Evidently you do not know the difference between "evidence" and "proof". I suggest you look it up before you continue. It's evidence a man called "The Christ" existed in 33 A.D, but that evidence has all sorts of things that need to be researched. They are not even 100% certain the dating is accurate for FSM's sake! "The Christ" is a very ambiguous title, and it doesn't necessarily refer to Jesus. These are questions that need answering before you can go off on a tangent saying this somehow "proves" Jesus.
Quote:This discovery puts atheism at risk of total failure. Atheists have claimed over the last several hundred years that Jesus Christ was a mythical super-hero invented by the Gospel records many decades after his death. Now we are finding caves where Jesus did have followers in 33 a.d. Long before any Gospel account.
What atheists claim and what atheism is are completely different matters. Atheism has existed longer than any religion. The only way atheism
can ever fail is if you can prove 100% empirically that a God exists. It is no consolation if a man called Jesus turns out to have existed, because unless you can prove that what was written about him was what actually happened, atheism still holds.
Quote:People, it's a proven fact that a man called, 'the Christ' existed in the first century. This is not a mythical story invented by a bunch of "delusional" men with nothing better to do than make up stories about 'super-heroes."
Do you have any facts to back up your assertion that a man called "the Christ" existed in the first century?
