I use terms as I understand them. I don't redefine anything.

Then apparently you don't learn anything either. When I find I've been misusing a word, I start using it correctly. It would benefit you to try that, too.

If they let someone in to examine it, how do you think they would be able to determine if it was really Abraham?

The same way they determined that they have found simon the cyrenians bones, and the high priest caiaphs bones:

It's not believing in some sort of God that makes him religious, it's all the things he believes about that God.

I still disagree, if we took the question of gods existence to court, archaeological evidence cannot be ruled out.

You are just ruling it out.

Yet notice how vastly differing our minds are, our discernment. The fact that the majority of earth, even the universe , is not hospitable for life shows me that life had to be designed and limited to areas; its like a parent telling a child, you can go in the back yard and play, but you cannot go outside of the yard. They can do what they want inside the yard, but that's it, no further.

I don't understand your analogy? Surely it would be the opposite had their been a creator, in that everything would be exploitable and explorable?

Why bother to create an almost infinite space that nobody (from earth) will ever see, let alone be able to inhabit?

Mick this is another argument from ignorance.

You don't know the answer so you chose 'any' answer.

It's akin to asking a complicated math question that would be impossible to work out in your head, then claiming because you could invent an answer then it must be correct. That's not how it works.

It's disingenuous to claim an answer when really you have no basis to claim it as factual.

41 pages. 41 damn pages, of people telling him this.

He doesn't get it. He doesn't want to get it. He never will get it.

To me it stops being fun after the first 2/3 pages of intentional ignorance.
