Yet you don't seem to have a problem with early Christians using the then two millennium old story of Horus' twelve disciples, crucifixion, and resurrection after three days.

This discussion seems to have happened an infinite number of times before.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

Why just some guy in a cave all by himself making that claim means it's true without any evidence?

How does that overturn the evidence of the 27 books that Jesus died on the cross?


The 27 books is taken together or singly no evidence of anything other than many people copied from a few fools.

How does your NT overturn the evidence of the Koran?

I'm becoming more and more skeptical that Revivin is here to have any sort of actual discussion at all.

I remember the first time I learned that my parents did the deed, I couldn't believe it.

Atheists prove God exists because they know something can't come from nothing and infinite regress is impossible.
