In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus

[John 6IX Breezy]

He thinks he is smart, like most stupid people. It's very fashionable in these days of anti intellectualism, where any low grade psycho quack can pretend to be smartier than professional and experienced physicists.

If I ever sound confident (which I hope is most of the time), it is usually because I have a textbook or journal article open and am paraphrasing or summarizing what it says.

I used to quote my sources directly and include one in almost every post but that just made people even more upset lol.

Like many other Christians, he believes there is another standard for knowledge which believers have access to.  It trumps everything else.

I think this thread trumps everything else in his life. He's addicted to it. Mostly because people keep engaging with him for reasons I can't understand.

Where from John, the sun hadn't been magic'd into existence, or the stars, according to the Genesis creation myth?

What came first according to modern cosmology: Photons or Sun/stars?

You missed two other important questions:

How would this vegetation survive the sub zero frigid conditions without our sun, and exactly what kept the earth in a stable orbit?

This should be good

By the grace of god obviously.

I now concour with the troll that words in the Bible dont seem to really mean what they say. I propose that indeed Genesis was intended to convey a different creation story as the literal reading of Genesis suggests. In fact this real meaning of the Bible is worse in even more ways.

Prove me wrong!

How would this vegetation survive the sub zero frigid conditions without our sun...?

Is there a relationship between photons and temperature, perhaps? You're asking the same thing and don't even know enough to realize it.

Jupiter (around -110°C), Saturn (around -140°C), Uranus (around -195°C), and Neptune (around -200°C) are much cooler. No photons there then John? This is comedy gold...

You forgot to explain how the earth maintained an orbit without the sun? Hell, how did it form without the sun? More magic?

No photons? Are you sure? Hmm, interesting how the temperature seems to drop the fewer photons a planet receives.
