Proving the Bible

RE: Proving the Bible
(May 9, 2014 at 8:12 pm)Brakeman Wrote: It's almost as if the bible authors knew that they would never have anything tangible of jesus that would take his existence out of question. They knew that they had to first convince people that a Jesus existed, then they could concentrate on the particulars..
They begin to lay the groundwork for this early, such as when Jesus tells Thomas that 'blessed are those who have not seen, yet believe.' Which is a very strange phrase coming from a guy who did everything from parlor tricks to bringing himself back from the dead, and who specifically answered John the Baptist's question about his bona-fides by performing miracles. But no, all of a sudden believing did not require seeing. And all of a sudden, anyone who mocked the second coming wasn't being patient enough. And so on. The god who was adamant about showing people just what he was capable of, decided that it was time to completely disappear.

Maybe camera flash causes him to suffer epileptic fits?
"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."
