I call bullshit and special pleading.
Ordinarily, this would be a derail, but you aren't making your case in the biological sciences sub-forum; you're making in the Christianity sub-forum. Does old "iron chariot" Yahweh really strike you, as a character, as the sort of deity you're trying to push here? Be honest.
Yeah, I know I'm in the wrong sub-forum but I don't know how to start my own forum.
If you must know, one of the main reasons that I reach the Biblical God is because the likelihood that Jesus really did rise from the dead. It is the only serious explanation for the explosion of the church right around that time with hundreds claiming to have seen him. Mass hallucinations and other explanations are consistently ruled out
I love that you used "rise from the dead," and "only serious explanation" in the same sentence. Thanks for the laugh. clap ::
