<i>Yeah, they did.

How do you know those standards to be true? Please logically prove the scientific method to be true. <b>You're kidding, right? You want me to prove the usefulness of the scientific method? Look around you. Besides, you can create a problem for which you know the answer, and let scientists use these ...

Generation wasnt meant in the 100 years sence, ive read somewhere of what it meant, ill try find it. <b>He didn't use the word generation.</b> I sure did. No, they were not risen from the dead, Jesus was the only one. That just proves your lack of study in this area. <b>Maybe you're talking about 15...

There are books that say that x japanese emperor was born from a dragon mating with a human, or that The Buddha was born of a virgin. Which books are those? When were they written and by whom? I don't have specific titles but I know those myths exist. My point is that people wrote a lot of wierd st...

I know i know. But they never said they were the son of God. <b>Yeah, they did. And even if they didn't, what, if I'm the first to claim I shoved 15 spoons up a crocodile's ass, does that make it so?</b> Yep. Many other religions believe the earth was held up by elephants and so on. <b>You know ther...

By what standard do you believe something to be true or not? Any reliable, proven standard. The scientific method, diametrically opposed logic, falsifiability, the ability to use a claim to make future predictions greatly lends to credibility. Like I said, Jehovah isn't even a valid hypothesis. Or ...

LOL. No other religions claimed to be sons of God. Only Jesus did, <b>What? Other people claimed to be <i>the messiah</i>, and even more mythologies have sent supposed sons of god.

Skimming wont do it, you have to search into it more. I've been reading similar sites for years, I've yet to find compelling evidence. It's like trying to prove that magic spells really exist by proving that someone named merlin really lived and breathed a long time ago, and that people really exis...

A few evidences for macroevolution: 1. The fossil record, as a whole pretty much. 2. The fact that genetically we are a) all related, meaning we all have a common ancestor - this is fact, not hypothesis, and b) we are less and less closely related to one another in exactly the areas of life you woul...

Resident, ever hear of the Preterist view? all of the things described there have already happened in the Apostle's lifetime, except the second coming of Christ (which isnt what Jesus talks about in those passages). Anyway, many would argue that "generation" means "race", or a c...
