfect source of finding the answer to the world ending.
But let's be truthful with ourselves, It's getting to be the end of 2011, If 2012 was really the so called end of the world, We would see the world having issues or whatever, volcano eruptions, hell idk, Anything.
It just doesn't logical to believe everything on the internet no matter how many big words or beautiful pictures/videos/animations are used to interpret the views of 2012.

So, have any conversations with burning bushes lately? Maybe you spent a couple days inside a whale? Or have you recently decided to take a stroll on top of a lake? Let me know when I'm getting close to the right answer...
In case my sarcasm missed, I do not believe the bible to be a source of accurate information. I could go on to flame the bible further, but I believe my point has been made.

It's a viable source of information. The information is just not very trustworthy.

Anything that has been translated and re-translated many times from multiple ancient and extinct langauges, and rewritten by many monks each of whom probably has their own interpretation of it, and is then split into multiple versions, which cause many wars between members of the same faith over exactly what the orginal version said... yeah I wouldn't take that as a source of any valuable information. Even from a historical point of view, it's bad.
