(August 28, 2010 at 10:20 am)The Omnissiunt One Wrote: Christianity claims that God answers prayers and performs miracles. These things are empirically verifiable. No evidence has been found that prayer is effective, and no miracle has been proven beyond reasonable doubt to be supernatural.It also claims that we have an immaterial essence which will survive our death, when all evidence demomstrates we are material beings of finite existence. The afterlife has never been objectively shown to exist.
Jesus (a finite, limited, material man) was also a god (infinite, unlimited, immaterial personal being). Therefore he was a logical impossibility and either didn't exist or was not a god.
Jesus was bodily resurrected to heaven to dwell with god in heaven. God who is immaterial and exists only in a supernatural realm, meaning Jesus as a bodily resurrected human could not have passed into heaven.
