On "Scholarly Consensus"

[Beta Ray Bill]

Um, I'm not going to spend all day spewing evidence that Jesus wasn't historically significant or even divine until the Gospels interpolated Pagan ideals into their little cult. I don't have enough time to tell you all those things. Doubt me? Look them up on a site that isn't religiously biased.

Yes, I doubt you. No such evidence exists.

And, basically, science is reasoning and logic, not blind speculation like religion is. Next time you are stumped with a problem, remember that you have two choices: use reasoning and logic to find the answer, or just pray to God for the answer. Which one do you think will get you a better result?

No, science is not the same thing as deductive logic, that’s flat out wrong. There is no such thing as scientific proof.

Interesting how you totally ignored my questions...

Which questions? About the flood and Egypt? What does the flood have to do with Jesus? Secondly, what sort of evidence would you expect from Egypt? Hotel receipts?

So, basically, if you don't agree with it, it has no merit, and you'll never let yourself be convinced otherwise. I don't know if that's more ignorance or arrogance, but it certainly puts a damper on your potential for spiritual growth.

Best of luck. You're gonna need it.
