(March 2, 2021 at 4:52 pm)Fake Messiah Wrote: Perhaps the most bizarre part seems to me is at the 15-minute mark where Craig is asked if Jesus knew about the evolution and Craig said "no" saying that Jesus was not all-knowing.Likely to be a consequence of how Craig interprets the Fully Human™ clause. Alot of the funnier stories (as apprehended by non-believers) and obvious narrative discontinuities boil down to the negotiation between proto-christian factions. Could jesus be fully human if he were omniscient? Could he be tempted? Would his sacrifice be worthy if he were merely human.....and could it be worthy if he were not human at all?
But if Jesus did not know about something so important as to how life functions, like evolution, then why trust him about other stuff like an exorcism (because he obviously didn't know any better) and even the afterlife claims?
The answers they settled on are no, no, no, and no. They needed their god to be able to suffer so that it could pay for their sins with it's blood in a meaningful way - but it can't be so human that it's sacrifice would be dirty and unclean and insufficient like all the rest of the worms. It's not about explaining evolution or anything in thi life..and it doesn't explain how the hereafter works either. It's all an answer to a single question that had to satisfy alot of peoples' superstitions.
